Never a superstar but always a solid player, former United States Tennis Association president Katrina M. Adams reflects on her career and the lessons she has learned. The author began playing tennis as a six-year-old in Chicago and turned pro in 1987, after two years at Northwestern. She retired as a singles player in 1998 and as a doubles player a couple years later. She went on to coach tennis. In 2003 she became a commentator on the Tennis Channel after asking aloud, “How can you not have a diverse analyst when your No. 1 and 2 players in the world are African American?”
A novel about a real-life madam turned real estate magnate stumbles on style. Hannah Elias certainly has a significant story. She was born Bessie Davis in 1865 to a struggling family in Philadelphia. In this fictional version of her life, she was raped as a child, unjustly imprisoned for theft as a teen, and cast out by her family. She became a sex worker to survive and soon moved up to running bordellos. Moving to New York City, she cultivated upper-class admirers, a goal made easier by her ability to easily pass as white, and parlayed her success into a real estate empire. By the time she was in her 30s, she was one of the richest Black people in the country.
A challenging and important read. Dr. Cleveland journeys to France to explore the mysticism of the Black Madonna while also calling out the “whitemalegod” that has corrupted American Christianity.

She challenges white feminism and asks all of us to embrace the divinity in Black women, which, in essence, will help us embrace the image of God in us all.
