BLIND FAITH
Staring out in the direction of the fountain, my eyes met
with some of the most pretty eyes I had seen on a brotha. Violet.
A pretty boy. Teakwood complexion, honey cornsilk waves, and
a cleft chin. He had that Malcolm from the Young and the Restless
vibe going on. I smiled. He smiled back.
"I know you ain't making goo-goo eyes at that sell-out!"
"Sell-out?" I asked, half paying attention to Sharmaye,
my eye candy, tennis racket thrown over his shoulder, melting
out of view between one of the science buildings and the freshman
dorm. [Go to first installment] |

Detroit, MI - (BlackNews.com/BlackPR.com)
- 1-11-04.Despite progress that has been made in the struggle
for racial equality, many women of color have yet to fully understand
their true worth and potential. In author Terri McFaddin's newest
book entitled Sapphires and Other Precious Jewels,
she uncovers the distorted perceptions African American women
deal with on a daily basis and empowers them to embrace and celebrate
their value and strength.
In Sapphires and
Other Precious Jewels (WaterBrook/Random House, 224 pages,
paperback, 1-57856-599-5, $12.99), McFaddin draws from biblical
scripture to describe 12 precious gemstones that correlate to
a characteristic shared by women of African descent. The book
is written for women of African ancestry, particularly those who
need to discover and rediscover their beauty and value. McFaddin
hopes the book will tackle the self-esteem issues many women of
color have and give them the courage to overcome the adversities
in their life.
"If any race of women
should recognize that their value is far above rubies, pearls
and sapphires, it's those of African ancestry," says McFaddin.
"The challenges that Black women have faced throughout history
might have crushed their spirits. But instead adversity has caused
these women to shine with the brilliance of precious jewels."
