“There were these two women, these two beautiful, wonderful women, and I said, ‘Well, let me check it out.’ It took me about two seconds to say, ‘stardom.’” – DONALD J. TRUMP

“Diamond and Silk are a national treasure, and their astonishing, heartwarming story is nothing less than an American classic. Get ready to be bowled over.” – MARK LEVIN

Who Are Diamond and Silk?

Donald Trump’s biggest fans. A national treasure. A force of nature. A political awakening that can’t be stopped. And a natural anti-depressant. Diamond and Silk are all that and more.

The very sight and sound of these insightful and ebullient ladies lifts spirits and opens minds. Diamond and Silk are a unique phenomenon impossible to pigeonhole—or to control.

And now they tell their own story for the first time. In this account of their amazing journey, told in their own inimitable and irresistible voices, you’ll learn:
  • How the sisters Lynette and Rochelle Hardaway—a.k.a. Diamond and Silk—“were created for such a time as this”
  • How the bridge between their mother’s sharecropping family and their father, a middle-class business owner, shaped their characters
  • Why being “preacher’s kids” was a blessing—and a challenge
  • How working in North Carolina textile plants gave Diamond and Silk early insight into the way NAFTA was hurting Americans and exporting jobs to Mexico
  • Why they supported Donald Trump from the minute he announced his candidacy
  • Why Diamond and Silk will never desert Trump—despite being offered large monetary rewards to switch candidates
  • How social media moguls tried to shut them down and shut them up, lied to them, and gave them the run around
  • How after gaslighting them for 6 months, 29 days, 5 hours, 40 minutes, and 43 seconds, Facebook made the preposterous claim that Diamond and Silk were “unsafe for the community”
  • Practical advice for succeeding the Diamond and Silk way: why “rejection is God’s protection—and redirection” and “your haters make you greater"

Want to learn about race in America from Builders instead of Destroyers?

Get an eyewitness glimpse of how far we've come in terms of racial equality--and what we can achieve today in America if we're willing to work for it. Diamond and Silk give us a front row seat to what can be accomplished in America if you have brains, confidence, and are willing to explore your options and stand up for yourself--regardless of whether you're black or white. Inspiring and fun to read--it's like listening to their podcasts, with the bonus of getting their entire "back" story in one place. P.S. It's so easy for naysayers who have accomplished nothing of lasting value in their lives to poke fun at Diamond & Silk and their amazing parents, but ignore that clueless "background noise" and take a look for yourself. Great job, ladies! Thanks for reminding me of what determination and a righteous family can achieve, regardless of where they started out. Godspeed!

An excellent read!

I have looked forward to reading this book for some time. It only took a few hours to read. I enjoyed reading about Diamond and Silk's history in politics and beyond. They are two great patriots and I love what they stand for!

Great story

Great story about American family values, right and wrong. Enjoyable read. Love these girls.

Inspiring American Women

I would recommend this book to anyone who needs an uplifting real life story. To women who think they can't succeed. Also, to anyone who needs a reality check on what it means to be REAL and achieve against the odds. Diamond and Silk share so many life lessons that are applicable. Many readers can say, yes that happened to me too, they draw you in like you are having a family conversation you can learn from. Brilliant! A true lesson in perseverance and being, your authentic self. I love these two true American women.

great book

these 2 sisters are amazing & I loved their book

NOW is the time!

Encouraging, Inspiring, a call to action! Keep America Great! Get out and vote!

Like a good conversation

I like the loose feel of the book, and it's what you'd want from them if you listen to their podcast. The book jumps back and forth from one girl speaking to the other speaking, by italicizing what Silk says to separate it from what Diamond says. The book reads like dialogue in a play.

Book not signed ;(

I received my copy of Diamond and Silk's book Uprising. I can't wait to read it! I was one of the first people to order the book last December. It was advertised as an autographed copy to people who pre-ordered the book. However, I received the book today, but to my disappointment, it was not signed. I love these ladies! Just hate that this book wasn't autographed.

