Book Description
Will The Real Sista's Please Stand Up, is a book that will minister to the soul, spirit, mind, heart, feelings, and emotions of a woman.

Before reading this book, set the atmosphere with worship and praise. Become intimate with the Lord. Allow him to spiritually love you by impregnating you with his seeds. His word, will, purpose, and destiny will rest in your womb. In the ninth month of the spirit realm, you'll go into labor, pushing out each baby. One by One!!! Relax, he's given you a midwife: the Holy Spirit. Leslie A. Beamon is a native of Paterson, New Jersey. She is an educator in the Paterson Public School system.

Shalom Sistas

Publisher: MennoMedia, Inc.
ISBN: 1513801503
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Like a lot of women, blogger Osheta Moore loved the idea of shalom: God’s dream for a world that is whole, vibrant, and flourishing. But honestly: who's got the time? So one night she whispered a dangerous prayer: God, show me the things that make for peace… In Shalom Sistas, Moore shares what she learned when she challenged herself to study peace in the Bible for forty days. Taking readers through the twelve points of the Shalom Sistas’ Manifesto, Moore experiments with practices of everyday peacemaking and invites readers to do the same. From dropping “love bombs” on a family vacation, to talking to the coach who called her son the n-word, to spreading shalom with a Swiffer, Moore offers bold steps for crossing lines between black and white, suburban and urban, rich and poor. What if a bunch of Jesus-following women catch a vision of a vibrant, whole, flourishing world? What happens when Shalom Sistas unite? Free downloadable study guide available here.

Sista Talk
Author: Rochelle Brock
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9780820449531
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Sista Talk: The Personal and the Pedagogical is an inquiry into the questions of how Black women define their existence in a society which devalues, dehumanizes, and silences their beliefs. Placing herself inside of the research, Rochelle Brock invites the reader on a journey of self-exploration, as she and seven of her Black female students investigate their collective journey toward self-awareness in the attempt to liberate their minds and souls from ideological domination. Throughout, Sista Talk attempts to understand the ways in which this self-exploration informs her pedagogy. Combining Black feminist and Afrocentric Theory with critical pedagogy, this book frames the parameters for an Afrowomanist pedagogy of wholeness for teaching Black students.

Sista, Stanap Strong!
Author: Mikaela Nyman
Publisher: Victoria University Press
ISBN: 1776563948
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Sista, Stanap Strong! is an anthology of new writing from Vanuatu by three generations of women—and the first of its kind. With poetry, fiction, essay, memoir, and song, its narrative arc stretches from the days of blackbirding to Independence in 1980 to Vanuatu's coming of age in 2020. Most of these writers are ni-Vanuatu living in Vanuatu. Some have set down roots in New Zealand, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and Canada. Some were born overseas and have made Vanuatu their home. One is just twenty; another is an octogenarian. The writers in this anthology have chosen to harness the coloniser's language, English, for their own purposes. They are writing against racism, colonialism, misogyny, and sexism. Writing across bloodlines and linguistic boundaries. Professing their love for ancestors, offspring, and language— Bislama, vernacular, and English. What these writers also have in common is a sharp eye for detail, a love of words, a deep connection to Vanuatu, and a willingness to share a glimpse of their world. Includes a foreword by Viran Molisa Trief. Cover art: Juliette Pita
