Binti Book Club

Book Viola Davis finding me!

4- out of 5 Stars

Point # one-I see power authority greatness on the way even when she was a little child running from little young white male children.  They thought she was not attractive, she alleged in the book.

Point # two-I definitely want to report that she seems to allegedly have a great love for food and southern food for sure. Which I love myself, so nice job on that Viola.  Hahaha!  Yeah and she is on Oprah Winfrey's book club 2022

Point# three-  My criticism is that it is terrible that a child sees such violence as a young child.  Allegedly towards her mother and towards her sister by her Father and Vola having to constantly be the one to break up all of this violence. With a lot of alleged violence and alcoholism in the home it is a disgrace and terrible for a child to have to witness.

Point # four- Mvp moment- The MVP moment is Viola just surviving all of this.  Great Admiration for someone like that!

Is this a research moment or a teachable moment?  The teachable moment is to never give up hope on who you might become and keep the hope!  If you're in need of teachable moments and my opinion. Visit my website and view my teachable moments segment.

Point #five- Most loving moment- The most loving moment is that she became a great movie star and can be seen in such films as the help guys.  Yes.

Let bygones be bygones and Let love be your guiding force! 

  1/2024 JADA PINKETT SMITH BOOK WORTHY REVIEW!

Hey guys, My Binti LOVE Seekers !  I am Reviewing

   Jada Pinkett Smith  book Worthy

5 out of 5 Stars-

point# one- Let me comment and say I loved the melody of the book.  It was like a song.  Now I don't know if she wrote the book with what you call a ghost writer or not but I loved the melodic undertones of the book's flow of writing.

point# two- Let me report that the book really shared her youth and her thus hardships in life here in the baltimore md area.

Point# three- My criticism is this i did not feel the soul of Jada the hard edge that she betrays in life and the real core of her.  That she is THE MISS JADA PINKET.  Who we all adored and loved for years.  That sassy girl that just came out and said it whether you liked her or not.  The edge she has does not show up in this book at all.  So are we losing the authentic real Jada Pinkett to yoga, and meditation? I do not know guys.

point# four-  The MVP moment is her hiding from the cops here in baltimore and just trying to make sense of what am i really doing here as a young girl.

Is this a research moment or a teachable moment?  Research moment(science org.com)   It is alleged to be true that a kid of drug addicted parents is more likely to have issues with drug addiction and they too might sell drugs as a child which happened in Jada’s case. 

point#five-  The most loving moment is how she tried to protect her mother through all of the trials and tribulations growing up in Baltimore with parents with addictions issues.  I saw that loving spirit of her in this book but she must keep the spirit about her, which is the hard defender and Sassy women too that I found missing in this book also.

This all alleged!

Let bygones be bygones and Let love be your guiding force! 

Title:   POPS Learning to be a son and a Father by Craig Melvin an anchor of the Today show 

Did I think this deserved 5 Stars? I sure did, so i gave them just that 5- out of 5 Stars

Point # one-  Let me comment and say it spoke volumes to me that Craig spoke about how people really do not appreciate Fathers allegedly.  How mothers get more praise than fathers get. We do not acknowledge fathers in the home allegedly.  Wow! That was interesting to me.  To hear it from a man's point of view.  You don’t really hear that guys may think that way!  For men to be in touch with their emotions and share that is brillant to me!

Point # two-  Let me report that Craig seems to not have a close relationship with his father in his eyes; however he seemed to be able to ask his father almost anything and his father would tell him.   So i think it was the emotional aspect that Craig was missing in his book Pops that made Craig feel cold and lonely distance towards his father.  The tones we use affect others.  Like for instance with me and my cat I notice more with her than people that she really responds to the tone of my voice.  Hahaha! Hey cats are like people so I think that is where the difference lies in the tone that you use with people to feel that affection by voice tones. And maybe his father’s tone was not soothing but more rough im alleging it might be so.  Great read in fathers being gentle with their son’s in their tone. Now he does alleged that his father was born in prison so that must be his father’s thorn in his side i am gathering.

Point# three-  My criticism is not enough about himself in this book and his personal feelings and inadequacies told due to the lack of a relationship in his mind with his father.  I would have wanted to hear more about his pain or nonchalance due to the allegedly failed relationship.

Point # four- (read this for 5/24/24) The MVP moment is the generational Moonshining business.   Hahaha! I never heard of that.  That was definitely back in the day.  I loved those stories.

Is this a research moment or a teachable moment? It is a Teachable moment. Being an entrepreneur is definitely a profitable way to go regarding self independence.

Point # five- Most loving moment is -  Just the enduring spirit that Craig had. I loved how he gave his father a lecture whom he refers to as Pops in this book about his lottery ticket obsession and frankly a gambling obsession.  So for Craig to grow up dealing with various issues and pave his own path outside of his humble beginnings of moonshining and generational crime. Being able to remove himself from that and become a proud father an anchor of news programs like the Today Show is amazing and quite extraordinary.
