#LettersToMyDaughters
Black women have been dehumanized through sexual objectification in the United States of America for hundreds of years and are still being degraded to this very day. The history behind this needs to be shared with the world so that the negative untruths about the black woman can be dispelled and our young women will understand that media, news, music, and television are also tools used to take away her intelligence, respect, strength, beauty, and self-pride in which she innately owns.
"The black woman is the most significant human being in this world, and we must always love, respect, uplift, and protect her by any means necessary." - Avery Washington
(Letters to My Daughters: Poetic Affirmations of Love from A Father)
I love this book because it shows a fathers love for his daughters in a positive light. With so many absentee fathers out there, it is nice to find a book that celebrates the strong bond of the father/daughter relationship, and Letters to My Daughters does just that in bringing about a warmth and truth that confirms that every young girl needs her father. I would highly recommend this book to not only fathers, mothers and daughters but to the entire family, for it takes a village to raise a child. Thank you Avery Washington for presenting a great work for your daughters and our young girls who will one day grow into beautiful women, because someone took the time out to say I care

Avery Washington was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and is one of the most respected authors of today. He is a very passionate author who has combined his gift of storytelling and poetry into powerful collections of heartfelt writings in which we all can relate to daily. Mr. Washington allows everyone to experience every emotion as his powerful words of empowerment, inspiration, encouragement, awareness and love transcend from the pages of his books into the hearts of the reader.
His latest book has become a bestseller, "Letters To My Daughters: Poetic Affirmations of Love from A Father," continues to touch the lives of daughters of all ages' and seems to resonate strongly with adult women. The author so profoundly reminds us that the first man a woman usually falls in love with is her father. The love that the author poured into this empowering book which is dedicated to his three daughters is very inspiring in a society where many young girls grow up to become adult women searching for acceptance and love in all the wrong places. This book of poems is a true gem, because the author infuses the love of God, life lessons, support, encouragement and self-love to show how essential it is that a father be present in his daughters' existence. Author, Avery Washington could have easily just spoken these words to his daughters' alone on a more personal note, but we celebrate that he shared the love he feels for his daughters' through versus whereby, other fathers will be encouraged to be the first love in the lives of their little girls and women can appreciate real emotion spoken from the heart of a man pertaining to the love he so passionately has for his children.