Two American Treasures

I first saw these two ladies on Facebook and I was amazed that they were saying just what I was also thinking . They are serious , funny and oh so smart!! I love listening to them and cheering them on. Keep telling the truth on your videos because you two are among the very few who do. I will keep listening! Don’t ever change . You are like two Angels in a sea of devils. God bless you both. Loved the book!

Excellent Read

Just finished the book. Fast read by two funny, articulate, smart, courageous women! Love the story and bits of wisdom included throughout. Would highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in how to accomplish a dream in America. Should be a compulsory read for kids in school. Thanks Diamond and Silk for your honesty and perseverance. May God Bless you both

Fantastic Read and a wonderful story

I received my copy on August 19th; I started reading and I didn't stop until finished page 113. Wow! So for next 3 days I picked it up and continued reading. I loved it. What I loved the most was reading about your time in that garment factory and how both you handled yourselves during adversities. I first learned about Diamond and Silk from those YouTube videos. The more I watched the more I admired both of you. Your belief in the certainty of Trumps victory was intriguing. When he won, I like so many others, couldn't believe he did it. I was so touched by your steadfastness that I wanted to know "How in the world did he defeat a seasoned politician life Hilary Clinton." So I started on a research journey that lasted until February 2016. I looked at every presidential race from 1916 thru 2016 [100 years] and now I know how President Trump won. I will be publishing my manuscript titled "How Presidential Elections Are Won" by September 15th 2020. But I would have never done anything had both you Diamond and Silk proved that we can do anything if we believe in God and don't give up our dreams. Richard

you will become inspired

Absolutely love this book. It shows history, victory and best of all transparency. One of the best books I have read in a long time!

I was glad to meet the real Diamond and Silk in this book

I was presently surprised by this book. They used the clever technique of having Diamond's voice in normal print and Silk's voice in italics. So it was just like them talking. You also got to see how before fame came rushing upon them, they were very hardworking girls from an all-American background - rags to riches. The story of their work in the fabric mills really shows you the caliber of people they are and what they are made of. And the way they rose to fame, their amazement at it, and then their excitement at having achieved it was fun to read. You also get to see what each of us who love and support President Trump knows: that the opposition in the government and in the media is truly immense and pathological. I loved hearing how the Trump family appreciated them so much. I am also glad they cleared up that whole Fox Nation issue; there must be some real Trump enemies there. What is so great in this book is these sisters can-do, trust God, keep on truckin' attitude. But you do see the toll that so much hate and lying can take on people. But they are unstoppable!

Being 100%

Diamond & Silk tell about themselves and how they became such ardent supporters have of candidate (and then President) Trump. The road has rarely been smooth, but they are overcomers. The book is written exactly the way they speak. Their endearing accents come through as clearly as their sincerity.

Real deal!

This is a good book! I got 3 words for this book. Genuine, authentic and real! You can read this book in both these ladies tones, thats how you know it's genuine. They're not fake! They touch on their struggles and that's how you know it's authentic. Their childhood could be yours or mine, not some pompous privileged career politician's or someone who got rich because mom or dad. That's how you know it's real!!! Love it. This is a genuine book of real success through no favors and no association to big names! Real people wrote this book!!

Lots a Love Diamond and Silk!

I loved the book and had a hard time putting it down. You answered several questions that I had. Come Hell or high water I’m voting for Donald John Trump on November 3, 2020.

Couldn't put it down.

Really enjoyed the read. I love these girls and I love Donald J. Trump!

Outstanding!

