Sunny Nash

Sunny Nash is the author of "Bigmama Didn't Shop At Woolworth's," about life with her Part-Comanche grandmother during the Civil Rights Movement. The book was chosen by the Association of American University Presses as a Book for Understanding U.S. Race Relations and recommended by the Miami-Dade Public Library System for Native American Collections.

Robin Fruble of Southern California said, "Every white person in America should read this book (Bigmama Didn't Shop At Woolworth's)! Sunny Nash writes the story of her childhood without preaching or ranting but she made me realize for the first time just how much skin color changes how one experiences the world. But, if your skin color is brown, it matters a great deal to a great number of people. I needed to learn that. Sunny Nash is a great teacher," Fruble said.

Sunny Nash is a biographer for the African American National Biography by Harvard and Oxford universities. Nash's photography toured internationally with the Smithsonian Exhibition, "Reflections in Black, A History of Black Photographers 1840 - Present," published by W.W. Norton. Former syndicated newspaper contributing columnist for Hearst and Knight-Ridder newspapers, Nash earned a Journalism/Mass Communications Degree from Texas A&M University, College Station; Honors Diploma in Media Law, London School of Journalism; Certificate in Copyright Law, Harvard University; a Graduate Award in Instructional Technology/Teaching Online, University of California, San Diego; and others.
