Non-Fiction Memoir
Some may know her as hot, gutsy, gun-totin' Foxy Brown,
Friday Foster, Coffy, and Jackie Brown. Others may know her
from her role as Kit Porter on The L Word. But that
only defines one part of the legend that is Pam
Grier.
Foxy is Pam's testimony of her life, past
and present. In it, she reveals her relationships with
Richard Pryor, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Freddie Prinze Sr.,
among others. She unveils her experiences as a backup singer
and a blaxploitation star. In particularly candid and
shocking chapters, she shares-for the first time-her view of
those films and the persecution that blacks, especially
women, needed to endure to make a name for themselves . . .
including how it felt to be labeled one of the most
beautiful women alive, yet not be permitted to try on
clothes in a department store because of the color of her
skin. And in words sure to inspire many, she tells the story
of her ongoing battle with cancer.
From her
disappointments to her triumphs, nothing is held back. With
FOXY, Pam wishes to impart life lessons to her readers-and
hopes to touch their hearts.