I’ve been a big fan of Diamond & Silk’s since I first saw them on Facebook. Then I saw the notice that said they’d been banned from Facebook which is normal for conservative voices, especially black voices. Happily I found them again on Twitter and saw that they’d written a book. The book is well-written and thoroughly engaging. The first 30 pages or so, give the background of these amazing ladies, with their preacher parents, and how they learned about small businesses through their parents laundry business, and working in a factory that made the cloth. All of this set them up to understand what was happening in our country with NAFTA As the ladies saw jobs leaving for China and factories closing, along with illegals coming into to take the jobs that were left, for less money. D & S heard Trump speak and the rest is history. These determined ladies, started a movement to elect the man they felt would finally free the country of the stranglehold of the Left who seemed determined to gut our manufacturing, weaken our military, keep us divided by race and flood us with illegal immigrants until America finally fell. D & S started with videos until they had a gathering of of Americans who were also seeing the light, until Melania Trump noticed them and introduced them to her husband. What I found so inspiring about this book, is how these ladies built an empire out of their values, and despite being belittled by so many of their own race for, as the ladies put it ‘daring to have an opinion that wasn’t from the Left’, they preserved and are now famous. They were even invited to congress to testify about their banning from Facebook, while Zuckerberg was testifying. What I found shocking, was the Maxine Waters was one of the rudest to D & S, pretending she didn’t understand the dates of when Facebook canceled Diamond & Silk. I was stunned that for all their talk about lifting up the black people, the people in power(Dems) seemed determined to keep a successful pair of women down. Shameful. This book is not only inspiring, but also gives so much good information on just exactly how the black populace is being ‘kept on the plantation’ with lies, liquor stores, drugs and abortion clinics, that it’s worth reading for anyone who wants to know what’s really going on. Well done, ladies and keep up the good work.

Diamond and Silk book.

I love these 2 ladies and was disappointed when I received my book and it wasn't signed. Then Amazon wrote and said medal signatures would be mailed to me. Well, that wasn't right. I pre-ordered this book in Dec. because I admire them so much and keeping up the good fight and not quitting. Glory be to God I received a book in today's mail with both their signatures and started reading it while I was having my car inspected. I read their introduction and mom and dad's. Just wonderful people, I wish I could get a hug. Everyone, wants to hug a person/persons who are awesome people. Unless you're on the left. lol These girls deserve everything God can give them. God Bless you, be with you always and keep guiding you to bigger and better things in life! Virtual hug Hug to both of you. Thank you so much for my for real signed book.

Straight talk from real American women

This book is written in the style the sisters also appear in real life—like a give and take conversation between them. It took me a little bit to get used to it; it was not what I was expecting. The book gives you the full flavor of Diamond and Silk—their ideas, their brand, their thinking and their background. I always resisted and negated the idea of systemic racism in this country; sorry, just don't buy it. And although this was in no way a major theme of the book, Diamond and Silk gave me a new way to think about "systemic racism" and it is not what I expected. You can find lots of systemic racism in the ways and means of social democratic policy, like social welfare programs, what they teach in schools, how people are manipulated in voting and so forth. And it isn't just black people (Diamond and Silk don't capitalize 'black,' BTW); you could say it is also impoverished and compromised people regardless of race. What opened my eyes to that was the discussion about COVID and a potential vaccine. The book's last three chapters are worth the price of admission.

Must read

I read this in one day! They tell it like it is and just goes to show how the left has bullied America. This is the book they don’t want you to read. Informative, truthful, and a page turner. Like them, I ditched and switched.

Excellent reading. Truly informative

I first heard about Diamond and Silk while listening to the the Todd Starnes radio show. I fell in love with their rhetoric and their disposition. Sweet as can be but tough on the far left and fake news outlets. This book put everything into perspective. Knowing their background,upbringing and spiritual life, explains the overcoming lives of two celebrities for Christ. Their no nonsense approach is very refreshing during a time where everyone is afraid to challenge the “norm”. This book is worth every penny and time to read it. I couldn’t put it down.

A great read...📚

I really enjoyed reading Diamond & Silk’s new book. I appreciate their life’s journey & their strength❣️It was very informative . It was written just like they speak.& I felt like they were talking directly to me. May they be abundantly blessed in all their endeavors. Having done all STAND faithful servants of the most High❣️

Amazing Story About Two Amazing Women!

