Описание: The instant "New York Times "bestseller from the creator of "Grey s Anatomy" and "Scandal" and executive producer of "How to Get Away With Murder" shares how saying YES changed her life. As fun to read as Rhimes s TV series are to watch ("Los Angeles Times"). She s the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and audacious shows on television today. Her iconic characters live boldly and speak their minds. So who would suspect that Shonda Rhimes is an introvert? That she hired a publicist so she could "avoid" public appearances? That she suffered panic attacks before media interviews? With three children at home and three hit television shows, it was easy for Shonda to say she was simply too busy. But in truth, she was also afraid. And then, over Thanksgiving dinner, her sister muttered something that was both a wake up and a call to arms: "You never say yes to anything." Shonda knew she had to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her. This poignant, intimate, and hilarious memoir explores Shonda s life "before" her Year of Yes from her nerdy, book-loving childhood to her devotion to creating television characters who reflected the world she saw around her. The book chronicles her life "after "her Year of Yes had begun when Shonda forced herself out of the house and onto the stage; when she learned to explore, empower, applaud, and love her truest self. Yes. Honest, raw, and revelatory ("The Washington Post"), this wildly candid and compulsively readable book reveals how the mega talented Shonda Rhimes finally achieved badassery worthy of a Shondaland character. Best of all, she can help motivate even the most determined homebody to get out and try something new ("Chicago Tribune")."

Do you ever wonder about the hearts and souls of the men who make up our society? Have you ever been tempted to ask them about their life realities and the secrets that shape their identities today? Men around the world have different stories to tell. Some stories are tragic and others are full drama and maybe enduring love. Whatever the case may be, each one's narrative is unique and important, not one story is greater than the next. This is the cornerstone of our society, the foundation by which our nation stands. But for black men in America, this foundation has appeared faulty and unjust. There has been a Great Divide that now beckons a bridge of togetherness.
What if men could live peaceably without discounting one another, no matter their race, culture, social or economic status?
In this historical documentary, you will travel in time from the 1920's to the year 2019. You will discover what it feels like to be a black man in American society, each generation plowing straight ahead and never giving up on a land that has promised liberty and justice for all. The men in this book are living the lives of modern day pioneers.
You will get to know them on a personally level and quickly understand why the process of plowing should never be minimized. It is what sustains the hope of a grand harvest. This hope requires extreme hard work, steadfastness, and unwavering faith. A faith that invites the unity of all people.
There is a hope of not only creating a positive environment for a dialogue concerning the challenges of unity, but the importance of implementing a "Call to Action" by stepping back into time and identifying the deadly root, then cutting it off once and for all. Healing a nation begins with acknowledgement, repentance and forgiveness.
The Understatement of Plowing is raw and organic. It will give you a close look inside the minds of four black men. You will hear the whispers of their hearts speak, "We just want to be valued as MEN, period." And with that, we trust that hope will not disappoint. I implore you to receive what you will and find a way to not only understand their perspectives, but be compelled to join them on a quest to walk out God's original plan for true diversity and unity in America.

Описание:
Black Indian, searing and raw, is Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club and Alice Walker's The Color Purple meets Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony-only, this isn't fiction. Beautifully rendered and rippling with family dysfunction, secrets, deaths, alcoholism, and old resentments, Shonda Buchanan's memoir is an inspiring story that explores her family's legacy of being African Americans with American Indian roots and how they dealt with not just society's ostracization but the consequences of this dual inheritance.
Buchanan was raised as a Black woman, who grew up hearing cherished stories of her multi-racial heritage, while simultaneously suffering from everything she (and the rest of her family) didn't know. Tracing the arduous migration of Mixed Bloods, or Free People of Color, from the Southeast to the Midwest, Buchanan tells the story of her Michigan tribe-a comedic yet manically depressed family of fierce women, who were everything from caretakers and cornbread makers to poets and witches, and men who were either ignored, protected, imprisoned, or maimed-and how their lives collided over love, failure, fights, and prayer despite a stacked deck of challenges, including addiction and abuse. Ultimately, Buchanan's nomadic people endured a collective identity crisis after years of constantly straddling two, then three, races. The physical, spiritual, and emotional displacement of American Indians who met and married Mixed or Black slaves and indentured servants at America's early crossroads is where this powerful journey begins.
Black Indian doesn't have answers, nor does it aim to represent every American's multi-ethnic experience. Instead, it digs as far down into this one family's history as it can go-sometimes, with a bit of discomfort. But every family has its own truth, and Buchanan's search for hers will resonate with anyone who has wondered "maybe there's more than what I'm being told."
