Reviews
"If I Decide to Fly!" is a collection of poems put together as a display of celebration for our African American men. The poetry showcases the struggles, burdens, and emotions our men go through. It's a motivation to men and women to stay in the fight, to keep pushing, and to keep God first! Reading poem after poem the content touches your heart, and I believe this is a book that everyone should read. The poetry is positive and encouraging written by a strong woman celebrating a strong, black man! -- (O.O.S.A. Online Book Club - rating 5 stars)
To many times we forget to uplift the men in our lives; we forget to give them the positive reinforcements that they deserve. If I Decide To Fly! by Marina is a collection of poems that does just that, uplift the spirit of African American men.
Marina shows appreciation for the every day black man, the famous black man, her grandfather, and those men that are around, but are just not known. These lyrical praises capture the essence of African-American men that are not shown enough. Marina brings to life the sides of these men that are oftentimes not acknowledged but downplayed by the media and society.
If I Decide To Fly! would make for a good gift to sons, fathers, and just a special man in your life. -- Jennifer Coissiere APOOO BookClub - Five Stars – Amazon.com
