Book Description
You are vibrant and intelligent and wish to thrive, aka, slay in life! This is why I wrote this book; to inspire people like myself who crave wisdom from different cultures. The Igbo ethnic group can be found in Nigeria and their proverbs/sayings are motivational to say the least. I chose to use them because of my Igbo lineage and because they are straightforward and fun to interpret. There is no reason for wise sayings to be a thing of the past. It's treacherous out here, of course we need wisdom today. So let's go ahead and make it happen!

She Came to Slay
Author: Erica Armstrong Dunbar
Publisher: 37 Ink
ISBN: 1982139595
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
In the bestselling tradition of The Notorious RBG comes a lively, informative, and illustrated tribute to one of the most exceptional women in American history—Harriet Tubman—a heroine whose fearlessness and activism still resonate today. Harriet Tubman is best known as one of the most famous conductors on the Underground Railroad. As a leading abolitionist, her bravery and selflessness has inspired generations in the continuing struggle for civil rights. Now, National Book Award nominee Erica Armstrong Dunbar presents a fresh take on this American icon blending traditional biography, illustrations, photos, and engaging sidebars that illuminate the life of Tubman as never before. Not only did Tubman help liberate hundreds of slaves, she was the first woman to lead an armed expedition during the Civil War, worked as a spy for the Union Army, was a fierce suffragist, and was an advocate for the aged. She Came to Slay reveals the many complexities and varied accomplishments of one of our nation’s true heroes and offers an accessible and modern interpretation of Tubman’s life that is both informative and engaging. Filled with rare outtakes of commentary, an expansive timeline of Tubman’s life, photos (both new and those in public domain), commissioned illustrations, and sections including “Harriet By the Numbers” (number of times she went back down south, approximately how many people she rescued, the bounty on her head) and “Harriet’s Homies” (those who supported her over the years), She Came to Slay is a stunning and powerful mix of pop culture and scholarship and proves that Harriet Tubman is well deserving of her permanent place in our nation’s history.
