Thank you, Mel. You have made my day.

I also believe "all art is political" ; so in the content I would expect to read about a change agent too.

 

Yes, the text next to each picture gives ingredients, process, and an anecdote that includes a quote from my mother or a story that illustrates not only her philosophy about food, but, of course, about life.

 

From the beginning, I make it clear that it is not a cookbook or a how to book, but a book that will inspire some to create their own culinary art, others to enjoy the art when they frame the perforated large format prints on their wall, and everyone to be touched by my mother's story. It is a companion book to the first book, An Extraordinary Life: Josephine E. Jones.

 

The talented illustrator has created an elegant cover that is a work of art, just like the contents of the book.

 

Now if I can get the emergency loan-grant to pay the publicist, I won't have to attempt to do it myself.

 

Thanks again.

Hello, Mel

 

Gladys Mae West is another Hidden Figure. She reminds me of my mother. Quite a story.

 

I read your reply earlier, but I Just found this. Thank you. Having another example is helpful.

 

I will refer to your questions to create the promotion for my next book, The Culinary Art Portfolio of Josephine E. Jones. 

I have mostly finished the text. It just needs one more revision before I send it to the developmental editor.

 

 

What I came up before asking your questions was this:

 

The Culinary Art Portfolio of Josephine E. Jones with Ready-to-Frame prints, where food and art intersect.

 

This is my revision after using your questions. Please let me know if I'm on the right track.

 

Who, Why, and How: 

 

The Culinary Art Portfolio of Josephine E. Jones with Ready-to-Frame prints 

The first black woman in management at a Fortune 500 company in 1967, who overcame racism, sexism, and 

classism, to create food that looked too good to eat.
