Encouragement, Support and Mentoring to Women via Media Outlets
Congratulations on an EXCELLENT book
Dear Ms. Aginah,
My husband gave me your book at 6:45 AM this morning (5/31/08) and I finished reading it at 1:00 PM (5/31/08) and it took me that long because I had to stop reading to take my daughter to get her hair done.
I'm simply writing to tell you that your story had a phenomenal impact on me and truly resonated because of some of the choices that I, myself have made, as well as my mother, but have decided that I will stop the generational curse to be passed down to my only daughter. Your decision to be frank and sincere about your own situations will only assist in more women dealing with root issues as opposed to outcomes.
Your strength, and determination in dealing with your daughter as well as the other situations in your life, remind me of so many black women, who keep going, in spite of. Also, two of my children attended Girard College for a season, the locations and events were only "across the bridge."
Lastly, as I was reading, I did come across several typo's that although didn't take away from the content.
Again, congratulations on an EXCELLENT, book.

A Comments from one of our readers:
Thank you for allowing a platform of expression for the Home Girl, CEO.
You and your vision are both absolutely FABULOUS!
As far As my home based business, I haven't completely taking the plunge but, I'm 90% there!
Here's my thing:
I can no longer fall victim to a work place that has not set up ample respect for the single mom! My last job wanted me to work from 4pm-1am. In my opinion, they were telling me to forget about my family, and forget about having a life and let someone else raise your child!
To me, that's truly unacceptable as well as, on the other hand, motivating.
I can't continue to do the same thing and get the same results. I think they call that "insanity", right!
For me, that was a serious wake up call. So now, I'm working through this thing called "fear" and it's been a douzie! However, I plan to succeed at all cost.
I have too! I'm not giving myself any other option and you shouldn't either.
Always remember that we come from a background of strong survivors that would do anything for the price of freedom, even risk loosing their lives.
So , on that note, lets expect to succeed. Let's plan, organize, and execute! Let's be that person that we are waiting to show up! Let's do the do! Let's make a committment to hold each other accountable for success. I'll take the stand first.
