Patricia Bailey-Jones had led mission trips to nearly 100 nations the year she read an article about Angola-a country in southern Africa that just ended a bloody, 27-year civil war in 2002. "That article gripped me," she says. "In it a father took his [5-year-old] daughter to a hotel and offered her room to room for sex to foreign businessmen. The spirit of God stood up on my inside, and I was compelled to do something."
That compulsion has since led her to Angola three times. On her most recent trip last spring, she distributed laptops and materials donated by U.S. churches and businesses to build better bathrooms at the largest school in Angola's capital, Luanda. "We love you, and these laptops represent people in America who love you," Bailey-Jones told students at Vida Abondante (Abundant Life) School, which is run by area pastors and educates more than 5,000 students in the poverty-stricken suburb of Boa Vista; the name, ironically, means beautiful view.

THE DEFINITION OF A REAL WOMAN
A real woman is true to herself.
She holds her head up high.
She doesn't waddle in pity;
or sit back and cry.
A real woman is a survivor.
She can stand on her own feet.
With God by her side,
she can't be beat.
A real woman has courage;
she has spunk and grace.
Even when she is down,
she has a smile upon her face.
A real woman will make it.
A real woman will excel.
She will keep on striving,
whether she wins or fails.

A REAL WOMAN
I am a woman of substance. I walk with pride.
I have a style of my own. My elegance comes from inside.
I hold my head high; not ashamed of my past.
I am a real woman; a real woman at last.
No one knows the pain I've been through.
No one knows how I've suffered too.
I am a real woman. I can survive this race.
I can keep it together, and keep a smile on my face.
A real woman; strong and wise.
I ignore the jealousy; I ignore the lies.
I'm real and very true from the heart.
I'll let you know this from the start.
Surviving the worst, and taking care of my needs.
I am a real woman; a real woman indeed.

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART COMING DECEMBER 2008
Bertha Davis returns with one of the most poignant, compelling and substantial poetry works and symbolically entitled, Straight From The Heart. She has won critical acclaim for her novel, Growing Up In Mississippi and returns with poetry to unleash her spiritual words of wisdom too important for readers to miss.
The poem that will stir your soul is The Tree of Death, which takes the reader through the storms of brutality, racism, and murder of black people during post civil war in people’s retaliation of Black Slaves freedom to painful lynching’s. While many historians would like to hide these crimes that still exist socially and politically, is too important to not remind people of black people’s struggles with only the past 200 years.
Bertha remains true to her spiritual journey as a writer who is here to make her mark in history. She has a story to tell, words of wisdom to share, and deepened reflections of struggle. Bertha Davis continues to excel as a YOUnity Guild 5 Star Award Recipient by penning outstanding books each year.
Her reign is miraculous, her words incredible, and her poetry is remarkable. A TRUE RENISSANCE WOMAN OF POETRY & GIFT OF STORY is Reborn. This time Bertha holds the reign as a Queen of Spiritual Poetry.
