It's A Sistah Thing

Work & Family at BellaOnline.com Interviews Monique R. Brown

 

I had the pleasure of meeting Monique Brown McKenzie in winter 2004 at a Professional Women of Color meeting that was held at the historic (circa 1860) Akwaaba Mansion in Brooklyn, New York. When I told her that I had her book It's  A  Sistah  Thing:  A Guide to  Understanding  and Dealing With Fibroids  for  Black Women, and was interested in interviewing her for my Work & Family at BellaOnline.com column, she immediately and graciously said yes.

Mrs. McKenzie (nee Brown) knows first hand, the difficulties of living with fibroids and decided to share her journey to recovery and healing to other women who have similar problems.  It's  A  Sistah  Thing:  A Guide to  Understanding  and Dealing With Fibroids  for  Black Women, is an important read for women with fibroids. If you are fortunate enough to be 'fibroid free', buy the book and read it to become an informed women. Mrs. McKenzie's careful research and dialogue with other women who suffer or have suffered with fibroids is clear,  easy reading. In addition to be being a well known journalist, Monique Brown McKenzie brings strong credentials to the table. 

McKenzie's biography includes an International Business degree, Baruch College, City University of New York; MBA, Long Island University;  Senior editor, BLACK ENTERPRISE Magazine;  Managing editor, SURBURBAN STYLES Magazine, Winner of two first-place awards  from  the  National   Association   of   Black Journalists.  She is the founder of Professional Women of Color. You will find the full bio on author's site. Additionally, you will be able to order her book from her site.
