Darlene,
Thank you for using your formidable skills, professional expertise and your life's experience as an African American woman to adapt the "seasons of color" theory for use by "Women of Color!"
This is a beautiful, well-done book! Kudos to the photographer, Edgar Thompson,and the models as both the photographs and the women depicted in the photos are beautiful!
The text is well-done and "user friendly!"
I believe that all women can and will relate to your practical advice, sense your sincerity and appreciate your empathy!
As a confirmed "Autumn," I am now aware of the difference that "wearing your season" can have on the quality of the compliments received. It is the subtle difference in receiving a "compliment" to the effect: "...that dress looks nice on you" versus "...you look wonderful in that dress!" Many women will immediately appreciate that it is the latter compliment to which we aspire and that "makes it all worthwile!"
I look forward to your "next" book because I know that your experiences since finishing "Women of Color" are probably worthy of your literary efforts, as well.
I will try to remain in "my season." But, if you notice that I have strayed, then a gentle nudge is o.k.!
Again, thank you!
