Wake Up: A Despairing Cry to the Black Community is long overdue especially during these turbulent times that we are facing. This book touches on a myriad of topics that we face in the black community that we either refuse to talk about or we push them under the rug. Society has shown us that it is time out for silence and the alarm clock is set on us to wake up in 2017. This book tackles color-ism issues we face (light skinned vs. dark skinned), police brutality, voting, and supporting our own just to name a few.
