From Library Journal
Cole, an educator and the first African American woman to head historic Spelman College in Atlanta, exhorts and enlightens readers in her impassioned book, which she refers to as a dialog. Cole provides a brief autobiographical sketch to let readers know "where she is coming from" and to remind them of the ties that bind African American women together. She admonishes readers, especially black "sisters," to take an active stance against the "isms" that continue to plague America: racism, sexism, Eurocentrism, and isolationism. She provides some notable and concrete solutions while allowing readers to maintain the dialog by writing their own conclusions to her urgent message. Written in a lively conversational style, this necessary book is unabashedly recommended.

Cole Speaks to the Heart With Fire in Her Voice!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Conversations: Straight Talk with America's Sister President (Paperback)
The author's authenticity is backed by her life story with which the book begins. This woman has earned the right to be the President of Spellman College, and touch the Bill Cosby's in such a way that they gave an outstanding contribution. After making an outstanding life known to readers, then Dr. Cole uses the rest of the book to strike at the heart of her concerns for living. I couldn't put the book down after I started reading it. She is pensive, she has humor, she grabs you with fire in her voice and love in her heart! ... A leader that anyone would be honored to know as a university president.