This book is worth reading. Not just to know more about these two great sisters, but to know more about the political climate that these women have traveled through. As a white women, from a lower/middle class background, I learned a great deal from this book. I am happy that I read it and implore everyone to get the book. It’s a fast read with a message that may change the course of your life. My only regret, is that I didn’t purchase an autographed copy of the book. It truly is a must read!

It reads like they talk!

Could not put it down! They are two tough ladies & their story is riveting. It's hilarious, informative, and you want to cheer them on through their story of their lives. Love the story.

A great book

Very good read. You really get a feel who diamond and silk are as people’s favorite their rise to fame. They are two no nonsense beautiful women who do not take no crap. you also read how President Trump as a human being in the words of diamond and silk. This is a great book and a good buy.

Awesome book!

This book is so honest and easy to read. Couldn’t hardly put it down! Thanks Diamond and Silk!

Love these gals!

The book was written in an unusual and interesting way in that Diamond talks and Silk talks in a conversational way. They tell interesting tales of their upbringing and how this all came about. It was well written because it was well said. I am glad I bought this book as it sheds good light on two great people and it made for an interesting read. Yes, I read that fast.

Real, and Entertaining

Diamond & Silk are so on fire for what's best for this country. So glad that they are not afraid to speak out and up!! Not only do they tell the truth, they tell it out loud and in a very fun and entertaining way. We need thousands more like these two. What's so great is that they sincerely love the Trumps and the Trumps love ❤️them! Get the book, you won't be sorry! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Can’t put it down

This book will be impossible for you to put it down before you complete it. It was outstanding and gave a true report a behind the scenes and the 2016 nomination and election of President Donald Trump. Diamond and silk are two amazing women who write it as it is. God bless you both

Number one on my book list

I have enjoyed your appearances on television AND really enjoyed (and appreciated) your book. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life experiences. My most favorite thing is your determination to do the right thing when easy or very difficult and with support or not. I am just personally proud of you and what you do. My best wishes and more importantly my prayers.

Hardaway sisters are a national treasure

This a thoughtful, entertaining, and well written book. Diamond and Silk are a national treasure. The left and black elites who pimp out the black underclass are afraid of them because they are sparking a revolution in the minds of black folk and they are backed up by people of all races.

Awesome

Diamond & Silk, THANKYOU for such inspiration! I am blown away by your story. Thank you for your courage, your faith & your humility. I would recommend this book very highly!

Wonderful! Great insight for two beautiful sisters!

I liked how Diamond and Silk shared their lives to tell the reader what happened to them. They do a lot of research to come to their conclusions instead of just following what they have been told in the past. Easy to read and understand how situations can be confused by others. I enjoyed the back and forth between the sisters. It felt like I was sitting at the kitchen table with them listening to their knowledge. Lots of fun! I would recommend.

Couldn’t put it down!

Excellent read!

Now I have Diamond and Silk on my schedule.

Honestly, this book is just like they talk on their podcasts. They write from their heart and it truly feels like God has led them to write stories that will bless us all.

Be Aware of What You’re Being Told

This is a great read on how the media takes stories and push their own agenda. Thanks for bringing awareness to what I saw going on.

Not signed

Was pre-order, spozed to be signed, but it's not. Think that's an Amazon/seller blunder, not Diamond & Silk -- you go girls!

One of the best books I have read in a long time!

Wow! Thank you for allowing your voice to be heard. I enjoyed every last word. I appreciate you and wish you all the best!

Enjoyable read

This was an enjoyable read learning about the background of these sisters and how they came to support Donald Trump. If someone is surprised that this book is support of President Trump they must not be familiar with Diamond & Silk.

Love these ladies

I love the fact that these black conservative ladies are fearless when it comes to telling the rest of the black community what they believe and why they believe it. They have told the black community that they have left the ideological plantation of the democratic party and no body owns their minds. God bless them for it, even though those words in the democrat party is what the cross is to Dracula.

