Its chapters are themed based on the hidden struggles, challenges and everyday experiences of black men and women from hundreds and if not thousands of years before.

Black Sister Glory enlightens the minds of its readers to the societal norms and misplaced values that not only seek to demean the black race, but which have found a way to eat at and demolish the Black Sister Pride, the Black Sister Culture, and the Black Sister Values. Each chapter of the book have been carefully scripted with an objective mindset and based solely on “actual facts”, and no work of fictional inclusion. While Black Sister Glory harbors on the problems and deficiencies the black sisters around the globe are constantly met with from years before and into the current times, it also does enough to provide ample solutions to many of these problems. These solutions are practical, enticing, mind-challenging and definitely uplifting to the souls of the black populace as a whole. The book also seeks to debunk untrue societal norms, cast away fabricated ideologies, and subsequently table the black sister in the proper light as the Queen, Mother and Goddess she was created to be and which she truly is. A deeper dive into the book depicts the current state of the black populace in the United States as well as in major countries around the world.Ver livro
