Charles Connor is the original pioneering drummer for Little Richard, and the man whom the "Godfather of Soul", James Brown, said, "Was the first to put the funk into the rhythm." As one of history's few successful left-handed drummers, the New Orleans-born Connor, created the "Choo-Choo Train" drumming style, which consists of eight notes. It has been used by nearly all subsequent Rock 'n' Roll drummers, whether they know it or not. Among the classic recordings featuring Connor's trademark drumming are Little Richard's "Keep A-Knockin'," "She's Got It," and "Ooh! My Soul." In addition to Little Richard and James Brown, Connor has worked with such Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers as Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Lloyd Price and the Original Coasters. He has appeared in the film "The Girl Can't Help It." (co-starring Jayne Mansfield, Edmund O'Brien, and Tom Ewell); "Don't Knock the Rock," and "Mr. Rock 'n' Roll." Not one to rest on his past laurels, Connor remains a contemporary man who has succeeded as a devoted family man, author, songwriter, teacher, voice-over talent, media interview subject and public speaker. In his speaking appearances, he encourages both young and mature people to "Aim High and Achieve," and to "Never Give Up Your Dreams." Combining humor and wisdom, he offers practical advice that can benefit anyone. When he discusses such issues as taking responsibility, conquering anger and, remaining humble, Connor never talks down to people. He grabs their attention because he has the credibility of one who has " been there and done that." It is an inspirational story of how a young, struggling and hungry musician overcame obstacles such as racial prejudice, to become a career and personal success. Connor's basic message is that anyone, regardless of his or her age or circumstances, can change for the better.

Winner of a 2017 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work, this moving manifesto “empowers women to access a fearlessness that will enable community progress” (Essence). Through one incredible woman’s journey from a small Zimbabwe village to becoming one of the world’s most recognizable voices in women’s empowerment and education, this book “can help any woman achieve her full potential” (Kirkus Reviews). Before Tererai Trent landed on Oprah’s stage as her “favorite guest of all time,” she was a woman with a forgotten dream. As a young girl in a cattle-herding village in Zimbabwe, she dreamed of receiving an education but instead was married young and by eighteen, without a high school graduation, she was already a mother of three. Tererai encountered a visiting American woman who assured her that anything was possible, reawakening her sacred dream. Tererai planted her dreams deep in the earth and prayed they would grow. They did, and now not only has she earned her PhD but she has also built schools for girls in Zimbabwe, with funding from Oprah. The Awakened Woman: A Guide for Remembering & Igniting Your Sacred Dreams is her accessible, intimate, and evocative guide that teaches nine essential lessons to encourage all women to reexamine their dreams and uncover the power hidden within them—power that can recreate our world for the better. Tererai points out that there is a massive, untapped, global resource in women who have, for one reason or another, set aside their wisdom, their skills, and their dreams in order to take care of the personal business of their lives. Not only is this a type of invisible suffering experienced by countless women, this rich resource is a secret weapon for improving our world. Women have the capacity to inspire, to create, to transform—and Tererai’s call to action “shines as a beacon of hope to women everywhere” (Danica McKellar, actress and New York Times bestselling author).
