ABOUT THE BOOK
Through the research and reflections of author Jasmine L. Holmes, you will be inspired by what each of these exceptional women can teach us about the intersections of faith and education, birth, privilege, opportunity, and so much more.
Carved in Ebony will take you past the predominantly white, male contributions that seemingly dominate history books and church history to discover how Black women have been some of the main figures in defining the landscape of American history and faith.
LEARN ABOUT BLACK WOMEN WHO SERVED GOD IN EXTRAORDINARY WAYS
THIS BOOK IS AN UNAPOLOGETIC REJOICING IN THE FACT THAT GOD CHOSE TO MAKE EACH WOMAN PROFILED IN THIS BOOK BOTH BLACK AND FEMALE FOR HIS GLORY. AND IT WAS GOOD.

PRAISE FOR CARVED IN EBONY
“Carved in Ebony introduces the stories of Black women that for too long have been untold. With unapologetic conviction and vulnerable eloquence, Jasmine shows how their faith and steadfast purposefulness indelibly shaped our nation and world. You will be both inspired and challenged to continue the legacy these women began.”
“What a gift this book you hold in your hands will be to you! Jasmine has a way of teaching you a history lesson you never knew you needed, while also pointing you to a God who deeply cares for his children. I love God more now that I know these ladies in this book, and I suspect you will as well!”
“Books are meant to shape us. While reading Carved in Ebony, I imagined that I was joining Jasmine Holmes on a journey looking at old truths with fresh eyes. After I was done, I realized that Jasmine wasn’t just using her pen to tell a story. She was using it as a chisel. My faith and confidence in the goodness of God has been refined and polished as a result of seeing God’s faithfulness in the lives of these women. I can’t wait to witness the other statues she sculpts when other people get their hands on this book.”
“Carved in Ebony, like its author, is courageous, compassionate, and clear. In considering the lives and faith of the women profiled here, we can learn how we as Christians can serve Christ and love the world for which he died and lives again.”