Love Dimond and Silk

I always love to see and hear about these two beautiful women. This is an excellent book. Hard work will definitely get you where you want to be in this world. I told my husband that he needs to read this book. Keep writing about your life and experiences!

Even Better Than Expected

D&S's book was an even bigger pleasure than I thought it would be. I assumed it would strictly focus on their life in political activism, but the girls did a deep dive into their childhood and upbringing. Truly enjoyed it. Loved hearing their perspective on NAFTA.

D&S Are Rock Stars

These two ladies tell it like it is. I would recommend this book to anyone wondering why they are Trump supporters. They have compelling reasons. Their faith roots guide them in everything. Very smart ladies. A must read for all Americans.

True Americans

These women tell their story of growing up in the US and their observation of American politics and it’s effect on their lives in an honest and down-to-earth manner. They tell the truth about Republicans, Democrats and the media. It is so refreshing to hear this from these critical-thinking, hard working, patriotic African Americans.

OMG...

What a read, couldn't put it down! I saw Diamond and Silk on Fox news, there message was everything I believed in my heart that has been transpiring since the 1970's! They are beautiful, articulate, wise, inclusive....the openness in this book is inspiring! Thank you for waking the beast up, hopefully more citizens find their voices too.

Honest heartfelt and inciteful

Diamond and Silk give the facts straight. They are honest, courageous and patriots. Their life story is inspirational and I stand in awe of their success in spite of setbacks. They looked at everything as an opportunity, a blessing. Reading their book is like having a personal conversation with them. As always they are brilliant, and very funny. Mega thanks for being their for the American people and the world. Your boldness is refreshing. A super great read. Enjoy!

Superstars!!

Love these two. The book is a great read. Interesting to learn what happens behind the scenes of such courageous and 'tell it like it is' ladies and how they came to be Diamond and Silk.

Couldn't put this book down!

A genuine adventure! Loved it!

Great Read

Fantastic read. Two fearless women take on the world.

Women of Conviction

I can hear them speaking as I read, and that’s a good thing! Once I started I couldn’t stop. I stayed up all night to read and I enjoyed every minute. Anointed with great insight and intelligence. A must read❤️

Loved every page!

Very engaging from the first page! Honest and frank, Diamond & Silk are the real thing. I appreciate their candor and willingness to share not just one story, but many stories from their lives. Thank you for a great read! Lastly, a standing ovation for your parents, family, and loved ones that influenced your lives and helped you become the amazing young women you are. Thank you for sharing them with us. God Bless you!

Good read but....

I have to say that I'm glad that I purchased this book. Its very fun, spontaneous, insightful and heartwarming, To know what these girls been through is very touching and admirable. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the way it portrays silk in the book. To me it comes off as she's a parrot who repeats every other word that diamond speaks, like she's a lap dog without a sensible word or dialogue of her own. I get it, it's their schtick when they go to public conventions around the world for diamond to be the voice while silk be the yes man (woman) but quite frankly its a little annoying. I would like to hear silk speak up more for a change with her own dialogue, so to speak, than being a person who say "yes" or "mm-hmm" or "that's right" all the time. Overall I am glad with my purchase.

Highly recommend

These ladies are very intelligent and after reading, I came to realize they have more common sense than most of the US.

A fun and educational read

To those of us who are already fans of Diamond and Silk, this book fills in information about their backgrounds and experiences in their chatty banter - you can hear them talking in your head. For people who have been turned off by the Republican Party of late, this book is an important read: it explains in a logical and entertaining fashion why many Democrats have left the fold.

Very helpful background on Diamond and Silk and understanding their perspective

I highly recommend reading if you’re interested in learning about why these ladies transitioned from the Democrat party to support Trump. Their life stories are very interesting and they were taught from a young age to work hard, and have applied that principle throughout their lives. The best thing about them is their honesty and courage to speak their truth, even if that truth brings them backlash from friends and family. Keep speaking truth ladies!

It is Diamond and Silk Ya'll!

