Black People: Telling Our Own Stories
This video, The Danger of the Single Story (see below), is saying the same thing we said in our May broadcast of What U Need to Know. If we are told the same story over and over again, we begin to believe it - even if the story is about ourselves. Click here to listen to a recap of What U Need to Know: African Networking.
But many of us are telling our own stories. To read stories by and about Black people, see More Black Success.

Below is a recording of me being interviewed by Diana Broomfield about Black people telling our own stories.

New Black Author Interviews
I am particularly excited about the new More Black Success Volume 7. For the first time, I have devoted the entire volume to interviews with fiction and nonfiction authors.
Allyson Campbell has written a number of books. Her novel Chained and Bound describes what it is like for a woman to survive an abusive relationship.
Antwan McCLean's book Your Greater Self: An A-Z Guide to Becoming the Person You Most Admire encourages people to fulfil their highest potential.
Nahisha McCoy's novel Sweetest Revenge serves as a warning to young women not to let a man or a relationship dominate your life.
Plus loads of resources.
If you would like to be interviewed, or for more information, go to Books for Truth-Seekers.

Brothers, Are You Listening?
Time and time again I would hear comments like, “Black people don’t read” or “Black people don’t spend money on personal development programs. How many people are going to purchase a book titled Brothers Are You Listening? Don’t you know that Black men are the last people to purchase these types of books?”
Although I must admit that I was a little surprised by their reactions, I completely disagreed with their conclusions. I knew there was a need for personal development books written by and for African Americans and although most people disagreed with me I decided to pursue my dream any way. As a matter of fact, their rejection inspired me even more. - Michael Taylor
You can read Michael's story in More Black Success Volume 2.
