I AFFIRM/I am who I am/and love who I am

When I opened "Musings of a Mocha Sista" to scan a few poems, I happened to open the book up at "I Affirm." Though the author wrote the poem for "her systagyrls," much of it is relative to self-love within both men and women.

Although I am more of a fiction reader, but love to hear poetry as a spoken word, I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Musings of a Mocha Sista." It is rare that a poet stretches his or her wings, and the author does that with elegance through her poetry, short stories, and essays.

This book is certainly a Bible for loving self and embracing spirituality. The author sums up something that the American Black community needs to live and learn by: love each other/support each other/cause we's be/on da black side chile.

Hats off to a very talented writer! I especially enjoyed the poetry compiled under "Spiritual Break."

Some other notables include: "I'ma Natural Gyrl - made this "chemical" girl ready to convert; "Thank God For She" - a beautiful dedication to a mother; "I Wanna Go Back Part 1 & 2" - brought back memories; "Comfort Zone" - this poem should be every woman's anthem, just cool with being who you are inside and out!

This review is from: Musings of a Mocha Sista (Paperback)

From the eye catching cover to the last page Musings of A Mocha Sista is a simply scrumpious read. Prepare yourself for a smorgasbord of heartfelt writings. Through Mocha, Ms. Osbey captures the true essence of a madrid of emotions. After finishing Musings I was full of hope and possibilty. Last but not least, Mocha's Storyboard is wonderful with a capital W. I felt each character as I read their part. It's one thing to read, but a totally different thing to understand. Thank you Pam for such an enlightening journey.
