Questions Every Black Person Should Ask at Least Once

About the Book

Yes, it’s another ‘issues’ book, but with panache.  Questions Every Black Person Should Ask At Least Once is a socially conscious piece that poses significant questions to, particularly, the African Diaspora in a way that is comedic and thought provoking.  Cartoons are interspersed throughout the book to bring a visual dimension to the questions, as well as laughter.  The book safely exposes topics that have become taboo in the Black community, and questions that are downright hard to ask by using satire, while at the same time, frankly and earnestly laying serious issues on the
debate floor. 

Using statistics, deeply rooted cultural myths, and plain old common sense to build questions, the book hopes to be informative and reflexive, with the ultimate goal being for those who read it to become proactive.  QEBPSAO takes familiar ideas, many unique to the Black American community, and questions their effect on the community’s well being. 

About the Author

The author is an African-American female who has pondered the Black condition since a child.  As a trained Economist, the author understands the connection between education, employment, investment, business development, and job training, as well as how each of these factors influence socioeconomic mobility.  Alternately, trained in film specifically from a Hollywood perspective, she understands the role of the media, the power of influence, the business of Hollywood, and the importance of creative control.  The author brings all of those experiences and her background as a Little Rock, AR native together to make a social statement through this book.  Having never met a Black African, a Black European, a Black Caribbean, etc. in America until her college years in the Northeast, she's well aware of the fragmentation of the African Diaspora and the misunderstanding that it causes.  

Today, she hopes to break down these walls as a filmmaker currently working towards her M.F.A in Screenwriting at the University of California, Los Angeles.  She received her B.A. in Economics from Wellesley College.
