Good Afternoon, It's great to be in community with you. My name is Nicole Carr and I'm an Atlanta-based journalist, journalism professor and author of the forthcoming book The Price of Exclusion: The Pursuit of Healthcare in a Segregated Nation (HarperCollins June 2026). This is my first book, and it's taken me on a journey through the archives of our medical schools at home and abroad, as well as family history in Jamaica, the U.S., Canada and Europe. We released the cover on Black Friday, and I'd love for you to check out the description and cover below. If this sounds like a read you'd like, I'd appreciate your support with pre-order…

I been checking out this DVD. A scene from it as follows http://www.evtv1.com/player.aspx?itemnum=5036 Enjoyed this performance more than the one by Blatherin Sir Larry (Ole Blackface) even though it was later in Marshall's life, he had an inferior cast, and he was wearing a lavender costume that made him look like Maya Angelou with a mustache (I think the costumer went for "classical" costuming. I think here William Marshall, being black, did not have to act black and just had to sit back and blow. Them lines by the way are ridiculous and reduced several members of the cast to chewing the scenery. Face it--nobody talks like that anymore (and the…

I watched Tyson's Undisputed Truth on HBO the other night. I did not find it entertaining, in fact I could not finish watching it. The anecdotes were not funny to me. The stories were rather tragic and sad. I know Mike is getting paid and that is great, but It seems like Iron Mike is being exploited and I don't particularly care for that.

Waiting to Exhale by Terry McMillan is on President Obama’s Bookshelf. What other Black author's books can you find?

I almost bought the book, Love Warrior, before I realized that I have no interest in these types of books :-) The video is from a page on Amazon dedicated to this book The page was well designed and I took notes. While I don't have access to an Orpah like pitch person, I'm not sure it matter very much any more. When Oprah's book club was at its peak, the selection for her book club was an eagerly anticipated event followed by a boatload of media attention. Today, not so much attention is paid the selection. In fact, I discovered this by accident: Another website was interested in me replacing the widget on their website, with an AALBC.com widget. Their widg…

I've uploaded 11 of the 20 finalists readings. I posted my favorite four reading on my blog.

My e-book has gone to press and will soon be available for downloading on line. Hard copies will also be for sale. This is the new and improved version of The Only One, my novel about an interracial love triangle that will put the advice of self-appointed relationship guru, Steve Harvey, to shame. It might also make prudes blush. This is not "your grandfather's book". It's your grandmother's hot novel. What this quick-read also has going for it, is that it's a delicious slice of black life, serving up conflicted characters with appetites for lust and cravings for love. Watch for more details on how to check out this upcoming release!

Found on Instagram. Now this is what I'm talking about! Wahida Clark gets it!

The following quote was from the article, “How Google may be jeopardizing African-American literature websites”; which was published yesterday on the The Outline website: Ouch! The author of the article, wrote what I thought was an important article on a subject that has gotten virtually no coverage outside of what I have written, so despite the scathing critique, that I've shared above, I'm glad the article was written. However, the paragraph, quoted above, was over the top. The site does not look like it was developed in the late 1990's indeed none of the technologies the site deployed were available in the 1990. Now I'd accept the site…

Good evening, I wanted to bring attention to what many may not know, which is there is a black-owned Alabama football publication called, Touchdown Alabama Magazine that has been in operation for over 10 years. If you know the demographics of Alabama football fans, you'd understand how important this is for black culture to know about it as well as why the support is needed from not just Alabama football fans, but black Alabama football fans as well. If you're interested in featuring the site on here as you have others, please follow on Twitter @TDAlabamaMag and we will respond and see how we can connect and collaborate. IN the meantime, take a lo…

