An estimated 160,000 U.S. children miss school every day due to fear of being attacked or intimidated by other students. Eighty-three percent of girls and 79 percent of boys report experiencing harassment. Six out of 10 teenagers say they witness bullying in school once a day. Author, Lenora Lassiter was inclusive in the statistical account stated above. Her traumatizing experiences, and there were many during her years growing up, have incited her to address what is now epidemic across the country. Fighting from Darkness: How Long Will You Color Greatness, is an eye opening account of Lenora's tumultuous and heart wrenching journey on a road paved with bullying and vicious insults solely motivated by her skin color and ailments. Living with dark skin felt like a curse. She asked God “Why?” she was born with more melanin and desired to be lighter skinned. Readers who connect to this intimate story are certain to find healing and self love within the pages of Lenora's overcoming testimony of sheer humiliation and rejection to liberation from defeat and finally winning the battle that kept her a prisoner for years.
