Imagine a world where black women control everything. The former F.L.O.T.U.S; Michelle Obama, is the president, and the entire judicial system is filled to the brim with intelligent, melanin-kissed, goddesses. For black women, this utopian society is Sista World, but for men, this world is Hell, on Earth. As the book opens, a horrible incident takes place involving the police, and Sista World is outraged. The #BLACKLIVESMATTER Movement is in full swing, and as the plot thickens, the one-sided media coverage sparks the #SAYHISNAME Campaign. The devastating turn of events eventually impacts the lives of five characters who are connected in the strangest of ways. The twisted tales of these five characters are vividly told through the eyes of five extraordinarily talented China, Verkeya Lanece, Janae Marie, K. Sharronne, and B’Shone. SISTA Twisted Tales is meant to praise black women, while opening dialogue regarding women in church leadership roles, the rap industry, and the world of construction. The book also puts the idea of deadbeat mothers, sexual double standards, and mental instability under the microscope. In addition to the roles of women in society, the #BLACKLIVESMATTER Movement, and the #SAYHERNAME Campaign, both appear in the book in a “twisted” way. 100% of the proceeds from this book will be donated to non-profit organizations with a mission is to highlight and eradicate police brutality against black women.
