The “2012 Annual Sacramento Women of Color Day\/Diversity Event<\/strong>” is in its 27th year!\u00a0 Once again organized and coordinated by Suzanne Brooks, CEO, I am happy to report that I was invited and participated in this occasion.\u00a0 Held at the Sacramento, CA, Library on I Street, my participation brought recognition to my book “My Diabetic Soul – An Autobiography<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

“This year’s program focused on women of color…to come out of\u00a0social margins with recognition of\u00a0 achievements and contributions, increased communication among us, writing and telling our stories as a basis of new, innovative strategies for positive social changes that include us, and document our experiences for all people and for all time….”\u00a0 http:\/\/www.womenofcolorday.com\/htdocs\/achievements.htm<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

As an author, I am involved in many author\/writing clubs.\u00a0 One in particular, “Gold Country Wordsmiths<\/em> (GCWordsmiths.com<\/span><\/span>),\u00a0invited me to partake\u00a0in this special event.\u00a0 I give warm thanks to GCW\u00a0member\u00a0Robert Steffen, ACTV\u00a0Producer,\u00a0\u00a0for his original and incited invitation.<\/p>\n

Why me?\u00a0 Why was I invited?\u00a0 Having successfully and courageously lived with diabetes for over fifty years,\u00a0with minimal effort I\u00a0try to \u00a0inspire\u00a0all Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics as well as\u00a0non-diabetics to lead a healthful\u00a0and progressive life.\u00a0 This is my current career\u00a0goal.\u00a0 Through my book, I express\u00a0being ostracized\u00a0as a child with diabetes; adolescent peer pressures; college accomplishments; career building; marriage; tribulations\u00a0occurring with a\u00a0successful pregnancy; and onto menopause.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Women of Color<\/em> event allowed me to reach out to\u00a0many<\/em> people once again!\u00a0 It basically “honors outstanding women of color for achievements\/contributions, and women, men, businesses, and organizations of all cultures supporting\/promoting diversity.”\u00a0 \u00a0Colorful I am!<\/p>\n

With this personal endeavor, Louis Borelli, owner of “A Book X Change” bookstore in Auburn, CA, encouraged participated\u00a0with a set-up of a diverse collection of books that are sold in his store.\u00a0 Louis is talented in noticing diverse authors such as Gail McGonigle, author of “Dad’s Home Alone: Caring for Your Elderly Parent<\/span>;” Louise Schnur, author of “From Darkness to Light<\/span>;” and Robert Steffen, author of “The Holy Day…as it is on Earth,\u00a0as it is in Heaven<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

Progressive and successful networking, brainstorming, sharing, and learning were – and are – encompassed with and through community endeavors.\u00a0 It is a matter of getting involved.\u00a0 Pursue your innovations.\u00a0 Grow with them and you will become accomplished.\u00a0 Learn, learn, learn then learn some more!\u00a0 Most importantly, take care<\/strong>\u00a0– important words to live by!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sincerely, A. K. Buckroth, Author, Speaker<\/p>\n
