Living Vivaciously Consulting offers SpaJama Parties for the Soul

Spa parties and retreats for women are taking off as a hot new trend across the country, and for good reason. They help women relax, renew, and work on self-improvement. Houston-based Livin Vivaciously Consulting offers SpaJama W.O.R.K.S., a mobile, spiritual "boot camp" spa party and retreat that provides women and teen girls a chance to feel secure, let their guard down, and focus on becoming spiritually and emotionally equipped to persevere past struggle to success, all while wearing their favorit pajamas.

"Many women and teens don't even realize how often they engage in self-sabotage. They concentrate on the negatives, and in the process, tear down their spirit", explains Nekisha-Michelle Bakre, Living Vicaciously Consulting president and retreat facilitator. The SpaJama W.O.R.K.S. experience is a girlfriend getaway that helps participants transform those struggles and mindsets and embrace Bakre's concept of iSPA - "I Speak and Practice Abundance".

Other 2008 honorees are Haki R. Madhubuti (Third World Press); W. Paul Coates (Black Classic Press); Kassahun Checole (Africa World Press) and Cheryl Willis Hudson and Wade Hudson (Just Us Books).

Past honorees include Maya Angelou, Chinua Achebe, Sonia Sanchez, Walter Mosley, Octavia Butler, Ishmael Reed, Ruby Dee, John A. Williams, Walter Dean Myers, Amiri Baraka, Eloise Greenfield, Omar Tyree and other notable authors.

Rose states, "I am very honored and proud to have been selected as a 'Wheatley Book Award' recipient, following in the footsteps of the many distinguished awardees who have vastly contributed to the literacy of all Americans, but particularly people of African descent. I applaud Max Rodriguez for creating such an important platform in recognition of the literary achievements of the men and women who had the foresight and fortitude to make a difference in our communities and the world."

The 2008 awards foreshadow an expansion to honor more writers in various categories from African and the African Diaspora experience. Max Rodriguez said, "Through this year's honorees, we acknowledge the diversity of our reading public; next, we will embrace those writers and publishers who contribute to our awareness as a global community."

The Wheatley Book Awards celebrates 40 Years of Black Book Publishing, a red carpet, award program, and reception for the founders of modern black publishing as the opening event of the 2008 10th Anniversary of the Harlem Book Fair. The event will be held on Friday, July 18, 2008, at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, 515 Malcolm X Boulevard in Harlem, New York, with a reception starting at 6:30pm.




The Award program was named after Phillis Wheatley, the first published African American poet whose writings helped create the genre of African American literature. She was born in in 1753 in Gambia, Africa, became a slave at age seven and was purchased by the Boston Wheatley family, who taught her to read and write, and helped encourage her poetry.
