Tish is a soft-hearted, non-confrontational young lady that looks for love in every man she comes in contact with. Her story will take the women readers on an emotional rollercoaster as well as take the men on self-examining journey.

A total page turner and a testimony to all the women who have loved and lost, or been a fool. For all the girls who fill alone about mistakes they’ve made, this book is for you.

“We spend do much time trying to force a happy home, instead of cultivating the one we have”
– Saidah Brown

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Watered Down Wisdom”?

Saidah Brown: I was instructing a class in Philadelphia’s Welfare to Work Program. I worked there as a Life Skills Instructor.

After one of my many motivational classes, a student walked up to me and said, “Ms. Brown, you are so wise.”

I laughed a little and said to her, “My wisdom is a little watered down, Love. I’m not smarter than you – just made more mistakes than you, LOL”

“Put Up Or Get Shut Down” is a bold and sassy “up in your face” excursion into the urban motorcycle world. In this very exciting tale, you’ll meet Salty Dog. He’s a narcissistic brother with an ego big enough to match the horsepower of his chrome 1300 Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle.

Throughout this epic journey, you’ll learn about the scandalous women who lurk around the urban motorcycle scene looking for a opportunity to get a “ride” in one way or another from the motorcycle brothers. You’ll also get a chance to see how Salty Dog squirms as he defends the races he wins and puts together.

You’ll have to either put up or get shut down trying to flee from this humorous urban tale.
