Elvira Barnes (pronounced Elvera) is the daughter of southern Baptist parents who moved from the Mississippi cotton belt to a middle-class neighborhood in North Minneapolis after World War II. She is the youngest of 4 children and the only one born in Minnesota. Ms. Barnes is an activist for woman and has sought to make changes
in laws that disproportionately affect the African American community in negative ways. A graduate of the University of Minnesota, Ms. Barnes worked for more than a decade as a liaison to the governor's office, Assistant Director for the State Council on Black Minnesotans, was a foster parent for a number of years and headed
programs addressing the unmet needs of teen parents and residents dealing with chemical health issues. Although Dancing on Black Ice addresses negative aspects of her early life such as obesity, abuse, neglect and domestic
violence, Elvira would be the first to say that she is not a victim. Ms. Barnes believes that there is a reason for everything and that God allowed her path to follow its direction so that she could be a resource to those facing similar struggles.

Ms. Barnes is available for interviews by telephone and in person, and for book signings. Please contact her via email at ewycough@yahoo.com. You can also contact Marlene Robertson at 1-800-886-5059 or
