Brother Cornell West has a new book entitled “Living and Loving Out Loud” that is a memoir of the journey he has endured, experienced, sustained and fought to make the man that travels around the globe inspiring the masses to become the best HUMAN being possible. Serena’s book is entitled “My Life Queen of the Court”
CORNELL WEST “LIVING AND LOVING OUT LOUD” Overview
As a bluesman, he is determined to tell the whole story; refusing to “sanitize or deodorize,” he tells his story to “unapologetically reveal [his] broken life as a thing of beauty.”
“My story, like all of our stories, is a work in progress. At several junctures, in several ways, it breaks down. That’s because, as a cracked vessel, I break down. I try to love my crooked neighbor with my crooked heart. I try to rid myself of prejudices, but always fall short.” It is this sort of honesty and prose that ultimately makes Brother West not only a worthwhile read, but a book that we learn from and see pieces of our own story.
SERENA WILLIAMS: “MY LIFE QUEEN OF THE COURT”
You don’t learn how to hit a topspin backhand by reading this book, sadly, but you do discover Serena’s Post-it mantra for success: “Hold serve, hold serve, hold serve. Focus, focus, focus. Be confident, be confident, be confident. Hold serve, hold, hold. Move up. Attack. Kill. Smile.”
