She has visited locations and cities in Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and other countries, establishing strong, individual presences in them that have resulted in rich, contemporary experiences.

That is what these stories are about.In her book, Johnnie Mae writes about the life and the play of the African communities. She writes of strong and soft hearts of the African people, how it keeps beating, sending off knowledge, pleasures and wonders of the Motherland. The book is not academic or political. It is simply about African American Johnnie Mae Moore and her experiences in Africa.In her own words, Johnnie Mae Moore says about My Beloved Africa - Farewell, "These experiences are about ME. They have given ME pleasure, adventure and insight into the culture of my ancestors in order to understand my own life. I am a wiser, stronger, older, kinder and happier person because of it."Excerpts may be found and autographed copies ordered at www.afgasalon.org/johnnie
