Table of ContentsReviewsWe, in early childhood education, understand the power of storytelling and in this book, the authors use that power to tell their stories-stories so familiar to many of us-of overcoming odds and challenges to victory and success. Iyanla Vanzant says, ""It's important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story, you free yourself and give other people permission to acknowledge their own story."" This book will do just that-encourage and support others to tell their stories and move towards healing, and celebration. These women are not asking for a seat at the table-that implies someone else's ownership of the table-they are building a table and inviting us all to it. -Ann McClain Terrell, NAEYC Governing Board Past President & Author of Graceful Leadership in Early Childhood Education Much appreciation to Alissa Mwenelupembe and the other brave women who have shared their poignant stories for this important book. It is long past time for leaders of color with strong voices, powerful stories and new thinking to be heard. Their stories call out, push back and transcend the white centered perspectives and power structures that have dominated the field of early childhood for too long. Along with the compelling content, this book is beautifully designed with inspirational words, quotes and photos of the courageous women who are featured. We have much to learn from this book as we decenter whiteness and transform our profession. -Deb Curtis, Toddler and Adult Educator, Author Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
