Wisdom from M's: Lessons Learned from Moms, Mentors and Mistakes

by Nicole Newman

We all know that words can be used to hurt or used to heal. I have witnessed words that forever scared a child all the way into adulthood or transformed thinking for an entire lifetime that affected multiple generations. I recently read "The word "no" is heard with great frequency in our lives. There are signs all over our landscape with messages that read "no smoking", " no parking" or "no skateboards". The word "no" is just a fact of life for us all." I was not raised to accept no. My follow-up was "Why Not". My mother took the time to explain but sometimes the answer would be "Life is not fair". This book is dedicated to my mom and the many mentors and writers who used the power of their words to allow me to dream bigger dreams that someday this little girl from West Philadelphia could make a mark on this world to change the answer of "Life is not fair", to an answer that says "life is fair" regardless of economic status, gender, race, creed, color or religion In sha Allah
