Comments from people who have read “Go Girl” or heard/seen a lecture or show given by Elaine Lee:

“Thank you so much for all of the suggestions and information that you provided during your talk at the Chicago Black Expo. I am extremely proud of you, you are a real go-getter, a modern day Zora. Keep up the good work, sistah.

“Your book is terrific. Even my 82-year old mother, who never travels, loves it. “I couldn’t put it down” she said, after sneaking away my copy.”

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation at Sisterspace. It gave me a much needed shot in the arm to plan another trip.

I heard you on WLIB-Am in New York City yesterday and you sounded really great I was moved to tears when I read your observations about being treated like a “human being” in your travels…many of us are not aware of the stress of being an African American until it is taken away from us. Thank you.

Bored, stressed and tired, I stumbled across your website. Reading the articles has given me the courage to travel solo to Europe for the first time.

You are my shero! I saw you on the Travel Channel and went right out to buy your book. I loved it. Keep up the good work.

I decided your book would be perfect reading for a flight. There was a woman sitting next to me and she asked if she could see the book. She told me of her two school age daughters both of whom had expressed an interest in travel. After the flight but before I finished the book, I gave it to her and the next day ran down to my local bookstore and bought another one.

I have had your book for several years and I get excited each time I pick it up.
     Valerie C.

I received your book on a Friday and spent the entire weekend reading it, cover to cover. It was wonderful.
     Donna R.

I have just started your book and have been overwhelmed by the depth and power of each essay. Its great to know that there are other black women out there who feel the need to explore all of God’s creation.
     Michelle B.

I enjoyed reading your book tremendously. It was as if I wrote it myself. It reminded me of when I traveled abroad for the first time and realized how stressed out I was as Black woman living in a racist society. My body actually shivered as I shedded the stress and my muscles did something they were not accomstomed to doing…relax! Thanks for telling the sisters the importance of travel.

You should feel proud because you are empowering us to experience the world just by reading your book.
