Dig Mama's Swagger
When I wrote the book, "Dig Mama's Swagger" the
idea that I focused on, is that young girls often look
at celebrities as role models. When in reality, Mama
is one of the most influential role models. Mama is
spiritual, works hard and is well educated. When
women of color read this book, they should see
themselves in the main character. Mama is taking the
time to build character, integrity and achievement in
herself and her daughter. After all, children will
model what they see, more than what they hear.
Every African-American woman should see herself
in at least one of the representations of Mama in this
book. I wonder who her daughter will grow up to be.
