On Her Own Ground:
The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker
Author: A'Lelia Perry Bundles
On Her Own Ground is the first full-scale, definitive biography of the legendary
Madam C. J. Walker was orphaned at seven; she was the daughter of slaves. At fourteen she married, and was widowed by the tender young age of twenty. She earned her living as a washerwoman for a mere salary of $1.50 a week. She discovered a hair care formula for black women. She died in 1919, but Madam Walker, overcame all odds, and built a beauty empire from the ground up. Her wealth was astonishing for a black woman she had done the unexpected. Madam Walker devoted her life to philanthropy and social activism. She formed friendships with great early-twentieth-century political figures such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington.
On Her Own Ground is not only the first biography of one of recent history's most amazing entrepreneurs and philanthropists; it is about a woman who is truly an African American success legend. This biography took two decades of dedicated research; the book is enriched by the author's exclusive access to personal letters, records and never-before-seen photographs from the family collection. Ms. Bundles also showcases the complex relationship between her mother and grandmother. A'Lelia Walker, a celebrated hostess of the Harlem Renaissance and renowned friend to both Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston. In chapters such as "Freedom Baby," "Motherless Child," "Bold Moves" and "Black Metropolis," Ms. Bundles traces her ancestral rise to the top of an international hair care empire that was passed on and run by four generations of Walker women until its sale in 1985. Along the way, On Her Own Ground reveals surprising insights, tells fascinating stories and dispels many misconceptions.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad
About the Author
"Born and raised in Hawaii, Robert T. Kiyosaki co-founded an international education company that operated in seven countries, teaching business to tens of thousands of graduates. Now retired, Robert does what he enjoys most...investing. Concerned about the growing gap between the haves and have nots, Robert created the board game CASHFLOW, which teaches the game of money.
Chapter One:
I had two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. One was highly educated and intelligent; he had a Ph.D. and completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years. He then went on to Stanford University, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University to do his advanced studies, all on full financial scholarships. The other father never finished the eighth grade.
Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes. Yet one struggled financially all his life. The other would become one of the richest men in Hawaii. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities and his church. The other left bills to be paid.
Both men were strong, charismatic and influential. Both men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things. Both men believed strongly in education but did not recommend the same course of study.
If I had had only one dad, I would have had to accept or reject his advice. Having two dads advising me offered me the choice of contrasting points of view; one of a rich man and one of a poor man.
Instead of simply accepting or rejecting one or the other, I found myself thinking more, comparing and then choosing for myself.
The problem was, the rich man was not rich yet and the poor man not yet poor. Both were just starting out on their careers, and both were struggling with money and families. But they had very different points of view about the subject of money.
For example, one dad would say, "The love of money is the root of all evil." The other, "The lack of money is the root of all evil.

(One of the few non-fiction I will review!) If you are new to the web or considering a web-based business, here is the book you need to have! It is a tutorial full of facts! It gives you understandings of Meta Tags, Linking, Signature Files. ICQ, Java Script, Copyrights, Cookies, Web Hosting, How to Draw Business, Affiliate Programs, and so much more! It is not a huge or in depth manual, but it is perfect to cut your teeth on! If you have one of those big "how to manuals", then this one is still great for you. Why search through all those chapters, when the most commonly looked up items are in this small book and easier to refer to? I do not recomment this to the webmasters and webmistresses out there. However, if you are a beginner or just starting to understand what is what, this one is custom made for you ! (Reviewed by Detra Fitch)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR | |

Deborah Maisonet Has earned certification with WebPosition. Webfully Yours" was established in March 1996, and is run, owned and operated by. I started out as an Internet Consultant for the IMail in September 1996. At that time, I knew nothing about computers or the Internet. When I became a consultant for the IMail, they said that you didn't have to have a computer or know the Internet to do business, and you could submit ads and webpages thru the snail mail or fax. So I went out and bought a fax machine, so I'd be sure to never use the computer. Well, I had a computer, but I wasn't about to use it. That would be too hard, I thought. I looked with disdain on my husband and children for using the computer, like it was all that, and, why do we need a printer? Needless to say, I finally got on the computer and the Internet, every day for 2 years, and haven't been off since. I'd come home from my job and stay on the net, surfing until the wee hours every night. I was addicted. Just like many of the other Netpreneurs I read about. Webfully Yours: · Conducts Seminars on "How To Do Business On The Internet" Creating An Online Appearance & What Happens Next" · Designs Websites · Promotes Your Site · Affiliate Programs · Has a new booklet titled "Online And Under The Web" · Is a member of the HTML Writers Guild |

All I Need
Jacquie Bamberg Moore
Good Things Come in Three's? Well that depends on who's doing the counting.
Certainly Randi Young would disagree. Her motto is: "Time waits for no man and neither
does a smart woman." That's because she has two of them who'll wait for her instead.
Misused, abused and certainly confused when it comes to the men in her life. Randi
stumbles upon Mr. Right, but can't fully commit until she ends her sexual escapades
with Mr. Wrong. Don't even bother asking Umi Grayson because she's not interested.
She has a one-track mind and is keeping her eyes on the prize. Which, in her opinion,
is excelling to the top of Corporate America. Nope, she's not interested in anything
except good business and good businessmen--until she discovers otherwise.
Michelle Vaughn, may take the time to tell you what she thinks, but that's because
she has nothing but time. A stay-at-home mother of a sixteen year-old daughter, she
comes face-to-face with some of the harsher realities of life after an unfortunate turn of
events have her looking for love in all the wrong places. In their mid-thirties, Randi, Umi
and Michelle's friendship has lasted since high school, in spite of their very different
personalities. There is no doubt that these women share sister-soul ties, but when a
heated argument erupts within the trio, can their friendship stand the harsh words and
bitter insults that are flung during the intense verbal brawl? Once these women discover
it's the people closest to you that can and will hurt you the most, they must each
examine the validity of their friendship and make a choice whether to forgive or forget.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR | |

Jacquie Bamberg Moore's love for the written word began at a very early age. Her earliest memory of receiving praise for her writing was in the fourth grade. She wrote a short story entitled, "My Thanksgiving Vacation," a vivid tale about a family chasing a frightened turkey through their home. That was the first of many writings she would receive recognition for. | |
