I was elated to receive Cornbread Fish and Collard Greens. I was awe struck by the book, it is huge, the book cover is captivating but that is only the beginning. Once you open it up and begin to read you are immediately transported to the life of the writer. And whats makes so incredible is that there are so many different writers with varying viewpoints. I have cried with some of the stories. Have been amazed with others. Have simply admired the voice of the writers! This is indeed a true collection piece in this current day and age as we as a Global Family affected by HIV and AIDS are living longer with the virus. This is a MUST-READ for everyone young and old, everywhere around the globe.
This is a powerful anthology, one that gives voice to real people living with HIV. Men, women, Black and White, gay and straight, these words are living proof that empowerment comes from within. Abif has worked painstakingly hard to collect these words of wisdom, hope, and solidarity. This is a book to be shared with any and everyone who has been affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis--and that's all of us!
I'm so blessed to be part of such a wonderful, positive and powerful work. This is a monumental work from all that have contributed. Thanks once again for including me. Be blessed!
