Read Comanches and Colored Girls
Sunny Nash's book features stories about life with Bigmama, during the Civil Rights Movement in the Jim Crow Bryan, Texas, not the only Jim Crow area in the U.S. and certainly not the worst, and most certainly not restricted to ethnicity. Jim Crow ignored no one without means and some with means.
Nash compiled Bigmama Didn't Shop At Woolworth's using a selection of articles from her nationally syndicated column. She emphasized her family's struggle with the effects Jim Crow had on their lives, while at the same time, giving Nash a life as close as possible to that of a little princess with books to fuel her imagination, summer and holiday travel away from Jim Crow country to give her a glimpse beyond the limits set by her Candy Hill neighborhood and Jim Crow.
Nash leads and publishes a variety of projects--business, renewable energy, technology, Intellectual Property, history and a range of societal and critical human interest research areas--many of which she helps other to create. A life-long global student herself, Sunny Nash is also a passionate instructor in an evolving world of electronics and renewable systems knowledge.
Sunny Nash graduated from Texas A&M University, College Station, Journalism; Graduate Diploma, Media Law, London School of Journalism UK; Postgraduate Diploma, Project Management, London School of International Business, UK; Post Graduate Certificates, Legal Research Methods, Cambridge Management & Leadership School UK; and The Galileo Master Certificate, Renewable Energy Engineering, European Centre of Technology, UK; and Postgraduate Studies, University of California, San Diego CA; Harvard; Stanford ; and University of London.

“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,” said Robin Fruble of Southern California.
