Book of the Quarter

/ Psal121 / Leave a comment

Yes, I am changing the format for promoting the books. There will be one book a quarter. Each quarter I will focus on one book and give you the down and dirty facts about them.

This first book of 2022 is Destiny’s Dilemma.

An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.

It Is A New Season

/ Psal121 / Leave a comment

In Season 4 of TV Talk with the Sistas we talk about some of the new shows that started in 2021. Lots of new shows started in 2021, but probably won’t last. The season is affectionally titled, New To Us because they are new to us and we take on some of he best of what was released. We don’t hold back. We tell you what we think.

There is a format change because we shortened the length of the podcast to 15 minutes. We focus on one show and no longer compare with another. Let us know what you think about it.

Episode 1

This Netflix show is a comedy that brings an African American family to the screen. It adds something new to funny but does it work? The Sistas tell you what they think works and if anything needs to change.

The Journey

These people took a journey to find something they had only heard in folklore. But something compelled them to move forward. The thing was a star and they began to follow it.

It led them far from home.

The Bible tells us they came from the East and were called wise men. Imagine the smartest people in the world at the time were following an astronomical phenomenon. Whatever was at the end of it had to be life changing.

Christian folklore sometimes refers to these wise men as kings using Isaiah 60 and Psalm 72. They also give them a racial identity making one from China, or India or Persia or even Africa.

Regardless of where they were from. They went somewhere. The star led them on a journey that changed everything.
