In this one-of-a-kind book, Dr. Rovenia M. Brock—known as Dr. Ro™ to fans of Black Entertainment Television’s Heart & Soul—reveals practical, satisfying ways for African American women to eat healthy, get fit, and overcome weight problems and the health risks that accompany them. From the “Big Ten” myths about miracle weight-loss diets to how eating the right foods can help you live longer and why soul food (if prepared properly) really can be good for you, Dr. Ro shows how many serious illnesses can be largely prevented—and even reversed. And you don’t need Oprah’s salary to do it. Using her own inspiring story and those of many other women as well, Dr. Ro discusses the health, fitness, and even cultural issues that are unique to black women, and outlines a diet and nutrition program to fit every lifestyle.

Take it from author W. James Richardson, there are plenty of Significant African American Achievements and Contributions that you have never heard. He discusses many of them in his educational and uplifting book Hardly Inferior Nor a Burden to America, where he opens a new door to teaching African American history. Readers will enjoy his fresh approach on the events and people that have been overlooked in traditional history books. His book is rich with chapters that acknowledge African American achievements and reveal that several former U.S. presidents had black ancestry. Hardly Inferior serves as a prideful resource for African Americans and is an enlightenment for all Americans. This is Richardson’s first published non-fiction work. He is also the author of four race-themed novels. His book The Ballroom Dancing Capers was adapted into a stage play, Misbegotten is being promoted for a movie, and his novel The Ghost of Emmett Till is a perennial favorite with readers. His novels can be reviewed and purchased at his website
