The book was controversial bringing "forth community forums, pickets and heated arguments among blacks in many parts" of the US when it was published in 1989. Some passages of her book describing African American women—referred to as "the Blackwoman"—quoted in the media include: Although not lazy by nature, she has become loose and careless about herself and about her man and family. Her brain is smaller than the Blackman's, so while she is acclaimed for her high scholastic achievement, her thought processes do not compare to the conscious Blackman's. Ali has stated she "wrote the book because black women in America have been protected and insulated against certain kinds of criticism and examination." Critics complained that book offered "no factual data to substantiate" her views or information about how she came to her conclusions, and was essentially as a vanity press product that would have been ignored by blacks and others had it not been for the media attention its novelty and  00:52:00View From A RacknoSister Shahrazad Ali,The Blackman's Guide to Understanding the Blackwoman,Breastfeeding Mothers Unite,Afrykayn Moon,Rebecca Jackson-ArtisShahrazad Ali (born April 27, 1954, in Atlanta, Georgia, US) raised in Cincinnati, Ohio is an author of several books, including an 180-page, $10, self-publishehttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/viewfromarack/2014/10/22/no-confrontation-with-documentationEducationhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/viewfromarack/2014/10/22/no-confrontation-with-documentation/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/viewfromarack/2014/10/22/no-confrontation-with-documentationWed, 22 Oct 2014 01:00:00 GMTNo Confrontation With DocumentationBrother Robert X is a well-studied African Master Teacher who has over 30 years of acquired knowledge from ancient spirituality to the results of global African genocide.  Brother Robert X often says, "No confrontation with documentation."

StanfordAcquanda Stanford is a Black feminist anthropologist, Full-Circle Doula, trained by the International Center for Traditional Childbearing and a Certified Lactation Educator. At one point not so long ago I had hopes of becoming an IBCLC — a Lactation Consultant, certified through the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners, but stopped pursuing that after obtaining that CLE. I am also a PhD student of sociocultural anthropology, researching breastfeeding among people of African Descent in the US. What all of this means for me, is that rather than focusing on clinical applications and mechanics (how to latch a baby to a breast, information about breast pumps, milk storage, etc.), I focus on social theory. Breastfeeding is a biological site and serves as a gateway to explore the greater complexities around this tradition. Viewing this through a critical and holistic framework, it allows me to view a larger picture and explore areas of culture and biology, social organization, areas of domination, environment, gender, as well as community empowerment and various others via a historical, contemporary and cross-cultural context. My ultimate goal is to become a professor of anthropology and bring the culmination of these topics to higher education — as well as participate in applied work outside of the academy, and also continue to engage the general public. Even though much of what I do has become a love of my life, my entry point in this area may or may not be like others you have heard of. I wasn’t placed here because I had an obsession with birth and breastfeeding, like many of us who consider ourselves ‘junkies’; far from it. Being here is the last place on earth I would have ever imagined myself.   Bio copied from: http://acquandastanford.com/aboutme/ 01:30:00View From A RacknoBlack feminist anthropologist,Full-Circle Doula,trained by the International Center for Traditional Childbearing,Certified Lactation Educator,Lactation ConsultantAcquanda Stanford is a Black feminist anthropologist, Full-Circle Doula, trained by the International Center for Traditional Childbearing and a Certified Lactathttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/viewfromarack/2014/08/27/on-call-with-dr-aletha-maybankEducationhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/viewfromarack/2014/08/27/on-call-with-dr-aletha-maybank/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/viewfromarack/2014/08/27/on-call-with-dr-aletha-maybankWed, 27 Aug 2014 01:00:00 GMTOn Call with Dr. Aletha MaybankDr. Aletha Maybank is a young, highly respected physician on a mission.

From Pole dancing & yoga to breastfeeding on the red carpet she lives a very in your face, take it or live it life that we admire here at View From A Rack.  "Hailing from the illustrious Golden State she always had an appreciation for love, fitness, artistic expression and a natural way of living. After having obtained a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration from Hampton University, she began to slowly come into her own rejecting the demands of what others felt were appropriate for her life. However, it wasn’t until she became a mother, that she truly understood her path and the necessity of support. Having organized the most attended World Breastfeeding Event to date with the Northeast Valley Health Center, she began to live out loud, using social media to build her village, increase her family and establish a strong support system; spreading the message of self-love, healing and natural parenting. Her message to all parents and individuals is, “It is okay to be 100% committed to your child(ren) and loved ones. In doing so make sure that you take the time to give to yourself." bio copied from: https://www.facebook.com/MsWrightsWay 01:00:00View From A RacknoMs. Wright Way,Ashley Wright,Breastfeeding,Yoga,YogiShe calls herself the "Badass Breastfeeding, Babywearing, Attachment parenting, Pole dancing, Yogi Momma!
