BRAVO

Revisado: 08-13-21

BRAVO Ms. Tyson. I thank you for sharing pieces, stitches, and patches of such a study quilt, your life. To your daughter, thank you for your patience and allowing your mother to be a part of our lives, especially the women who have endured the American Black experience. Her inspiration will carry many of us through the years yet to come.

Opinion

Revisado: 05-06-20

When I started the book I found myself very curious about this young man's resistance to what seemed to be everything. But it makes sense, he's a young man on the journey of life with so much to learn. I was curious to hear the rest of the story. Thank you for bringing mental health as it relates to black people into the story. What disturbed me most was his critique of President Obama about what's really happening with some Black people. The author sounded very immature. He sounds like a spoiled best. I know that the author knows that this is coming, of President Obama in his efforts to speak to Black connunities. The author came from a home with a father present. President Obama's wasn't speaking to you. So why twist it? He was talking to the men who do not take responsibility. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. So typical of the black community. The office critique of the president Was the language of a privilege black millennial who can't appreciate the wisdom and experiences of his elders.

Overview

The story was very informative and sad. I did not like the reading by the author, as I wish she would have had someone else do the voices of the girls. But the book was good and I'm going to be doing a screaming in my community.

Real Talk

This was an excellent, honest, truthful book. Sharing the vulnerable pieces of her life as 1st Lady had to be both a sigh of relief and a bit frightening. The book showed us how true to herself she is. Though it all it reminds me of Elton John's song, "I'm Still Standing," YES SHE IS... ♥️🙂
