A gift for women of all ages, it reminds women that we are queens, and, above all, human beings who need to first heal and learn how to love ourselves unconditionally before we can ever open up, love others, attempt to liberate, or give back to the nation. A powerful and emotionally charged book that also Includes recommended reading, a list of organizations and websites, and a guide to historically black colleges and universities. 

 *** WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ***

"An ambitious...guide to personal growth and fulfillment through the practice of loving one's self. Walker touches upon topics as diverse as respecting your elders and loving your hair, devoting each chapter to a single principle. Walker often seems to be thinking out loud, as if she's writing a journal entry or letter to a close friend...The very completion of this 101-chapter volume is no small feat and should serve as an inspiration to aspiring writers."

--Black Issues Book Review

    

"101 Ways Black Women Can Learn To Love Themselves by Jamie Walker is an impressively practical self-help guide written especially to aid black women to get in touch with their spiritual side, experience a zest for life, and achieve a personal liberation. Walker articulately and persuasively takes the position that true healing does not come overnight, but rather it gradually evolves over time, once we learn not to look outward for validation and approval, and only when we embrace the love of God. 101 Ways is definitely recommended as being an unusually powerful, emotionally charged, and uplifting personal improvement and self-help guide."

--Midwest Book Review

 "As a black woman on her own personal journey, I found this book to be powerful, very emotional, and moving to read. I felt that the author, at times, was speaking directly to me, providing the encouragement and strength that I need as I move forward into new horizons. Jamie Walker offers a book that with an open heart, many can and will find healing. As a young black woman, I am thankful Ms. Walker heeded the call and wrote a book that all black women, regardless of age should read."

--Rawsistaz Book Reviewers

        

"I believe this is a necessary and encouraging message that Jamie is sending out to Black women, especially our young black women. Most of us didn't tap into our inner selves until we had experienced numerous trials and tribulations in our lives. We didn't see the value in the valley. This  is definitely a book I will add to my collection."

--Joy Parham; Librarian Assistant; UC Merced  

 

"Jamie Walker is insightful and wise way beyond her years. A page turner would not describe the inability to put this book down! There is wit and humor in every single passage! No Black woman's bookshelf should be without this manual of self worth and respect. Though apparently geared toward Black women, it is useful for any woman who will open her mind to learning about herself and growing."--Venus Noble, Social Worker/Activist; Oakland, California

 

“Finally! Everything a woman needs is in one book!"

--Lanette Everett, Business Counselor            

"An excellent resource!"--Esther Cooper Jackson, co-founder of Freedomways magazine

New and Selected Poems

In Signifyin’ Me: New and Selected Poems, Jamie Walker, noted journalist and poet, celebrates the Black women's literary tradition, a tradition comprised of what feminist scholar Patricia Hill Collins calls "a legacy of struggle" and "culture of resistance." Walker tackles issues of internalized racism and sexism. Her work not only explores the inextricable link between gender, race, and class, but also women's politics and spirituality. Signifyin' Me is a deeply empowering book that is both a testimony to the spirit and passion of the soul.

“If those of us who made the revolutions of the 60s and 70s ever began to worry about what happened to our work, all we’d need to do is read these poems by Jamie Walker. Here are the lessons and the legacies craftily, cunningly refurbished from a warm and resplendent soul not afraid to strut her stuff.”

—AKASHA GLORIA HULL, Writer-Poet-Professor

“Jamie’s poetry signifies a fresh voice in African American women’s poetry—a voice that honors those before her. Yet, her bold self moves forward to (re)create her own poignant vision.”
