I am capable
I have been taught that it is bad manners to brag about what you can do or what you are good at. This is different because we are talking about skills we have developed over decades. We have spent years learning new things and putting them into practice. We are very capable.

Destiny 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.

This Was Really Interesting
I hope it gets a second season cause I want to know what happens. Season 1 ends with a big ol cliff hanger which is dangerous on any of these streaming services.
AND I won’t get to talk about this one on the podcast cause Regina is not into sci-fi or fantasy.
The Wheel of Time is a series currently on Amazon. The story is complex and it starts a little slow for me. The characters are as complex as their relationships with each other, a little annoying and sometimes telegraphing the story. But who cares. It is interesting. It is a multiracial cast with all types of ups and down.
I recommend it.
Is It Really Pretty?
Romance, beautiful wardrobe, and cheeky language makes a whole lot of fun and gives everyone something to talk about. What are the Sistas talking about? Listen as they tell you if Bridgerton is worth the trip.

Affirmation
In 2022 I am going to own the affirmation.
For the month of January as we venture into new things and new possibilities I will remind myself that I am capable. That means I have the ability, fitness and quality necessary to achieve the things God sets before me. I don’t do it in my own power, but in His.
In 2022 find what all you are capable of accomplishing.
Book of the Quarter
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.

Happy January
It Is A New Season
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.
