المرأة اللغز: من هي كولا بوف...ومات هي صلتها بالسودان؟؟

Quote: Young Kola Boof Born on the Nile River in Omdurman, Sudan…Naima Bint Harith(Kola Boof) came to the United States after her parents, Egyptian archeologist Harith Bin Farouk and his only wife, Jiddi, (a charcoal Gisi-Waaq of Somalia's Oromo nomads), were murdered in Kola's presence for having spoken out against slavery and the oppression of Black Africans under the rule of Sudan's Arab-Islamic political factions. Kola Boof, who was born on March 3, 1972 at 2:14 in the afternoon, (according to the Government of Sudan birth records which are disputed by Boof's Egyptian family who say she was born in 1969), was put up for adoption by her Egyptian grandmother, Najet Kolbookek, because the grandmother felt that Kola's skin color was too dark for inclusion in her father's Arabic family. Boof was sent to England to live with an Ethiopian family, but they soon rejected the child as well…because they feared she might be "a witch." They complained that Naima was just "too smart, too talkative" for a girl child. She was let for adoption again…and placed this time with an African-American family in Washington, D.C.'s lower class neighborhood, Anacostia Park. The Black Americans welcomed young Naima with open arms and the author found her sanctuary. Says Kola Boof today, "I knew that I was special and that I had been placed with very special people in a very special paradise. I felt that something magical was going to happen. You must understand that the Black Americans are very magical people-because their hearts are broken." Unfortunately, Kola Boof's initial life as the child of Black Americans was not all peaches and cream. The author had to adjust to having her hair straightened ("Which I deeply resented for many years, but now I like it"). She also had to learn English, which was difficult, and she credits the soap opera, "Another World", as being her main teacher (*she became a ghost writer for "Days of Our Lives" and two other soaps in 2006). She had to deal with the self-hatred of the Black American community, the experiences of which are so riveting and dramatic that they held me, Yi Nee Ling, spellbound as she recounted them in graphic detail in her upcoming memoir, DIARY OF A LOST GIRL, (the book is now available at Amazon.Com). Kola Boof says she became a writer because of women like Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Gayl Jones, Gloria Naylor, Nawal el Sadaawi and…the late white author, Jaqueline Susann. Boof says, "Valley of the Dolls was the first book I ever read. It's not literature, many consider it trash, but that book got me addicted to reading. Then I found Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye…and that changed my life. It planted art inside me and it possessed me, because at fourteen, it was the first time that I had heard somebody tell the truth in America
