HISTORY

Up to 2004, Rita Toews, from Winnipeg was writing books but had no way to get them into reader’s hands, so she started writing ebooks. Ebook popularity was just getting started, and few people knew about the availability of ebooks. So, she created “Read an E-Book Week” to create a mass opportunity for one week out of the year for writers to get international publicity.

Chapter Title: Black Roadblocks

Racism is an interesting creature as it can be presented in such an unobscured manner that it slides right over your head. As you trek along in life, the smallest or biggest milestones and accomplishments will somehow take you back to that day and time you were faced with roadblocks. That is when you know for sure that you, too, have come face to face with some form of unacceptance, micro-aggression, racial hostility, double consciousness or colorism. If you are like me, you have told yourself that you are not bothered by these biases.  However, together over time, they can create doubt, lack of confidence, and uneasiness for no logical reason besides the fact that, deep down, you are always trying to ensure you are as good or better than the white athlete, student, or colleague.
