On the next Another View, a  conversation with political science professor, political pundit and author Melissa Harris-Perry.  Her latest book is called Sister Citizen - Shame, Stereotypes and Black Women in America.  In the book, Harris-Perry argues that persistent harmful stereotypes interfere with black women's claims to the full rights of citizenship.  She says these stereotypes profoundly shape black women's politics, contribute to policies that treat them unfairly and make it difficult for black women to assert their rights in the political arena. Then, we'll talk with author and speech coach Christine Jahnke, author of The Well Spoken Woman.  Jahnke will give us the speech and presentation skills we need to make a powerful impact.    Plus, Lisa Godley introduces us to Hampton Roads latest star, 17 year old Maury High School senior  LaQuanda Reid, who plays Dorothy in the Hurrah Players' latest production, the Wizard of Oz.  It's an hour of female empowerment on Another View, Friday, October 21 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM.

According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 67% of African American households are headed by a single parent - in Virginia, 58% of black households are single parent households.  The reasons are many - women who choose to be a single mom, divorce, death, incarceration of the dad, poverty...you get the picture.  And while the usual stereotype of a single parent is a young women on welfare, uneducated and with no direction, the truth is that many single parents become so out of life circumstance.   Women who suddenly find themselves in a single parent situation often do not know where to turn for help.  On the next Another View, we'll talk with Monica and Tony Brothers, creators of the Still Hope Foundation, an organization that works with single mothers to help them get back on track, and we'll meet a single mother who successfully completed the program.   Plus, hear the soulful gospel sounds of Maurice Yancey and One Accord!  It's all on Another View, Friday, September 23 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, and whrv.org.
