Críticas:

"Will allow fans of Jam to enjoy her fresh worldview. And for those who don't know or don't understand, this book will serve as a proper introduction to a great voice in the Black American Culture Wars. Let's conversate." Reginald Hudlin, producer/writer/director, "House Party," "Boomerang," and "Black Panther""

"One of the few voices with the courage to call it as most of us see it. . . . Directing her pointed social commentary at condescending white liberals and black leaders alike, Donaldson demonstrates that the modern manifestation of racism is the vicious cycle of low expectations." Alexei Tsybine Jendayi, Fly Gypsy"

"[Donaldson's] intelligence, sense of humor, mastery of language and storytelling ability . . . make "Conversate Is Not a Word" both entertaining and enlightening. Her message is clear and quite simple: We Have Got to Do Better . . . It's Imperative!" Jim Smith, president, Kinetic Potential"

Reseña del editor:

Many black men?from Bill Cosby to Michael Eric Dyson?have spoken out about African American society. But where are the voices of the women, especially the young, funny, witty, sarcastic ones?

Meet Jam Donaldson, a provocateur of the most entertaining kind. Funny, sad, angry, and refreshingly honest, Conversate Is Not a Word offers food for thought, encouraging people to improve their lives as well as the culture overall. Weaving her own warring viewpoints into the discussion, Donaldson provides not only comic relief but a window into the complex, contradictory perspectives existing within every member of the black community.
