NEW BOOK, "MY AFRIKAH HAIR," IS A MASTERPIECE FOR BLACK GIRLS EVERYWHERE
Nationwide -- Alabaster Box Media Group, a boutique multimedia
publishing house, announces the release of My Afrikah Hair, masterfully
written for black girls everywhere. Using hair as a metaphor and model
for self-esteem, Melanie L. Houston weaves a journey and a movement from
Africa to America, from infancy to elderhood.
The elegant art of internationally renowned Bahamian artist Philece Roberts perfects Alabaster Box Media Group's mission to marry art and literature. Each page displays poetry, exquisite watercolor, and teastained images that evoke childhood memories, and proudly proclaims the heritage and culture of Africans/ African-Americans. The book is polished with a soft touch hardback cover with embossed gold foil and a gold ribbon.