These two young sisters tell it like it is and the truth just seems to steam roll all opposition. The pre-order was well worth the wait. Love you!

Good read

I love these ladies. They tell it how it is and everything they sell makes sense. It is a fabulous book.

Genuinely refreshing!

What an uplifting story about two ladies who overcame so many obstacles to become loved and respected by many. The story was so refreshing and genuinely written. A must have for Diamond & Silk fans!

Great, easy read, kept my interest throughout!

I am not a book reader. BUT, I will say this book kept my interest and I read it in one day. I follow Diamond and Silk and when I read the book, I could just hear them talking! This is a good, fun read!

Good people!!!

Love these ladies!!! They tell it like it is & I enjoy them!!! 😊

Enjoyable and uplifting!

So very funny! The book reads just like they interact with one another. Great information about their childhood, lives and experience becoming famous. Very cute, very interesting! Down to earth!

You can hear their voices in the text

Great read, especially if you are already a fan!

Politics For Everyone

Part bio, part political primer, and just great nuggets of wisdom. The book is written in the back and forth dialogue they use on their videos. I read the whole book, but, chapter 15 is a "re-read" chapter for me.That chapter sums up the driving force that propelled the two sisters to change parties.

Awesome book!

AWESOME book!!!! A well written book about two awesome ladies, Diamond and Silk.

A Must Read

This book is a delight ! I really enjoyed it.

Wonderful Book.

This book is wonderful. Disappointed that I did not get the signed edition I ordered.

A Spirited Book that will have you Cheering for Diamond & Silk!

These ladies have worked hard throughout their lives. I admire them for their perseverance! They are wonderful and funny how they banter back and forth with each other. We come from completely different backgrounds but I felt like we had so much in common. I enjoyed reading this book. I wish them every success!

Great book!

I love their raw honesty....a book filled with personal victories and great insight! You will enjoy learning more about these two ladies! I admire their courage and determination to fight for their convictions! A great read!

Great read 👍

Loved this & love these gals

Diamond and Silk are two courageous geniuses.

This book is very good. I am happy I bought and learned about these two outstanding women, who have been saying and writing what they feel even as they are being attacked for their ideas and for their support of President Trump. Their life experiences made them feel and understand the problems of today's American workers, as well as any economist, and they explain them well in this book. It's amazing. At least half of this country's people agrees with them, and I am sure many others will agree with their common sense and honesty.

A must read!

Recomend this book. These ladies are amazing

Great book!

I LOVE this book by Diamond and Silk. It’s so interesting and hard put down. These lovely ladies share their life with us, and are fun and original. Highly recommend!

A Must Read for Every American

I enjoyed every word. Diamond and Silk speak the truth. They are the American Dream. Vote RED. Remove every Democrat. We need to preserve America and it’s Values.

Informative AND funny!!!

I especially liked how these ladies wrote their book as if they're in the same room with each other. Mmmhhhh... It's a page-turner so I've already loaned the book to a friend. It's encouraging to see that people in the black community are waking up and speaking up!!!

Excellent read.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was so interesting and very well told. As a new fan of Diamond and Silk I really feel like I know them now. They are genuine and down to Earth people, just like President Trump. God bless Diamond and Silk, God bless President Trump and God bless America. Thank you ladies for your courage to stand up against the false narratives out there, and there are a lot.

A Must Read for ALL!

Great book! I’m inspired!

Fabulous Read

Loved this book! I highly recommend. It's entertaining and packed full of truth. Hope there is a sequel so I can continue to cheer these beautiful ladies on.

Great read

Very funny ladies telling it like it is

Great read and great ladies

Love these ladies and enjoyed reading their story about what caused them to become Conservatives and abandon the left Dem party and its failure to lift Blacks out of that victimhood mentality.

Inspiring and uplifting!

Thank you for sharing your story! I could not put the book down reading about your challenging childhood to your awesome success as young American women! Your positive message of hard work and faith in God is an inspiration to all Americans!

