    UBAWA's Women of Color, Power, and Influence

    UBAWA: When did you first decide you wanted to become an author?
    Shani: In 2005 when I was challenged by a friend to complete my first book.

    UBAWA: How did you decide on the idea for your 1st book? 2nd book? 3rd book, etc?
    Shani: My first book stemmed from stereotypes of interracial relationships and the storyline took on a life of its own from there. My second book was an erotic anthology and the inspiration to compile the stories came when I saw an image of a woman sitting inside of a coffee cup with the words Mocha Chocolate on the outside of it. Thinking about my most intimate indulgences, I knew Mocha Chocolate would make a great title for a book and even better reading material.

    Popular Highlights from Amazon Kindle

    “Nothing in life happens by chance. Everything we encounter has purpose,”
    1. "William Blake, said it best – in love, there is a smile of love and there is a smile of deceit. Then there is the smile of smiles in which those two smiles meet."
    2. “It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few are shocked by deceit."
    3. "It’s funny how we know the right things to do in life, but either choose not to, or are too afraid to put what we know into action."

    DC Black Theater Festival #SOKW

    We are excited to announce that Secrets of a Kept Woman will perform during the DC Black Theatre Festival for one-show only at the Ira Aldridge Theatre on the Howard University Campus in Washington, DC. The date is June 28, 2013 at 7 p.m.


    This play is unsettling at times, comedic at others, and shows in a lighthearted way that life is full of laugh-out-loud, soul stirring moments, and most importantly, opportunities to heal. As theatergoers become acquainted with Shayla, Gladys, and Rhonda, they will uncover how three women who are best of friends really do not know each other at all.
