Hi Everyone. I recently published a book about mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual stoicism of the African diaspora. There are 65 poems/letters, describing experiences of resilience and wrestling with all elements of health, while showing admiration and respect to elders. I am interested in a book review.

Yes, my apologies. Black Stoicism is a poetic way of clarifying the highest virtue. It's an attempt to expound on the in-depth range of emotions the Black community possesses. Other cultures' inability to see outside of their hatred and ignorance fuels their blindness and their empty-headed perspectives to view the Black community as immune to pain. Because of our determination and spirits, I attempt to clarify Stoicism's meaning by expanding on how the Black community re-shapes any terminology and language. The Black community endures much deeper emotional, physical, spiritual, and psychological agony; we provide new meaning to words and definitions. Being Black in the Black community is the highest virtue.
Here is an excerpt.
Endurance
Purchased us for jail cells
Purchased us for stem cells
Purchased us for plant cells
Sell us your addictions
Sell us your deceptions
Sell us your convictions
Farewell to your blackmail
Knock over your cocktail
Staring at your marcel
Say hello
Black-owned businesses
Say hello
Black millionaires
Say hello
Educated black women
Say hello
First Black President
Our journey is hell
But we know our story
Our souls refined
We know how to feel
Being Black is lovely
Being Black is beautiful
Being Black is joyful Being
Black is amazing
We are the definition
