 Empowerment and self love have been the driving force for D. Anne Browne since she began her writing career in 1979. It was during that year she began to spread the gospel of health and fitness to the African American community through a series of articles titled, “For The Health of It.”
By the mid 1980’s D. Anne began to notice how the literature of the time encouraged an analytical approach to the universality of human development. In response to the needs of the African American community, D. Anne began to focus her thinking and her writing on the concepts of self actualization.
By the early 1990’s her first literary attempt was to provide “self help” material which did not endorse a morbid fascination with the suffering of others as a precursor to development. D. Anne has already realized her dreams of becoming a competitive bodybuilder, free-lance writer, commercial artist, computer programmer, personal trainer and physical therapist assistant and web site developer.
Her first book (You Can Get There From Here: Life Lessons On Growth & Self Discovery For The Black Woman), though not autobiographical was based on many of her personal beliefs. Encouraged by the success of that book, D. Anne began to shift her thinking to ways of addressing the crisis between African American men and women.
Through careful research and interviews, D. Anne began to compile a body of work which not only addressed many social issues facing African Americans overall. She has taken her work a step further by examining the Black male psyche and sexuality, the manifestation of cultural ignorance in American society and the patterns of self destruction which have plagued African American communities. D. Anne Browne directs and dedicates her work, That Old Black Magic: Essays, Images and Verse on the Joys of Loving Black Men to African American men.
D. Anne plans to self-publish and distribute this book in the future. Until then, she devotes herself to the book's offspring, www.agoodblackman.com. The web site she created to honor, uplift and support positive Black men.
