FirstLadyDom In The Black Church
First LadyDom is a touching anthology that explores a world unseen by most – intentionally or otherwise: First Ladydom. The role of the First Lady can be lonely, as leadership roles often are. People often fail to acknowledge the humans behind the tailor suits and matching hats. The pressure to perform on behalf of yourself and the Lord while staving off feelings of inadequacy and isolation would make anyone feel hopeless at times.
Preceded by a personalized introduction by Pastor Shevalle Kimber, nine women reflect on their chosen lives. What is it like finding yourself under pressure and scrutiny for a dream you aren’t sure is yours? When some congregation members haven’t bothered to learn your name while they hurry to criticize your outfit or seating placement? When there is no one to fix the fixer, and you fear sacrifice has left you empty? These women strive to keep their best foot forward despite all that stands in their way. Short but poignant – these works are confirmation that regardless of title, we are all entitled to grace, identity, love, and understanding.
