Shaun Powell, Souled Out? That’s the question author Shaun Powell poses and ultimately answers with regard to the nature of blacks’ participation in American sports. Neither blacks nor whites—athletes, coaches, administrators, owners, media, parents, and yes, even fans—are without blame for race still being an issue in the athletic arena. And Powell, perhaps like you, is fed up with the excuses. Why, with tremendous models like Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Venus and Serena Williams, and Candace Parker, is black female participation not more encouraged across a wide array of sports? Will more blacks break through the glass ceiling in coaching and sports management positions to achieve strong decision-making roles? Click For More Info! 
Michelle Richards, a local Toronto Author, has released Sweet & Sour Honey, her second novel. In the spirit of her first novel, It Could Never Happen to Me, Ms. Richards's sophomore release is a coming-of-age story in which characters struggle with tougher subject matter than can be found in most teen novels. Sweet & Sour Honey chronicles the first love of Sheneil, a sixteen-year-old who must navigate not only the complexities that a first love entails, but also the unforeseen factors that could threaten her first love. Ms. Richards writes teen fiction with mature themes because of a distinct shortage of literature that portrays teenagers as perceptive, emotionally-aware people, as well as a shortage of literature that contains ethnically-diverse teenaged protagonists: "I noticed that very few books for teenagers had non-Caucasian main characters, and that many of the characters had lives that revolved exclusively around clothes, gossip, and the prom. I want to write books that embrace the premise that all teenagers are complex beings who can experience strong emotions and are able to act accordingly." She says. Sweet & Sour Honey, as well as It Could Never Happen to Me, is available at select book retailers throughout the GTA ? for a complete list of retailers, visit Page Three Publishing at www.pagethreebooks.com.

Written by Deborah Willis, recipient of a MacArthur “genius award” for her services in archiving African-American photography, BLACK contains over 500 photographs in it’s 320 pages, spanning the whole of the 20th-century. “I thought about photographers’ works that focus on black life, photographs that celebrate and tell a story about everyday life,” said Deborah Willis, “This book is one story—our story—told through photographic imagery..” The pictures in the book each tell a different story of everyday life in rural and urban Black communities. Arranged thematically, there are chapters on Children, Everyday Life, Work, The Arts, Beauty, Saturday Night, Sunday Morning, Sports, Portraits, Spirituality, and Celebration. “Looking at photographs produced in the 1930s next to photographs made in 2003, I began to see linkages on the Saturday night/Sunday morning theme,” said Willis, “—Saturday mornings of leisure time, shopping, going to the beauty salons and barber shops; Saturday nights of dancing, partying, playing cards; and familiar Sunday morning baptismal services, ministers at the pulpit, fancy hats, and proud families.” By visually telling her story, Willis encourages readers to consider the shared experiences of black women and men, many of whom had their own businesses and cottage industries.
