Tavis Smiley was at the world famous
Karibu Book store last week. He was there to promote his new book.
This book talks about Tavis on a personal level and his family
history. Tavis had a troubled past as a youth and he talks about
how he over came it. Tavis said he was upset with Oprah and Larry
King. As everyone knows if you go on Oprah or Larry King this
normally helps with the success of your book , movie or album. Oprah
nor Larry have invited Tavis to there show for any of his books as
Tavis pointed out. Tavis pointed out that although he has not been on
any major talk show one of his books was on the New York Times best
seller and the current book is 3 spots away from reaching that list.
He thanks his fans and supporters for the success of the books and
the outlets that allowed him to promote his books. One could say that
Tavis himself is a media outlet and may not need the help of Oprah or
Larry King to support his book. There is a small video clip of Tavis
speaking on this issues below.
