Love’s Troubadours

Official Website/Ananda’s Blog/Buy the Book

Ananda Leeke came to my attention a few months ago after posting a comment on a previous Cocoa’s Corner entry about Howard University’s alumni networking site The Bison Roundup. In her post she mentioned that she’d written a book called Love Troubadours: Karma Book One, I was immediately intrigued by the description of the main character, Karma. The author describes her as a thirtysomething Oakland-born BoHo B.A.P. (Bohemian Black American Princess) with Louisiana roots and urban debutante flair who’s life in an uproar. Her relationships and the museum curator career that she struggled to form in New York City have crumbled, leaving no viable options to rebuild. Relocating to Washington, DC, Karma struggles with denial, depression, and debt. A lack of full-time employment opportunities forces her to craft a gypsy existence as a Jill of Many Trades: yoga teacher, art consultant, and freelance curator at Howard University Gallery of Art. Unable and unwilling to appreciate these jobs as gifts, she wallows in a pool of lost identity-and doesn’t see a way to keep from drowning. When she looks in the mirror, Karma sees a woman whose choices have dishonored her true character. Now, for the first time in her life, Karma must learn to see herself for who she really is. After reading the book and learning more about Ananda I invited her to spend some time in Cocoa’s Corner to talk about the book and how important it is for all of us to take time out to honor our true selves.
