• Songs of a Sistermom: Motherhood Poems (2004)
  A soulful and heartfelt look into the symphony of motherhood, through the poetic prism of one woman’s journey. The book celebrates the African-American mother and her experience, and was inspired by the author’s own experiences along with her association with a Washington, DC-based support group, Sistermoms, Inc., for African-American mothers and their families. The book examines four very different movements or phases of motherhood and "sings" about the diversity of feelings that mothers experience everyday.

• Nappy (2006) with Ann Marie Williams, Illustrator
  Nappy is a humorous and delightfully illustrated children's story containing a powerful message about history, heritage and high self-esteem. Though joyful and lighthearted, the book is an educational tool for parents, teachers and older children with the back matter containing biographies about each of the African-American women honored in the story, alongside beautiful original sketches by the illustrator.
