Sobre IBD

SCARED TO FAITH highlights some of Valerie Opher’s key life experiences as an African-American woman who has worked in not-for-profit as well as for-profit organizations in Corporate America. To be the only and sometimes first African-American woman in several leadership and management positions presented Valerie Opher with many racial and political challenges that included the following: A racial attack by Caucasians that was mentioned on Fox 45 Ten O’clock news in Baltimore, Maryland; being called a refugee by an African-American woman who happened to be her boss in Charlotte, North Carolina; being asked: Who do you think you are, the Rosa Parks of Wilmington, NC by a Vice-President of a local hospital; and having her life threatened while employed as CEO of a community health center in North Carolina. While employed by a Fortune 500 company, Valerie Opher was asked to tell the other four Black members of a team of 100+ persons not to sit together, because 'it makes the rest of the team uncomfortable'. How do persons of color in Corporate America maintain and honor our identity when we are fewer in number and continually challenged to demonstrate acts of respect for White colleagues, who tend to be the majority, even though we often rationalize that our inclusion is simply tolerance? Each of the experiences shared in the book demonstrate Valerie’s determination to acknowledge a higher power that she calls God. Each time that she was faced with a challenging work experience, she ©traveled to self, or communed with her spirit. She learned the importance of acting on the spiritual messages, because they yielded remarkable results every time! Consequently, Valerie Opher learned to become ©scared to faith and very little else. SCARED TO FAITH is about being scared to the point of believing in a higher power.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
