Othelio S. Randall, MD and Donna Randall will discuss & sign Menu for Life African Americans Get Healthy, East Well, Lose Weight and Live Beautifully
Obesity Project at Howard University's General Clinic Research Center, husband and wife team Dr. Otelio Randall and Donna Randall have developed a program that considers the many lifestyle and physiological factors that contribute to obesity. A thorough discussion of how and why people gain weight is followed by the facts about the serious health implications of obesity, such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholestoral, and the tremendous health benefits that even modest weight loss can bring. This knowledge provides the foundation for making life changes--small adjustments that will lead to major improvements. Advice for beginning to exercise, rethinking your priorities, shopping better, and cooking healthy foods for your family make this a complete program, first, for stopping weight gain, and then for losing weight while gaining health--pound by pound.* You will find a wonderful meal planner and a scrumptious selection of recipes, designed to taste extraordinary enough to serve to company. Every page contains upbeat advice for overcoming obstacles that may have gotten in the way of weight loss.* With the success stories from many of the program participants throughout the book, inspiration is always close at hand.

Charles Johnson author of the Middle Passage and National Book Award Winner* will discuss and sign copies of his new book Turning the Wheel
American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and cartoonist. * Johnson, whose balance of philosophy and folklore has been praised since the publication of his first novel in 1974, gained prominence when his novel Middle Passage (1990) won the National Book Award in 1990. * Like his other works of fiction, Middle Passage embodies Johnson's controversial version of black literature, defined in his Being and Race:* Black Writing since 1970 (1988) as "a fiction of increasing artistic and intellectual growth, one that enables us as a people-as a culture-to move from narrow complaint to broad celebration."
In Turning the Wheel, Johnson sets out to explore this question by examining his experiences both as a writer and as a practitioner of Buddhism. * In this collection of provocative and intimate essays, Johnson writes of the profound connection between Buddhism and creativity, and of the role of Eastern philosophy in the quest for a free and thoughtful life. In 1926, W. E. B. Du Bois asked African-Americans what they would most want were the color line miraculously forgotten.

Williams to Erykah Badu, Patti LaBelle, and Iman—who share candid insights on how they nurture their inner and outer beauty, and serve up great style day in and day out. They are joined by everyday women who have what author Mikki Taylor calls celebrité (such as eighty-two-year-old body builder Morjorie Newlin); women who give new dimension to what it means to live an empowered life.* FIND OUT anecdotes, methods, and solution-oriented philosophies from the top experts—including psychologists, naturopathic doctors, nutritionists, dermatologists, personal trainers, hairstylists, and makeup artists—to help guide you on your path and insure that you realize all the joys of your desires.

Join Manthia Diawara Professor at New York University for a reading, discussion and signing of his new book We Won't Budge
Now director of the Africana Studies program at New York University, Malian native Diawara recounts his journey from rock and roll-struck adolescent to Parisian intellectual manqué, and from D.C. dishwasher to New York teacher. But, as he explains to a fellow Malian he meets in Paris, he is less interested in being a memoirist or historian than one "who likes to question things, people, and history." This questioning centers on the meaning of what it is to be African in an age of globalization, an uneasy immigrant to a First World increasingly nervous about those outside its gates. Diawara's account of what he sees as the systemic racisms of France and the United States derives its descriptive power not only from a residue of sometimes bitter personal experience but from an unwillingness to let that experience blind him to the ways in which that racism can be internalized on all sides and passed on. Addressing the daily brutalities of Western officialdom and ignorance, he is equally concerned with the forces of conformity and superstition that can hobble his community's demand for justice and fair treatment.
