"Though there isn’t a Knight in Shining Armor or ‘Happily Ever After’ in this story, it is absolutely a story of hope and strength and empowerment. "

​This is the true story of how my mother and I faced devastating situations and not only fought to hold on to each other when we had nothing left to hold onto, but also to stand strong against the opposition that threatened to make us feel small and invisible. Through it all, we stood together against one of the richest and most prominent men in the world...former NBA Basketball Team Owner Donald Sterling and we had our day in court!

 

If you have ever felt as if all the odds were stacked against you or that you were born to be a statistic and might as well just lie down and give up, our story is an encouraging word to strengthen you; even in the face of insurmountable circumstances. Proving that it doesn’t really matter who you are or where you come from… only that you continue to stand! 

 

"Ebony Jones-Kuye’s autobiography, Stand For Something or Stand For Nothing, is a frank and moving account of her life growing up in the 1970s and '80s in Los Angeles. This nonfiction account reads beautifully, and, at times, I marvelled at the author’s skill in telling her story in such a way that the reader is drawn into everything that happened to her and her mother. I mourned at the news of Chucky’s passing and cheered as Ebony’s intellectual accomplishments were recognized in primary and secondary school. The section of her story that is referred to in the title, namely, the housing battle with Donald Sterling, who essentially denied services to tenants on the grounds of race, reads like a legal thriller. Jones-Kuye states that she wants her story to be an inspiration for others, and, to my mind, she has succeeded brilliantly. Her story is compelling, inspiring and very readable. Stand For Something or Stand For Nothing is most highly recommended (5 Stars)." -Reviewed By Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite, https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/stand-for-something-or-stand-for-nothing
