Sistah's Blog

Welcome to Sistah's Book Choice.  Each month, I select books by some amazing author's that I recommend to my audience and subscribers to purchase and read.  Some of the books may be entertaining, inspiration, and self help books.  Most important these are my top 10 for the month of January where the title's, book cover, or my favorite authors list made my recommended book list. Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly Captivated by Love :  Brenda Jackson Though I Stumble:  Kim Cash Tate One Spark of Magic : Iris Boling Jezebel's Revenge: Jacqueline Thomas Copycat : Kimberly Lawson Roby Acceptable Losses:  Nia Forrester The Perfect Deception: Lutisha Lovely Knit Together:  Vivian Kay When Troubles Come: Tiffany L. Warren Never Trust a Stranger: Mary Monroe Good Behavior:  Delaney Diamond All book cover photo's are courtesy of Amazon to give readers a picture of the novels that made the top ten list. 

Hidden Figures is truly an inspiring story about some amazing black women who were apart of NASA Space program. These women are the powerful mathematicians who helped put men in space.    Before seeing this movie, I was not even aware of any of these women Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan.  The movie also represented an unspoken sisterhood between black women that was truly heartfelt. The roles were played by three phenomenally talented women Taraji P. Henson played Katherine G. Johnson, Janelle Monae played Mary Jackson, and Octavia Spencer played Dorothy Vaughan.  These sister's brought life to the characters with honor.  Photo credits:  Theodore Melfi These women endured the ugliness of racism, segregation, and inequality.  However, Katherine, Mary, and Dorothy did not allow these barriers to stop them.  It was hard being a black woman during that time period.  These ladies are truly our Hidden Heroes because they opened doors for more women of color

Happy New Year everyone.  Welcome to 2017! It's a new year and a great opportunity for you to pursue your dreams, write a book, walk into your purpose, and forgive others so that you can be blessed.  Are you ready to jump into your dreams and make them real in 2017?  Take the leap of faith and trust your passion and your heart.  It's a new year and it's time to live your life to the fullest.  Are you ready? I sat down thinking about my New Year Aspirations for Sistah's Voice Blog and what I like to accomplish in 2017.  I thought about how I can have a powerful impact using my platform to have a real impact.  My goal for Sistah's Voice is to have a positive impact on people's lives that will be informative, empowering, entertaining, and inspirational.  Did you think about what type of impact will you have on someone's life in 2017?   Now that would truly be an inspiration that will make the heart smile.  Let's not make New Year's resolutions
