PUSH by Sapphire was the book selected for the second annual WWW: A Literary Journey event. With a new movie
" Precious", the book has become one of the most discussed for the end of this 2009 year. Though is may look like an easy read with about 350 pages, it is not. Its graphic content about the life of an obese and abused sixteen year old named "Precious" turns your stomach and make it difficult to read.
Over one hundred women filled the dining room of
The Boiler's House in the Distillery district of downtown Toronto. The evening was filled with discussion about the details for the book and the impact it had on its readers. While eating a meal the women of the
WWW- What Women Want- community interacted with each other, agreed to disagree and shed tears.
The WWW Guests
The event was hosted by
WWW's Creator Shannae Ingleton and her welcoming team. Shannae is the owner and founder of What Women Want that along with an blog, hosts exceptional events for women.
Shannae's success has caused her to expand and develop what I like to call the "WWW Community".When describing her own life journey and the development of WWW Shannae stated these words," I created an opportunity for myself". I immediately tweeted that quote. It really reminded me that you can do anything and accomplish everything when you use your two hands and begin to build.
