Publisher Notes

Ten of Monique and Cassandras twenty-five tips… 1. Get your act togetha, so when you finally do meet Mr. Right, he cant resist you. 2. Smile and say "hello" to every Black man you see. 3. Forgive old lovers and make peace with them. 4. Tell everyone you know that youre looking for a husband. 5. Go on as may blind dates as possible. 6. Date men who are not your "type"--you may be pleasantly surprised. 7. If you ask a man a series of questions within the first five minutes of meeting him, hell tell you almost anything you want to know. After that he clams up and wont tell you a thing. 8. If you realize right away he is someone you dont like but does have an interesting job or hobby, he may have a friend whos perfect for you. 9. If hes available and you like him, dont hesitate to let him know. 10. Dress conservatively. If you attract him with your body, how are you going to keep him with your mind? About six years ago, on the eve of her thirtieth birthday, Monique Jellerette was desperate to get married, but couldnt seem to find the right man. A married friend, Cassandra, offered some solid (albeit unsolicited) advice. Monique, determined to do it her own way, suffered through a few more dates from Hell before she realized Cassandras tips might make sense. So she started putting Cassandras suggestions to work, made up a few tricks of her own, and devised a plan of action… Six months later Monique met and married Bob and became Mrs. Monique Jellerette deJongh! Now, in How to Marry a Black Man, Mrs. Monique Jellerette deJongh and Mrs. Cassandra Marshall Cato-Louis share their secrets with women everywhere. Based on Monique and Cassandra's proven techniques, and coupled with the results of all-male focus groups on what Black men are really looking for in a prospective mate, How to Marry a Black Man is part manual/journal and part workbook, and delivers the goods on how to master the dating game and find a husband.

Media Reviews

"Still, for all its twaddle, 'How to Marry a Black Man' impressed me. Not that it isn't replete with New Age silliness, Afrocentric babblings, and pseudo-feminist apologia. But it's also dead-on in many of its observations and definitely useful for women who want to transcend their cynicism, hopelessness, and anger (well-deserved though it is. Not that I'm bitter). What's wrong with wanting to marry? What's wrong with going about it with the same vigor and zip with which we attack our educations, careers, and the Electric Slide? Nothing and nothing."
