bric tv ballet Valerie Graves' Talks Her Book "Pressure Makes Diamonds," and How to Become a Writer | BK Live

Who we are goes much deeper than the surface of our features. Pressure Makes Diamonds: Becoming the Woman I Pretended to Be explores this theme.

Pressure Makes Diamonds is the memoir of a black woman's journey from the projects of Motown-era Michigan to the skyscrapers of Madison Avenue and beyond. With marches, riots, and demonstrations as the backdrop, and rock 'n' roll as a soundtrack, this book accompanies Graves as she traverses the seismically shifting terrain of 1960s and '70s America on her quest to "be somebody."

The Author and creative guru, Valerie Graves, whom Advertising Age magazine named one of the "100 Best and Brightest" in the entire industry.

Regina Brooks is the founder and president of Brooklyn-based Serendipity Literary Agency LLC. Her agency has represented a diverse base of award-winning clients in adult and young adult fiction, nonfiction, and children’s literature. Writer’s Digest magazine named Serendipity Literary Agency as one of the top 25 literary agencies of 2004.
