What inspired you to write your memoir?
An awful statistic stated that 47% of black women will never wear a wedding dress. As an educator, professional development trainer and personal growth coach with my own relationship woes, I felt I was in a position to help. Black Girl’s Guide to Winning at Love & Life is part memoir, part satire and part cultural analysis. It’s written to help black women change their story and their lives.
If love is a race, this book helps women of color cross the finish line first!
About your Book:
IF LOVE IS WAR, MAY THE BEST WOMAN WIN!
There’s a battle brewing for love, the good life and the hearts of black men. Who will win? The answers are broken down between the pages of this how-to guide in 5 basic steps. Without apology or pulling punches, Small reveals to single sisters everywhere why the “other” girl is making sweet love to the brothers who should be their boyfriends, while 47% of black women will never wear a wedding dress.
Using what she calls the FIVE B’S for Becoming a Better Black Woman, Small rescues single sisters from dating doom by outlining the emotional and psychological challenges that they must overcome to be at their best. Like the strictest drill sergeant or tough love sister-friend, the author coaches black women on how to:
• Overcome angry black woman BIAS
• Fight BRAINWASHING indoctrination
• Maximize BEAUTY as a strategic asset
• Release and unload emotional BAGGAGE
• Be BETTER mentally, physically and emotionally
Best described as a relationship boot-camp guide for getting yours, the book is equal parts as funny as it is infuriating. Black Girl’s Guide to Winning at Love & Life successfully gives black women the one thing they need: strategies for winning at love, life and everything in-between.

How do you see writing a Memoir as different from writing other genres of books?
Memoir is more personal. It’s more revealing. There is nowhere to hide when the characters aren’t fictional. Writing a memoir is like leaving parts of your heart, mind and spirit on the page for everyone to see.
