New York Times best-selling, award-winning author, actor, and motivational speaker Hill Harper invites listeners to join the conversation about the breakdown of the African-American family. The black community of past generations found strength in families, but today’s black children have less than a one in three chance of being raised in a two-parent household. Harper’s search for answers to this phenomenon is an enlightening and empowering journey.

After the publication of the best-selling Letters to a Young Brother, accomplished actor and speaker Hill Harper began to receive an increasing number of moving letters from inmates who yearned for a connection with a successful role model. With disturbing statistics on African-American incarceration on his mind (one in six black men were incarcerated as of 2001, and one in three can now expect to go to prison some time in their lifetimes), Harper set out to address the specific needs of inmates.

Being “shook” is more than a rap lyric for Charlamagne; it’s his mission to overcome. While it may seem like he is ahead of the game and should have nothing to worry about, he is still plagued by anxieties - fear of being weak; fear of being a bad dad; fear of being a worse husband; and, ultimately, fear of failure. Shook One chronicles his journey to beat back those fears and empowers you to no longer be held back from your potential.

In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, just outside Mobile, to interview 86-year-old Cudjo Lewis. Of the millions of men, women, and children transported from Africa to America as slaves, Cudjo was then the only person alive to tell the story of this integral part of the nation's history. Hurston was there to record Cudjo's firsthand account of the raid that led to his capture and bondage 50 years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in the United States. In 1931, Hurston returned to Plateau, the African-centric community three miles from Mobile.

Keep writing young brother.

There is something remarkable about this young man. He has touched and saved many lives just as his Grandfather Dr. Hill touched and saved mine. May he continue and teach and to love and may more and more young brothers and sisters learn to emulate, not simply the words that he offers but the undeniable love and concern that is made evident by his powerful words.

I absolutely love this book. its for all races

What did you love best about Letters to a Young Sister?

I am a 30 yr old listening to this book. i love this book but sometimes he gets a lil too PC and not realistic. I love the way he spoke about saving, that money is not for spending its for accumulating.

What about Kevin R. Free’s performance did you like?

I loved his performance. At times I forgot it wasnt Hill Harper reading to us.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I must for every Black Young Sister...

This book is a I must for every Black Young Sister...especially if they do not have their Father in the their life full time and is giving her these kind of advise, guidance and nurturing. In fact, it should be a course in public school!
