Societal forces that shaped her life as a black woman impact Paula’s life. She finds herself attempting to fit into a dominant white society. She describes events from childhood to present that contributed to her life experiences. She addresses her parents’ endeavors to teach her how to assimilate and to value the white culture in order to succeed in life. She finds herself concealing her cultural identify when she is in an all-white environment.

A hurtful childhood encounter shaped her mindset in believing being black was a negative attribute. As a four-year-old, she experienced a very negative situation, which launched the beginning of a trajectory that compelled her to transform her life, by assiduously working diligently to assimilate into a white society. She captivates the love and strong foundation of growing up in a black family. Yet the complexity of doing a “delicate dance” between two cultures was not without anguish.

Paula shares both her outward journey and her inward journey. Although she becomes a successful professional woman, it was fraught with experiencing emotional, mental, and psychological consequences.

Love them as a cheap, effective warmer.
Color: Lavender
These really work well and are inexpensive ($20). I bought one for myself and my wife. Up front they tell you what kind of mugs/cups not to use, so read the information areas. We tried insulated mugs and the heat doesn't get passed the insulation barrier and the outsides get pretty hot to touch. We now use ceramic mugs and they work very well on these warmers. There are a number of temperature settings and we found the higher settings to be too hot. You will have to experiment with your own mugs to see what works. The sensor works well letting the warmer know if a mug is in place and it will shut down after 5 minutes without a mug. Unless your cat comes along early it won't get its feet scorched accidentally. The automatic timer works as advertised as well. Four stars because I found that trying to figure out how to actually turn the warmer off was a bit difficult and not so intuitive. Would definitely recommend these warmers. Hope this review helped.

A very good present for someone special
Color: Black
I got this from a girl you can go ahead and melt scented candles. Just stick the holder down on. It puts out a nice scent cause you 12 hours of warmth to maintain your cup of drink or sent up the room a bit works well.

GREAT AT KEEPING MY COFFEE HOT!!! when i said HOT, I mean HOT!!! *****
Color: Black
So far it's GREAT!!!. That warmer works great so far I plugged it, set it at the maximum (185f), put my ceramic cup of hot coffee on it and let it for 5 hours. when I checked it it was as hotter than when I put it on and the cup was really hot to the touch. The glass top is very hot so be careful, I touched the marble counter under where the warmer was and it was not even hot (now I'll try with a wooden top desk to see if it will be the same). So I don't think that you need to set it at the maximum to keep your coffee hot , probably (149f) will be good enough So far it does exceed my expectation , very easy to use and the price is right. I'll update if something happens but for now 5 STARS *****

KEEP LOOKING
Color: Black
I have used a coffee mug warmer all of my long adult life. This one is the worst. I had to get a new one because my new coffee mugs were too big to fit on the old warmer. Yes this is large and will fit most cups I would think. But the amount of attention this thing requires is ridiculous. No simple on/off switch and leave it and forget it. You have to keep touching points in order to find the on and off area, and then you have to keep tapping it to get the temperature you want, but if you take your cup off and put it back, the temperature goes back to the lowest and starts blinking until you tap it to make it solid at the temperature you want. I got it yesterday and it’s going back today. Trust me on this you won’t like the attention it requires.
