Until's Book of the Week

Amanda Seales . We've come to know her as hilariously courageous, sweet with a no non-sense attitude. A very strong personality, with an intellect that will cut you deep. She still comes off as your friend in your head home girl. So let's speak about  her new book called "Small Doses" .  Small Doses is a non wrapped gift because she gives it to you straight with no chaser. But that's not to say she isn't considerate as to how you maybe affected, this is why she gives you what you need to know in "Small Doses" . Deliciously sassy when she visits Hip Hop, Fashion and Hair. But  intellectually pungent when it comes to Culture, our History, Shades of Our Sista's and more. Comfortably funny when sharing things we all have in common.   Amanda is blunt with sharp pieces of some of her own experiences she slides in to get her point clear across on whatever subject she's speaking on. If you have a way that you feel about her we suggest you ...

BLEND by Mashonda Tifrere @mashondatifrere  Seriously, where was this book when my husband and I got together 21 years ago. In this book "BLEND" Mashonda is honest, transparent and true. She understands something so profoundly that many of us forget in a situation like this. . . It's all about the children. Let's be clear, things aren't always easy but that doesn't mean you have to give in, give up, or show out. But what it does mean, is for you to put your grown woman underwear on, roll up your sleeves to see what you gotta do, how to do, understand why you do and do it. In this book.  Mashonda took her time to process the situation, took her time to heal, get help on how and nurtured herself through the process and understood that though in pain, it was not about her, it was about her child and how she could make life an easy transition for him in regard to her divorce, the other woman becoming a permanent staple in his other side of life and more....

Until's Book of the Week   is a one, close to (2) minute radio segment and newspaper column that is highly respected and has been called interesting and illuminating by many.  Un til's Book of the Week  is not a review, it is merely a platform that was created by me,  Quanda R. Graves  known as Author & Poet  Until  to give light to wonderful authors; new, independent and established.  I share books that I find enlightening,helpful, informative, inspirational, fun, joyously entertaining, vital, surprising and much more.  Until's Book of the Wee k also includes random trivia questions that come with prizes to excite and encourage readers, writers, listeners and others to participate, learn, and always have something to look forward to and share with others. Until's Book of the Week  provides a warm, diverting and intelligent approach to informing audiences of books they may have never encountered ...

Inspiring. Motivating. Enlightening. Frustratingly condescending. Aggressive and truth-spilling but audaciously candid. If I'm being honest, his mind is intriguing, filled with usable information, incredible game, if you are detail oriented and smart enough to take what he gives. Dame Dash is harsh in pushing you to get up off your tale to find what you're good at and make it work for you so you no longer have to work for someone else. Dame, as we've grown to know him as this loud, at times obnoxious dude, with a swanky attitude who often time shares with us his rancorous rants that leaves us sometimes searching and wondering through it all, had great massive points, amazing advice and business modules to back up who he is in this book. One thing is clear, you can't take that man's hustle away. I mean, even the book has ad's for his businesses in them. While I've seen that before by Yolanda Bozant, it just shows that business is always on his mind. In ...

Hey UBOW Readers!  You know it's Until with your book of the week. I believe every now and again, you need to be motivated. You could use a pick me up. A constant reiteration of what you already know but you've gone too far in the many situations of life to remember just all that you've acquired. So, those light bulb tidbits, reigniting sparks are just what you need to get you back on track. We can all use that help, and that's what Wisdom Nuggets did for me. Wisdom Nuggets by Charlene E. Green rejuvenated my mind to return back to its original way of thinking. It is no secret that life can weigh you down and obviously Charlene , knows about this first hand to make it her mission to inspire you with what you need to remember, what you need to learn, provide you to think differently, better yet change your approach to life. Reinvention.  Charlene shares "Wisdom Nuggets" about self love and relationships, goals, dreams and faith. In this golden glo...

Hey everyone! It's been a minute because I've been on hiatus. The show, has been on hiatus too, and I've currently been working on other things; which you will see manifest shortly. So, I have just recently started a new job and I'm close to ten (10) months in and it has been a true roller coaster ride. I have learned that while you can be talented, smart and obtain a wealth of information as well as very resourceful, that doesn't necessarily mean that you're fit to lead or train. I also learned that everyone has a different way of communicating (or can't) at all. I will admit that the encounters on this job though I have met before, it hasn't, however been met in this way. This is the first job that I've met people who are very warn, tired and now in coasting mode along with many stresses that affect their everyday, and because of that, the office isn't what it should be. I can say that I'm blessed because out of all of the jobs I've h...

Hey Yall!!! It's Until........  You know, with Until's Book of the Week. This is a "Special Editon" because it's about helping our parents feel better about parenting. This book is called "Shame Proof Parenting" by parenting coach Mercedes Samudio. How do you know you're getting the parenting thing right? You're questioning yourself because your preschooler is throwing tantrums, your tween receives a crushing text message from her friend or your teenager starts to act out in rebellion. What do you do? You worry your reaction is just going to make everything worse, drive a wedge between you and your child. And to add insult to injury your mother will call and say, "I told you so". You're finding that typical parenting advice doesn't help, either. You find that your child's behavior is still a problem, while you're sinking in self-doubt. Well, you're not alone. " Shame Proof Parenting" is ...
