Representations of Black Womanhood on Television
Being Mara Brock Akil: Representations of Black Womanhood on Television examines the body of work of Mara Brock Akil, the showrunner who produced Girlfriends, The Game, Being Mary Jane, and Love Is__. The contributions to this volume are theoretically anchored in Patricia Hill Collin’s Black Feminist Thought, with a focus on how Brock Akil’s shows intentionally address Black humanity and specifically provide context for Black women’s lived experiences and empathy for Black womanhood by featuring woman-centered characters with flaws, strength, and complexity. Shauntae Brown White and Kandace L. Harris have compiled a volume that analyzes themes that define Black womanhood and examines audience reception of and social media interaction with Brock Akil’s work.

The First Lady: African American Pastors’ Wives in Their Own Words
$15.99There is no lack of curiosity or opinions about the woman who serves as First Lady in Black church. Spoken and unspoken, there are expectations associated with being married to the pastor. Yet, every woman in the role approaches it differently depending on who she is, what her husband expects and the context of the church. Through a collection of 19 personal stories of African American pastors’ wives diverse in age, denomination and standpoint, The First Lady explores how these women define and negotiate their diverse roles as pastors’ wives while balancing the expectations of both their husbands and congregations.
Communication Matters – Bible Study
$6.99Communication Matters: A Biblical Study can be completed individually. However, I wrote it with the idea that each lesson could be completed in a group study while the reader completed the devotional individually. Whether the group is a church Bible study, women’s ministry, Sunday school class or just a group of friends, the discussion in the group study will provide an opportunity to see multiple perspectives in the vignettes and fresh ways to apply scripture to our daily living.

A hallmark of spiritual maturity is our ability to get along with others. In no greater way do we demonstrate this ability than through our communication skills; yet our communication with family, coworkers, and church members often falls short. We seek to be understood rather than to understand.
