Don't Make a Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings

Tyler Perry is a playwright, producer, director, composer, and actor. He is the creative force behind ten theatrical productions that have toured nationally. He is also the writer, producer, and star of the recent number-one hit movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman. His second feature film Madea's Family Reunion, which he wrote, produced, directed, and stars in, is scheduled for release in February 2006. Don't Make a Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings is his first book.

Listeners, prepare yourselves for hilarity with Tyler Perry's continuing stream of ³wisdom² from Madea, aka Mabel Simmons, grandmother and matriarch extraordinaire. Madea is in her natural medium--that's the talking medium--even though she's immortalized on TV and in the recent movie MEET THE BROWNS. She dishes out two-to-six-minute skits on men, money, manners, and a range of bizarre but heartfelt other topics that will keep listeners delighted. You'd be hard-pressed to choose the funniest sketch as Madea speaks her mind on so many themes of life: ³Speak your mind or lose it.² Tyler Perry makes the most of this audio form, and his own heartfelt epilogue gives a glimpse into the creative spirit who brings us Madea--heart, soul, smart-mouth, and all.
