What Keeps Me Standing: Letters from Black Grandmothers on Peace, Hope and Inspiration

What Keeps Me Standing is a treasure trove of wisdom from African American grandmothers, collected over five years through interviews with one thousand women from diverse backgrounds and locations.

These remarkable individuals have been the backbone of their communities, providing support, inspiration, and love to countless family members, neighbors, and friends.

Their answers to the question "If you had to write a one-page letter to your children or the next generation, what would you tell them about life?" reveal that success in life cannot be measured solely by wealth and material goods.

Instead, these grandmothers offer insights into the power of every individual to take charge of their own destiny, despite facing racism, financial struggles, and personal setbacks.

Filled with examples of how even small acts of kindness can make a difference in the world, What Keeps Me Standing is the perfect gift for anyone seeking inspiration and wisdom from those who have lived through it all.
