Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! What can I say about this book? The author gives you slang/ that if you are not familiar with, you may easily write it off. However the language of African Americans who speak broken English, because English is an adaption of codes, and words spoken in our community. The author displays quite well the position of African American life.

The betterment of what education can do. The struggles of living between two worlds. The plight of being a dark skinned Black Woman. Those who desire not to be boxed in. Effortlessly Echo Brown’s words hit me, stay “lifted, and spirited”. This book had me in my feelings. I’m saddened to have learned of the book, after her passing.

Now I believe, more than ever before in Unlimited-ability. I won’t spoil it for you. I’ll just say, It’s inside us all waiting, and singing its tune. If we are listening. In the words of a great leader, “you must be like a woman with your hair on fire, searching for a lake”~Dr. Michael Beckwith

A very harrowing story. Beautifully told. This book has inspired me. “To be that woman. Whose hair is on fire searching for a lake”. And if you can’t understand what I’m saying, just read the book and see for yourself.

To Echo Brown: May you rest well. Your words, your stories, your books live on. Forever in our hearts. Well Done.
