Dr. Mike Robinson: Why do you think it is important for Females of Color like your wife to share their testimony?
Everett Scott: Females of color have many untold stories and history that needs to be shared. Sometimes women can bond with others by sharing their stories. Even more, by sharing their stories, women of color may help other women overcome what once may have been an obstacle. Sharing is often a way to help others grow by letting others know they’re not alone.
Dr. Mike Robinson: Did you have an opportunity to read your wife’s chapter before she submitted it to the editors? Are there plans to share her story with other members of the family when the book is released?
Everett Scott: I did not read the chapter until after she wrote it. Yes, she will share with family, especially those who inspired the story through a couple of family members represented in the story are now deceased.
Dr. Mike Robinson: What surprised you or stood out from what your wife had to share with the world?
Everett Scott: I knew that her grandmother and aunt were important to her, but not until I read the story did I understand the importance of the role her father played in her life. Although my wife’s father died when she was very young, his love for her was so important. I know that she treasures her dad and his undying love for his girls, despite his struggles.
Dr. Mike Robinson: What five words best describe your wife?

Dr. Mike Robinson: What do you want readers to take away after reading your wife's story?
