2006 130 Pages, Paperback, $14.00 ISBN: 0967422663 Genre: Essay and spoken
word-poetry RAW Rating: 3.5 My dedication to... LOVING BLACK WOMEN is a
two-fold book about realigning our awareness to improve the way brothers and
sisters love each other, and about overcoming racial discrimination,
political domination, and white supremacy. LOVING BLACK WOMEN is a seed that
will hopefully fertilize our dreams as our ancestor's blood fertilized this
land, to produce acute awareness and cogent love. This is a concise, thought
provoking read that enlightens, educates and embraces us as a people.

BLACK WOMEN by Larry Ukali Johnson-Redd I’m not one to blush easily, but
the author’s sweet lyrics in praise of everything beautiful, everything
African and womanly, everything African feminine is at times overwhelming.
Johnson-Redd even uses poetry to teach African men how to attract and keep
such beautiful women around. Wanda
