I&amp;#39;m new to all this and I hope to help break some of these barriers. I often find that when stories are told about Africans, African Americans or other cultures, the ones who support the effort are usually not from that nationality. For example, I was one of the few African Americans in the audience when the author of Hotel Rwanda came to speak... I don&amp;#39;t get it.  All that to say even if we are not interested in our own story, it seems only logical to make them available to others who are - just a thought. Thank you for sharing this and I will be purchasing a copy of the book for sure. Always looking for a great read! Continued success to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isunji</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18399355/4054668951020424649/comments/default/4008970344379978382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18399355/4054668951020424649/comments/default/4008970344379978382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://firstborngirl.blogspot.com/2009/10/sometimes-you-just-gotta-have-it-out.html?showComment=1255630686027#c4008970344379978382' title=''/><author><name>The Quiet One</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18311847310327961032</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://firstborngirl.blogspot.com/2009/10/sometimes-you-just-gotta-have-it-out.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18399355.post-4054668951020424649' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18399355/posts/default/4054668951020424649' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
