SHIFTING
The Double Lives of
Black Women in
America
Charisse Jones and
Kumea Shorter-Gooden
For my mother, Jean, the beacon whenever I lose my way.
For Olive and Irene, grandmothers who paved the road.
And for Camille, a sister and a friend.
Thank you.
Charisse
In memory of my grandmothers, Ella and Rosa,
And to my mother, Margaret,
And my sister, Wendy,
And my daughter, Adia,
With love and appreciation for the gifts you have given me,
And the gift you have been to me.
Kumea
