The author of the book, D.J. Graham, has traveled the United States extensively and found that African Americans in general still possess some of the mental characteristics associated with slavery.  This is the mindset that needs to be realized and eliminated for the Black race as a whole to flourish and contribute to their full potential.  Her primary goal is to help society understand that a psychological problem does exist within the African American mind.  Hopefully, this will create an environment that provides Black America with the opportunity for true equality, not only in this country, but throughout the global community.

 

Ms. Graham made a conscientious decision several years ago to transition from a career in business to the world of education.  She has been an educator for the past five years at the middle school and junior college levels.  Prior to that, she was in the Information Technology industry for more than 25 years working for a number of companies, ranging from small businesses to fortune 100 conglomerates.  She also owns a small technology consulting company.