Food for Thought

Great read! Diamond and Silk tell it straight but with unmatched humor and wisdom. I highly recommend this read. You'll appreciate them and their candor.

Hard pass.

I still don’t understand why these women are famous. They’re loud and have an opinion. Aren’t there millions of them in this country. They’re obnoxious and so is this book.

A must read!

Love these ladies as well as the book! Really shows the media bias of today! But, these two are my heroes for standing up for their beliefs, and not backin down! You go girls! From one Patriot sister to another! Skin color doesn’t matter! We’re all Gods children! And all equal under Him or the government! Love you, Diamond and Silk! ❤️❤️

It's OK

I'll be honest, I expected more. I haven't finished yet, so I won't say it's not good. However, like I said, I expected more. It's written in 1st person with each sister having their own responses to each other. I've read books like that before, so that's not what's wrong. It just hasn't "grabbed" me yet. But, I'm glad I got it so I can say I gave it a try. Perhaps it will get better the more I read.

Very enjoyable read!

Bought as a gift for family member. He really enjoyed the background of these fun ladies. Learned a lot about their rise in recent politics. Highly recommend!

Love Diamond and Silk!!

I enjoyed reading this book. Learned a lot about these two smart hilarious, well informed and sincerely good people. A good read

Great Read....but not signed even though I preordered!

Although I am Enjoying reading this book, I am also sad because I pre ordered it because I wanted it to be a signed copy. Perhaps that was only an offer if you went to their website, and not Amazon. I wish that was specified.

Very informative

Ladies, thank you! I loved to hear about your formative years. It is always wonderful to see how God has a plan that may be the last thing on our mind. It is so important that you wrote this book because I really believe that what is lacking right now is truth. I have been sickened when I think about how black people have been cheated by false promises by the Democrats. You don't need the government! People need to have the confidence and courage to reach for the stars. You are victors not victims! Looking forward to seeing what God has next for Diamond and Silk!

Great book

Loved the book. I love how these ladies speak their mind and can't be intimidated. Thank you ladies for not being afraid to speak the truth.

These ladies are fantastic!

This is the story of two women breaking out of the mold that they were told they were supposed to live in. They give clear reasons for why they walked away from society's expectations for them and chose their own path.

For all those who think for themselves. They say what so many want to say, but risk their safety (and possibly lives) if they do.

Uprising is a phenomenal book. I laughed, cried, got angry, got still, and I learned a ton!

Their Story

Everyone has a story to tell and sometimes they can actually tell a story that's interesting, exciting, and thought-provoking. Diamond and Silk are the nicknames of two outspoken African-American sisters, actually born ten months apart, who put out entertaining videos where they speak their minds, often about politics, and let the chips fall where they may. And, they are unlikely video stars, with grandparents who were poor North Carolina sharecroppers, with one of them carrying a baby in high school yet still graduating, and working at looms in the textile mills. That being the textile mills that once dotted the Southern landscape and seemed to disappear overnight with NAFTA and the other trade deals along with the jobs and the lifeblood of small towns when the factories moved across the border or overseas in search of ever-cheaper labor. And, what jobs were left seemed to be snatched up by those here illegally who could underprice in the labor market people who'd been here all their lives. It wasn't until 2015 that Diamond and Silk found a political candidate who spoke to these concerns. It was their vocal support for President Trump that catapulted them to national fame. The book chronicles their newfound fame and their subsequent difficulties with censorship at Facebook and YouTube as attempt after attempt was made to silence their voices and diminish them. "Uprising" is so well-written that the reader feels as if they are actually listening to the back and forth between these two sisters on a podcast. This is accomplished by alternating between plain text (Diamond's voice) and italicized text (Silk's voice).

Love Diamond and Silk and have this book in my cart.

