Drops of Shade: A Reflection of Race

Drops of Shade will remind you that you are not just people of color but that you are also human. And sometimes as your soul wonders you’ll struggle with the misconceptions of accepting this symbolic prejudicial classification via your melanin instead of embracing your unique genetics. “Drops of Shade” is a literary canopy of branches & leaves connected at the trunk of our roots. Mrs. Roberts brilliantly paints pictures with words that describe the acceptance amongst people of color usually described by trivial ‘Black & African-American’ titles, as a systemic example of a country that adheres to a system that has conditioned us to only pay homage to our African ancestors through media while completely ignoring our rich ethnic blood lines therefore brainwashing an entire race into accepting the highest form of captivity LACK OF IMAGINATION. This book is more than another collection of poetry. It is about surviving, thriving, acknowledging, refusing, accepting, color-rising, e-racism, denial but most importantly empowerment. You will be enlightened and your mindset changed chapter by chapter. Not in anger but in a desperate attempt to seek resolution through a common goal that strengthens your understanding of the true history of a majestic and noteworthy people. This book achieves what all great literary works hope to accomplish and that is to equip people with the ability to identify and classify themselves not based upon American dream but the often unobtainable American freedom.
