I AM WOMAN: Expressions of Black Womanhood in America
https://square.link/u/b2Ozetwp
I AM WOMAN: Expressions of Black Womanhood in America reaches back to Isabel de Olvera who, in 1600, declared herself free from marriage and slavery in a sworn affidavit before an expedition to New Mexico. It stretches forward to the deeply hopeful inauguration of Kamala Harris Vice President of the United States of America in 2021. I AM WOMAN is a triumphant response to centuries of oppression, neglect and abuse. It’s a tribute to the women in America who are not seen, heard, honored or appreciated, yet are always relied upon to support every layer of society. This collection of images and words is an expression of how Black Women in America see themselves. Who they are as individuals in private, in public, as a community and as givers and receivers of ancestral grace.

We all want what we want when we want it. What happens when we don’t get what we’ve been hoping and praying for by a certain age in life?
Desert of Solitude: Refreshed by Grace is for those of us who have achieved nothing, something or a great deal but are no closer to that “one thing” we most desire. What do you think you’re missing? What do you believe will complete your existence? Whatever “it” is doesn’t matter. You are enough for your life.
Desert of Solitude follows the journey of a forty-something year old woman as she shakes herself loose of youthful ideals, and releases herself from expectations formed by family, culture and society. It’s an exploration of her determination to view her life from a position of abundant grace rather than disappointed hopes as she rediscovers satisfaction in God’s grace and His provision in the valleys of life.

https://square.link/u/l9N8jCCl
ALONE | ALL In One: A Solitary Journey is very much autobiographical and firmly rooted in the churning uncertainties and life pivots in the twilight of life.
What if I AM “The One?” What if I am the person I’ve been waiting for?
Are you ready to embrace the beauty of solitude and embark on a transformative journey of reflective introspection?
In Alone | All In One: A Solitary Journey, LaShawnda Jones navigates the world as a solo traveler seeking personal freedom and fullness. Her collection of poetry and prose explores mid-life pivots and transitions from changing perspectives and broadening understandings. It explores the beginning of seeing herself as embodying everything needed for a fulfilling life on her own. Fully present, engaging with joy and purpose, wherever she is.
With raw honesty and vulnerability, LaShawnda delves into the complexities of love, hope, loneliness, and grief. She boldly writes about the need to honor and love yourself fully without relying on others for validation.
Alone | All In One is a testament to the benefits of self-acceptance, reflection, healing, and choosing to experience beauty in every stage of life as we are.
“I exist. I Am. I am all I need. I AM ALL IN ONE. I AM HERE.”