I am so excited about this book as I have really enjoyed listening to Diamond & silk from the first time I saw them. they made my heart happy. I read the first two chapters where they describe sharecropping. Blacks were not the only ones who were mistreated by this ugly practice. My own Father and Father-in-Law were sharecroppers. My Father got himself out of it and my husbands family got his Father out of it by moving him to Chicago where he got a job in a factory there. Diamond & Silk are two very special people and I will enjoy reading this book and will come back and give another review.

Bogus book

Masquerading as an earthy journey toward self improvement, this is a polemic diatribe supporting Trump

White Women Would Never ...

8-19-20, My book is on the way - I'm sure I'll like it because I love Diamond and Silk because of their audaciousness and their joyful yet hard hitting commentary about politics and their love for Donald Trump. They are famous and successful because they are black women. White women doing their schtick would never be popular as conservatives who support President Trump.

For devoted fans

Diamond and Silk have written an informative and entertaining work which gives the background to their rise to Internet stardom. Their distinctive voices are sorely needed during these tumultuous times. They "tell it like it is" in a manner that is refreshing and candid. Devoted fans of Diamond and Silk will enjoy this rollicking ride of a memoir.

Love it

Couldn’t put it down! I love these two ladies! They are the best! Patriots, witty, smart and funny! Kudos ladies, you made it! God Bless the USA!

D&S! American Patriotic Truth Tellers

So blessed to have caught the Premier Book Signing live streamed on FaceBook ! I ordered a signed copy and can't wait to get it. I'm looking forward to reading, Uprising: Who the Hell Said You Can't Ditch and Switch? -- The Awakening of Diamond and Silk! The premeire was live on August 18, 2020 if you want to watch a replay.

Love Diamond and Silk

It’s nice to see people from different backgrounds coming together for our country.

Political icons!!

I love this book!! I see some people are butthurt over the 2016 election! Get used to it....for FOUR MORE YEARS!!!!!! BuHahaha!!

Encouraging!

I was late to the party, but when I eventually discovered Diamond & Silk, I was so drawn in by their no-nonsense common sense. They do their research; they speak from the heart and have integrity. This book was so encouraging – to see how every-day people, like you and me, can make such a big impact on our nation. God’s hand is surely on them. I definitely recommend this book! Go Diamond & Silk!

Choo choo baby!

Super fascinating read about two compelling ladies. The way it's written made me read it in their voices. Very enjoyable, and lots of background info. Love that they stay true to their principles. Choo choo baby!

A very informative book

This book is presented as a series of conversations between Diamond and Silk, two sisters. The early chapters are very interesting, as they describe what it was like for them growing up. Then they discuss their various jobs as young adults. The last 2/3s of the book are about their becoming involved in politics. The writing reads very much like they talking with each other. They make very sensible responses to each other. This copy was a gift to me, but I definitely did read it and strongly recommend it.

EXCELLENT!

I received my copy as an ARC. I have been following these women for years and was excited to read their story. I highly suggest this book to everyone. No matter your skin color or political agenda.

Diamond and Silk expose the Left

These two women are really able to lay it out there how the Left has been a losing proposition for the Black community and how leaving the Democrat Plantation is the way forward for Back Americans. They also show the corruption and Left bias in social media and how the Left has control of all speech. The Left has freedom of speech privilege and the Conservative voice has no rights in the social media platform. Diamond and Silk need to be out there front and center. I pray the Black community can heard their voice and follow those who lead them to prosper and be successful in life. The Right supports the Black community. The Left does not want them to know that.

Truth tellers

I watched a video of two outspoken girls back when Trump was first running for term one. I could not believe how passionate they were and loved the research that they had done. So, years later when I heard they had a book I pre-ordered it and read it in two days. As a white person, it would be hard for me to truly understand what blacks go through and why they think the Democratic party will save them. Clearly, it will not, and Diamond and Silk do a fantastic job of combining History, their own work experience, and love of God into a work that is a MUST read for anyone just trying to understand politics.

Witty and Truthful!

These two are on que! I love how witty and on the ball these two girls are. It's really well written and I love the insights into their childhood and family history.
