All bodies are lovely no matter their size.” Her Body Can is a book of poetic self-love and body positivity declarations for all young girls. Its aim is to encourage our young girls to create a reality for themselves in which they love themselves and their bodies for exactly who and what they are, instead of learning to judge themselves and hate their bodies for what they are not. Our girls should know that their bodies are absolutely amazing and CAN DO incredible things—and that their worth is not measured by anything except how big they love themselves. The very first book of its kind, written for girls ages newborn to 8, this book intends to teach all young girls their bodies CAN DO ANYTHING and that what they look like is irrelevant—we are all beautiful exactly the way we are. The authors’ rhyming, sing-song voices deliver captivating messages that are easy for young readers to understand and absorb, while the illustrator’s whimsical, modern drawings and vibrant colors bring characters to life on and off the page.

This legendary tale introduces young readers to Molly Williams, an African American cook for New York City's Fire Company 11, who is considered to be the first known female firefighter in U.S. history. One winter day in 1818, when many of the firefighting volunteers are sick with influenza and a small wooden house is ablaze, Molly jumps into action and helps stop the blaze, proudly earning the nickname Volunteer Number 11. Relying on historic records and pictures and working closely with firefighting experts, Dianne Ochiltree and artist Kathleen Kemly not only bring this spunky and little-known heroine to life but also show how fires were fought in early America.

Brooks talks about her latest book, Red Hunter, to be released in November How do you forgive the one who shattered your family? How do you forgive yourself, if you were the one? There has been much to celebrate in the Archer family. August’s grandmother has been rejuvenated by late-life romance, honeymooning with the man who has waited so long for her. Her mother too has found love again, and even her best friend has come back into her life. With her own true love Faolan, August can finally enjoy just being an everyday couple in their little Maryland town—even if the mother of his child has been an irritating presence in their lives lately (and even if that bond is something August wonders if she’ll ever have with him). She knows she must keep up her fight training, and with Faolan’s help she’s learning to control the fierce power emerging within her. Yet August wants nothing more than to heal the old rifts in the Archer clan, and bring her estranged aunt Blair home. Blair Conall, however, is not a lady to be trusted. Having deserted her family years ago to secretly marry the leader of the lycan clan, the Archers’ ancient enemies—and later plotted his downfall as well—she is a complicated woman with her own plans and her own rules. But back in their Scottish homeland, the Lycan Council crafted a vicious and twisted scheme to rebuild their power. Reaching across the waters to Baltimore, they send a bloodthirsty killer after August, while calling on their monstrous cousins in the city’s rundown waterfronts to set a trap—and who better to bait it with than Blair herself? August may soon find that the most dangerous enemy is the one you call a friend, in this third book in the Red August series.

The text was Mark 6:42-52, the miracle of the 5 thousand fed, but the focus was verses 43 and 52- the taking of the scraps and their significance. Bishop Jakes began with this statement – "That which remains is greater than that which was lost." He highlights verse 41 where Jesus blesses the five loaves and two fish, admonishing that He is blessing what is not enough; and that the blessing and multiplication happens at the breaking. Selah. Before a true relationship with God, a woman's make is tethered to her experiences with man. This guided journal unravels one woman's heart revealing her truths, missteps, and victories through written reflections. Each reflection is followed by writing prompts that guide the reader's own journey of self-discovery that breaks open the heart to make room for God. GET HER BOOK HERE WEDNESDAY

JOIN AUTHOR CHERYL WOODRUFF-BROOKS FOR A SPECIAL LIVESTREAM READING AND DISCUSSION THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH FROM 7-7:45PM NETFLIX & READ VIEW THIS LIVESTREAM HERE: <will be posted when available> Watch “Self Made” about Madam C.J. Walker then visit us for a livestream reading about Cheryl W. Brooks’s Golden Beauty Boss: The story of Madame Sara Spencer Washington & The Apex Empire. You can also buy the book in advance and read it, watch the movie, and join the livestream to leave questions for the author. BUY THE BOOK ON AMAZON Cheryl Woodruff-Brooks has created the first biography of the life of Madame Sara Spencer Washington, founder of Apex News and Hair Company, once located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1911, a Virginia entrepreneur moved to Atlantic City and started selling cosmetics door-to-door and styling hair in her basement, growing her business into an empire. Sara opened a manufacturing company creating hundreds of products and hired 45,000 sales agents all over the world. Madame Sara Spencer Washington also opened beauty schools in twelve states. Her longest legacy was the Apex Beauty College in Philadelphia, which existed for nearly sixty years. Sara was honored at the New York World’s Trade Fair in 1939 as one of the “Most Distinguished Businesswomen,” surpassing the well-known Madame C.J. Walker in sales of hair and beauty products. She continued to expand Apex internationally, doing business in Haiti and South Africa. Madame Washington acquired millionaire status in the 1940s, taking on roles as a civic leader, and philanthropist. Cheryl takes you through the history of Apex from its inception until its dissolution after Sara’s death in 1953, sharing details of her life as she faced discrimination while earning the respect of all races along her journey. Cheryl discovered this hidden figure while researching her debut book, Chicken Bone Beach: A Pictorial History of Atlantic City’s Missouri Avenue Beach (Sunbury Press,$9.99). “No sooner than I learned about Sara, I instantly became captivated by her story,” Brooks writes in her introduction of her paperback. Very few stories have been told about an African-American woman succeeding economically in America during a time of racial tension. Madame Washington’s company earned profits equally comparable to her white counterparts such as Estee Lauder. Cheryl’s first book was nominated for a 2017 Literary Award with the Schomburg Center in New York City, used in classrooms at Purdue University and referenced in The Oxford Handbook of American Folklore and Folklife Studies. Cheryl has been involved in speaking engagements discussing Chicken Bone Beach, including an event called, Black Girl Beach Day which took place on the sands of historical Chicken Bone Beach, Rowan University, and the Atlantic City Historical Museum. Cheryl has been interviewed by several newspapers such as the Philadelphia Tribune, celebrity strategist and on-air radio personality Dyana Williams of Philadelphia’s Radio One, I Heart Radio, podcasts, and online radio stations. Cheryl is also a professional singer/songwriter, writing songs for her own music projects and for other artists.
