SHEQUITA, I enjoyed the book immensely, and you did an excellent job of penning your text… It provides an immediate identification with us Black ladies and it projects the mental image of a Black woman who has experience in “life and living” and in “relationships”, thereby possessing great credibility in speaking, evaluating, and advising on the subject….

I admire the candid nature of the book. Great realism. There is something with which each of us can identify or relate, and I find the witty humor which pervades the entire narrative so refreshing and lends, through humor, a nice emphatic jolt to some very profound issues.

I can’t wait for your next winner. Believe me, I Laughed, I Related, and I was absolutely Encouraged (as you promised).

At last, a truly honest, introspective look at male/female relationships. Having been married twice, I have been privy to both ends of the female spectrum: one wife who was the "poor little me" type, who never let me know what was on her mind; and my second spouse, who thankfully leaves no doubt about where she stands. I'll take the latter any day. But, I digress. It is a joy to find an authoress (I know, it's a dated term) who is capable of seeing both sides of the equation, and presenting them with credibility. Well done.

I just finished the book and found it both refreshing and a life saver! The many scenarios, with helpful tips and solutions combined with Shequita's infused wit, gave me the courage and insight to handle a personal situation with my man differently than I would have handled it previously. Instead of wimping out and knuckling under - as usual, I stated what I wanted, followed the author's instructions, and GOT what I requested! He even told me he respected me for communicating my expectations and will make extra effort to fulfill them....is this the same man???? I sure wish I had had this book a long time ago!!!

Highly recommended! I truly enjoyed "Basements Are For Women Too!". A great blend of humor, stories from the heart, wit, and practical advice on how to stabilize the relationship with your man and obtain the respect you both deserve. Every woman will immediately recognize their husbands / boyfriends in the short stories and examples (too funny, too true!). "Basements" has great insight on how deal with some obstinate behavior from you man, and how to change the situation around so everyone benefits.
