"A stunning picture of a black woman's coming of age in America. Put it on the shelf beside The Autobiography of Malcolm X." --Kirkus Reviews Elaine Brown assumed her role as the first and only female leader of the Black Panther Party with these words: "I have all the guns and all the money. I can withstand challenge from without and from within. Am I right, Comrade?" It was August 1974. From a small Oakland-based cell, the Panthers had grown to become a revolutionary national organization, mobilizing black communities and white supporters across the country--but relentlessly targeted by the police and the FBI, and increasingly riven by violence and strife within. How Brown came to a position of power over this paramilitary, male-dominated organization, and what she did with that power, is a riveting, unsparing account of self-discovery. Brown's story begins with growing up in an impoverished neighborhood in Philadelphia and attending a predominantly white school, where she first sensed what it meant to be black, female, and poor in America. She describes her political awakening during the bohemian years of her adolescence, and her time as a foot soldier for the Panthers, who seemed to hold the promise of redemption. And she tells of her ascent into the upper echelons of Panther leadership: her tumultuous relationship with the charismatic Huey Newton, who would become her lover and her nemesis; her experience with the male power rituals that would sow the seeds of the party's demise; and the scars that she both suffered and inflicted in that era's paradigm-shifting clashes of sex and power. Stunning, lyrical, and acute, this is the indelible testimony of a black woman's battle to define herself. "A glowing achievement." --Los Angeles Times"Honest, funny, subjective, unsparing, and passionate. . . A Taste of Power weaves autobiography and political history into a story that fascinates and illuminates." --The Washington Post

Great sunscreen!
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Eucerin Sunscreen works well and applies cleanly, not greasy. I spend a lot off time outdoors and I am satisfied with the sun protection this product provides.

Don’t rub, break it down between your fingers and dab!!
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great sunscreen. The first time I applied it, i made the mistake of rubbing it in so it gave me a white cast. I learned my mistake the second time, spreading it in between my fingers and than dabbing it on my face, it gives a cast at first but after a few minutes it went away. And it feels so good. like I’m not wearing anything. I tried the tinted sunscreen it feels good but it made me look orange. I used to wear the Eucerin Daily Lotion spf 30 but they discontinued so I had to look for a replacement and after trying other sunscreens they were all terrible; greasy, allergic reactions and too creamy! This one’s perfect, it’s definitely my new go to!!

The Only SPF My Skin Will Tolerate!
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After 20 rounds of radiation, I was given a list of exactly four things I could put on my face--things like water and Vaseline. Of course, I was also instructed to wear SPF in "all visible light." However, finding a sunscreen my skin could tolerate proved to be a challenge, as even those made with clean ingredients, marketed for babies, and/ or claiming to be hypoallergenic resulted in hot, angry rashes. Price point also didn't matter; I tried everything from drugstore to premium brands.
Thankfully, when this product came on the market, my dermatologist suggested I try it. I've been wearing it ever since. It IS thick so I usually rub any remaining face moisturizer into my palms and then add the Sunscreen, rubbing and warming it between my palms to make it more easily spreadable. Then I press it onto the skin on my face with my palms and fingers--I don't like to pull or tug too much at the skin on my face. At first, there is a visible white cast, but it disappears within a couple of minutes.
If I'm really in a hurry, now I can mix a tiny bit of my foundation into the sunscreen so that it spreads faster and I can move on from the white cast faster--I know I lose some sun protection factor that way, but my derm says I also gain some protection in the tinting, so it's okay. The important thing is that I get it on in whatever time I have.
I'm just grateful to have found something that doesn't upset my crazy-sensitive skin! Wishing all you sensitive beauties protected fun in the sun...

Good sun protection without chemicals, without a high price.
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've bought this a couple of times. I feel like it gives excellent sun protection at a reasonable price. I mostly use it on my face. When I first apply it, it looks a little white and pasty, but it doesn't take long for that to go away. It's a little greasy at first , but I have dry skin, so I it absorbs in. I like using a sunscreen that doesn't have a lot of chemicals. This works well while using ingredients I feel good about putting on my skin.

A very effective sunscreen at a very reasonable price
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is very reasonably priced but would I love about this product more than anything is how effective it is at protecting your skin and will be my first go to when purchasing a sunscreen, and for a man, it is best to be clean shaven when using, and not to put on too much as it will make you look like Casper the ghost if you do
