Nia Virtual Book Tours presents author Woody Campbell and debut release titled Fade to Black.

Who are we?

Who decided that we were “African Americans?” How did the world conclude that to be our designation? As children growing up we were called, with apparent acceptance “Colored people.” By the time the Civil Rights Movement was ushered in by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we were elevated to the respectable status of “Negro.” In college, I saw us move to “Afro American” and then to the preferred “Black American,” which I thought represented the result of the efforts of slain martyrs like Medgar Evers and Dr. Martin Luther King, who perished so that we could be known as Black Americans. They died so that we could move forward and share in the fruits of our labor in America.

For many years, I have been troubled by the apparent fact that we as Black Americans of African descent—whose ancestors had not immigrated willingly to America—have been unable to settle on a definitive identity.

I am unable to understand why this has not been done before. I feel that there are thousands, if not millions of people who feel as I do but for some reason, perhaps the fear of expert opinion, have not demonstrated their opposition. For all of those people let me state without hesitation that I believe we are Black Americans of African descent. The African American designation is by definition and logic, a misrepresentation.

Nia Virtual Book Tours presents an interview with author Ken Tucker.

 Are You Fascinated?: The Four People You Need to Succeed, will challenge everyone who reads it to examine where they have been, where they are now and where they want to be in their life and career. 

This book provides for each reader their own mini-revolution. This revolution is awakened by the personal stories, life-changing examples and opportunity for self-exploration that Ken offers. Are You Fascinated? is not for everyone . . . just that person who is fed up with the same old thing and hungry to do something positively new and different with their life.

When was the last time you took a real look at where you are and where you are going? Recently? Or has it been awhile? Are You Fascinated? provides practical strategies to ‘fire up’ the “fascination” that will energize you to clarify what it is you really want out of life, and provide you with practical tools to achieve your goals.

Take this fascinating trip with Ken. Really, what do you have to lose, except years of regret for not starting sooner? You can experience more and greater success. The time is now, and fascination, is the dynamic power that the four people who help you succeed, can and will use - If you are willing?