Some guys have man caves, but I don't spend a lot of time doing the things one would do in one. There are a lot of stories in this photo. It really it tells me how much technology has improved in 20 years. I still use the same desk. It is probably the only thing I still use from back then. The room is only about 9 x 12. Technically one of three bedrooms in the apartment I rented in NYC right out of grad school.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce my latest book, RESTED WATERS. RESTED WATERS is the haunting story of Janay Tucker, a young woman who is forced to reflect back on her past and the memories of her tumultuous childhood when she receives notice of her incarcerated father’s death. Rehashing history through the eyes of her paternal grandfather, James Tucker, Janay is made to flash back to a past with an abusive mother who dies a violent death, a father imprisoned for the crime, and the family and friends left to help rebuild her future. Through a tapestry of human encounters, Rested Waters delves into the emotions and experiences of love and turmoi…

I was just asked "What's the Buzz on Sapphire's latest novel The Kid" I just seem to remember it falling flat. I read through the reviews on Amazon - something I never do as I don't know the reviewers and I know many are written to artificially slam (haters) or praise a book (author writing their own reviews). True to form the most of the reviews were 1 star or 5 star. Did anyone here read the book? What did you think? The Kid [Penguin July, 2011] Fifteen years after the publication of Push, one year after the Academy Award-winning film adaptation, Sapphire gives voice to Precious's son, Abdul.

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN’S BOOK FAIR The 21st Annual African American Children's Book Fair will be held on Saturday, February 9, 2013, 1:00-3:00PM, Community College of Philadelphia, 17th Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, PA. The event is free and opened to the public. The Book Fair started out on a cold frosty day at John Wanamaker Department Store. Sounds like the beginning of a novel. But today is it one of the oldest and largest single day events for African American Children's Books in the region. On average over 3,500 people attend the event each year. With a reported double digit illiteracy rate in the region, our success is due to the fact tha…

Read Publishers Weekly's entire article and coverage of BEA (Book Expo America), which is the country's largest trade show for the publishing industry. ABA CEO Oren Teicher said that for the sixth year in a row the number of independent bookstores has grown. ABA added 48 members, for a total of 1,712, up from a core membership of 1,401 in 2009. The total number of locations also grew to 2,227, from 1,651 in 2009. In his presentation on the state of the e-book market, Jonathan Stolper, senior v-p of Nielsen’s U.S. book business, noted that according to Nielsen’s PubTrack Digital report, which tracks e-book sales from more than 30 top publishers (for more on PubTrack Digita…

A Mystery novel is defined as one that deals with a puzzling crime, like murder. The crime seems impossible to solve. When the novel is written with suspense it is hard to put the book down once one begins. I read mystery novels because I enjoy the thrill of trying to guess who is responsible for the crimes. I also enjoy writing mysteries. I am interested in having my new novel "A Moving Screen" reviewed. It was published July 22, 2016 in paperback and is also available on amazon.com as an e-book. In this novel a homicide detective, believing he's spotted a serial juke;s M.O., teams up with a private eye pal to put a stop to the murders. The ending is extraordinary with …

6.4.09: THE GHETTOHEAT MOVEMENT Courageously creating my independent publishing company, GHETTOHEAT® on June 4, 2003, my main objective was to solely become an entrepreneur, self-publish my poetry/prose book (proudly titled after the company), and control the marketing, sales and distribution of my works; with hopes of obtaining other talented authors in time. That initial concept quickly changed during the second week of my first book tour in September 2003. Being a new writer who was beyond ecstatic to present GHETTOHEAT® to any and all readers, I met this teenaged girl in Philadelphia during my book signing at Borders Express; inside the Gallery Mall.…

When Monique Bryant falls from grace, she falls hard. Formerly, a good girl with high aspirations to be a star in corporate America, things do not turn out as planned and it is all downhill from there. Seemingly unable to halt her descent into the life of exotic dancing and drugs, Monique decides to enjoy her ride down the highway to hell! But when the church refuses to accept her back and a family crisis threatens to rob her of what little dignity she has left, what she finds out is that it is her against the world. Knocked down, bowled over and trampled by life, Monique is not one to give up. Becoming a true believer in "that which does not kill me makes me stronger", M…
