Review: Inspirational Book From The Mother of Shaquille O'Neal - Lucille O'Neal

"Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go: From Mental Welfare to Mental Health," discusses the life and growth of Lucille O'Neal.  This autobiography explores the trials and mistakes of her life and the lessons learned.  Lucille O'Neal wants to let people women know that it is never to late to change and enjoy life.

"Walk Life You Have Somewhere to Go" was very inspiring.  Each chapter represented a new challenge for Lucille and also a new level of growth.  I truly enjoyed Lucille O'Neal's honesty.  She looked her own flaws and mistakes right in the face and then used them to improve her life and enlighten others.  The reader gets to feel what it is like to struggle as a military wife, while rasing a family and battling alcoholism.
I never thought about what its like for a mother to send her son off to the NBA.  I always assumed the transitions from college to the NBA were flawless and only considered the material changes.  After reading her perspective on in the cultivating of an NBA superstar, I now have a new respect for athletes and their families.

This book is great for people who enjoy inspiring stories, but also for those who want to take a look inside the childhood of NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal.

Touching Lives

Last month I wrote a blog post about a woman in Clayton County that lost her baby due to a police brutality incident during an Animal Control misunderstanding.  Her name is Shennielle Youhoing-Nanan and she left me a comment last week to thank me for reporting the facts.

I was thrilled to know that I had touched Shennielle Youhoing-Nanan's life, but it was especially flattering to receive a thank you from her during all of her grief.

As I make my way around Atlanta, I run into people that appreciate my posts, have questions,  or have feedback - Submit them!  I would love to hear from you.

"Can't No Dog Worry This Pussy Cat" Part 2

Posted in , , , , , ,

After reading "Can't No Dog Worry This Pussy Cat" by Okeeba Jubalo and Zach Davis, I just had to interview them.  I really wanted to know where they were coming from. 

Make sure you revisit "Can't No Dog Worry This Pussy Cat" Part 1 and my review on RashaEntertainment.com.

Let me know what you think.


Candace:  What moment prompted you two to write this book?


Okeeba Jubalo:  "I wanted to write this book for the women that continue to make mistake after mistake in their relationships. It's amazing how much women do not know about men...the major problem is that women take advice about men from other women. I felt the need to give the ladies a chance to hear the truth about how we really work. The truth that is not filtered by a big time publisher or some manager that thinks that it's a bad move to tell a woman reader that she may need a good shrink. "
Zach Davis:  "After we wrote our first book "Roses & Brass Knuckles- A Man's Pocket Guide To Winning The Dating & Marriage Game", the response from our female fans was so great that I felt we had to give back to the women. There's a lot of books out there that leave women misguided and undecided by not being realistic and honest with women."


Candace: Are there more books planned for the future?
Zach Davis:  "Yes we plan on doing more, like Okeeba said we left a lot out and we get asked more questions everyday that people want to hear our opinions on regarding relationships and life in general"

Okeeba Jubalo:  "Yes...we are only getting started. There is sooooo much that we did not write."



Candace:  In the book you mentioned that you have daughters, based on the changes in the times and the increased focus on the lack of available black men in the media, are you concerned with  the choices available to your daughters in the future, despite your teachings?

Okeeba Jubalo:  "Hell yeah I am worried for my daughters because of the shortage of 'good' black men in AmeriKKKa. Let's not be fooled and please understand that this mess that is going on is by AmeriKKKa's design. However, this book crosses all races in AmeriKKKan KKKulture.
Asian, Spanish & White girls make mistakes too, not just women of African descent."
Zach Davis:  "I'm not worried about our daughters because I know they will have the upper hand with the knowledge we are instilling in them about men of all races. Now hopefully our words will help others and their children so that we can start to see a change in that trend in African American men and women. We can only put it down and hopefully some pick it up"

Candace:  Will there be speaking engagements and tours?

Okeeba Jubalo:  "Yeah. We are putting together our book tour that will start this Spring/Summer. This starting focus will be in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina, & Florida. We are also planning on doing the college scene and forming our PUSSY CAT Book Clubs.
Stay tuned for the CD and the talk show that we are putting together."
Zach Davis:  "What he said! Seriously though we are putting together a book tour, we are available for book clubs, and we will be throughout Atlanta this spring at different venues for book signings not just at the same old bookstores, we're coming to the people!"

Candace:  Do you find that it is difficult to find good women in the Atlanta area?
Zach Davis:  " I'm married so I'm not looking, but my friends sure have a hard time. In Atlanta we have the quanity, but there are a lot that lack the quality is what I always here. Good looks and a good career alone don't make you good woman or marriage material"

Okeeba Jubalo:  "HELL YEAH...LIKE LOOKING FOR A GRAIN OF SUGAR IN A 100 LB BAG OF SALT!"
LOL...just kidding...kinda."
