Whispers in Our Ears: Afro-Caribbean Proverbs: A Journal

By Dr. Pauline Felicia Baird

If you find yourself murmuring, "My grandmother used to say..." you are encountering whispers in your ears. This interactive journal of 110 pages offers 52 Afro-Caribbean proverbs. They prompt you to reflect and write whispered stories. You can sit with these proverbs, listen to them and the voices that spoke them. Perhaps in quiet contemplation you may reconsider and contest them. Some proverbs may cause you to smile, to yearn, or to speak back to them. Know this-proverbs are whispers and when you whisper back, you make new kinds of stories and relationships with oral histories. For generations Afro-Caribbean people have recited proverbs, sprinkling them here and there in their lives-- just like they would nutmeg and spice in their food. Give "Whispers in Our Ears" as a gift or write in it and spice up yuh life
