It focuses on self-help for the African-American woman who desires to strengthen her relationship with her husband or partner, either as a full-time support system, a full-time business partner, or by working full time in a separate career; and it gives you clarity on how you can make a difference to your husband, your family, your community or your nation.
According to former Bennett College Coordinator of Counseling and Upscale Magazine Lifestyle Editor Kitty Pope, "Beside Every Great Man" details the concept that history often neglects, and some people overlook: Beside every great man, there stands a woman who has helped him to achieve. Like many of our nationally-renowned African American men who have become corporate giants, civil rights leaders, entertainment industry moguls or famous preachers, the women in their lives supported them in their efforts wholeheartedly."
To guide you in your efforts to help your great man reach his goals, Kitty Pope gives you easy-to-follow advice on topics such as: The Successful Wife, The Dual Career Wife, The Supportive Wife & Sacrifice, Understanding Your Man, The Spiritual Man and The Man Who Gives Back. "Beside Every Great Man" profiles thirty very important women who chose to work beside their famous husbands in their mission to become successful, powerful and spiritual African American men, including: Jada Pinkett Smith (wife of Will Smith), Kimora Simmons (wife of Russell Simmons), Camille Cosby (wife of Bill Cosby), Serita Jakes (wife of T.D. Jakes), Tracy Edmonds (wife of Babyface), Alma Powell (wife of Colin Powell), Eunice Johnson (wife of John Johnson), Gloria Gary (wife of Attorney Willie Gary), Coretta Scott King (wife of Dr. Martin Luther King) and Betty Shabazz (wife of Malcolm X).
