520 . ‡a"Bee Quammie invites women and girls everywhere to embrace the power of possibility in this intimate, powerful, and inspiring collection. A successful Black woman in media, Bee Quammie often finds herself being cast as a role model for young women--and especially women of colour. But Bee has never quite been comfortable with the idea of being a role model for the next generation. Who is she to suggest anyone live the way she has? Follow a certain path? Who says the path she followed is the "right" one--that there even is a "right" one? When Bee became a mother, the weight of responsibility became even heavier, and she spent hours agonizing over how she could be the guide her girls needed without getting in their way or imposing her agenda. That's when Bee decided she needed a new model for understanding the role she should play for her children--and anyone else who might be looking to her for inspiration. Instead of a role model, Bee prefers to think of herself as a possibility model--one example among many of how to live one's life. But even more important, Bee wants to show her daughters and other young people like them how ripe with possibility their lives really are, how many opportunities and avenues there are to explore. There is so much richness to be found in life, even if you end up somewhere that feels unconventional or unplanned. In The Book of Possibilities, Bee shows us how small acts of bravery and paying careful attention to our inner voice can open up a world of opportunity and lead to a fulfilling life."-- ‡cProvided by publisher.
