For centuries, color has played an amazing, astonishing, and integral role in the lens through which each individual views the world. Colors, in their vast array and hues, have explained scientific phenomena, promoted health and well-being, influenced our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by impacting subliminal schemas, and have been effectively utilized in branding and marketing. These are just a few of the many ways color has been used to paint our world, govern our emotions, illuminate our thoughts, and exert mastery over our behavior. It is safe to say that color psychology has and will forever reverberate as the chromism- the very backdrop that paints a picturesque, interwoven tapestry of stories representing the colorful fabric of our lives, especially as powerful, culturally competent, and trailblazing women of the 21st century.

The dynamism of color is emotive. We evoke emotions, feelings, and thoughts through colors. In this series of vignettes, written by amazing heroines who utilize color to weave an intricate discourse with the reader, we have heard the adage: "Black is beautiful." From Nubian complexions representing the African diaspora, in its vast array of hues, this treatise shows that blackness evokes power, pride, and regalness. The color black is also representative of challenging life lessons and dark mental spaces where prayer and therapy helped to bring illumination.

From the color black to the color purple, with its regal innuendos, to the dawning of a new day with yellow and orange hues as the sun rises and sets.-life unfolds on life's terms, as some of the authors grapple with new beginnings, power moves, and agonizing defeats. Whatever the color, a myriad of moods and behaviors are indoctrinated and influenced hu COLOR! Different Shades Of A Mother is a profound literary exploration of this color dynamic. Get ready for the journey.
