Warning: Some of the letters are frisky, funny, and head-tilting, but trust me, they will make you smile, woosah, blush & want to write me back.

Dear Chocolate Brutha, Dear Black Beauty, Dear Bathroom Facilities, Dear Anonymous Lover, Dear Random Thoughts, Dear Hennessy, Dear Mood Swings, Dear Son, Dear Life, Dear Sweet Angel of mine, 40 years, 7 Days, 2 Hours and a Kiss, Dear…

For years, I let my pride, stubbornness, strong will, ego & fear hijack me, emotionally, but now that I’ve humbled myself, I wrote you 37 Letters to express my feelings about all of those things that I’ve been wanting to say.

This book of 37 letters offers an opportunity for you to self-reflect and perhaps find the words that you have been looking for to express those suppressed feelings. This is NOT a book of Dear John letters, nor is it intended to be a self-help, love yourself, and then let me love you, book, but rather it’s a thought-provoking book of letters that dare you to get in touch with your headspace when it comes to expressing your feelings. Oh, and feel free to ’borrow’ my words. (wink)

You live your whole life never understanding why some people are dangerous, until you cross their path. By then it’s too late. When they strike, you never see it coming. And they continue to strike until they break you down or force you to run and hide.

Poisonous people are this way and they are everywhere. Unfortunately, having them in your inner circle can prove fatal if you aren’t careful, or if you don’t know who they are. They have attractive personalities, but people may see them as somewhat controlling or manipulative early in the relationship. They can tear you down in a short amount of time for what seems like no reason, or if they feel a loss of control. To exist around them becomes a battle.

Poisonous people make you want to please them even when you are not a people-pleaser. You’ve watched them tear down others with their words and behavior. You were happy to watch from the sideline, until they targeted you. Why does everything they say hurt? Shaking off their poison is not easy, and you find it hard to escape their grip once they have you.

Some poisonous people even go out of their way to make your life a living hell and to make others to hate you. How to deal with a poisonous person is not only necessary for your sanity and peace of mind, but your physical health as well. Don’t let people destroy you when they can’t control you; it would be a mistake that you can’t afford to live with. My goal is to help you deal with poisonous people, who are angry at life, so that you aren’t destroyed by them.

He was now four months old and trying to crawl already. He was a delightful, quiet baby who chirped rather than cried. Her arms felt empty after Crea retrieved him. “Is that hard, Jan?” David asked, his breath cool against her shoulder. Janice closed her eyes at his question. She had a miscarriage eight months earlier and a thirty-seventh birthday three weeks earlier. The doctor mandated a year of waiting but she yearned for a child. “A little…” Janice said, stirring in her husband’s embrace. “I adore my nephew and he’s so sweet but I want my own.” David heard the longing in her voice and it made his heart ache. She had suffered two miscarriages in as many years and wasn’t getting any younger. He would love a child but nothing was more important than Janice.

    “Initiate 16 lay paralyzed, face-down on a glass table. Scores of blood-stained, shiny metallic needles, attached to snake-like arms, jutted from her back, neck, arms, legs, and even the backs of her heels. Her whole back was peeled open, revealing her spine. The bright lights in the ceiling above her shone on the slick, pink sinew of her back and upon several links of bone that composed her spine. Upon each link was carved an ancient rune – ’the Odu’, her teacher had called them. She didn’t know what an Odu was but she knew it gave her power… and pain. The nerve-blocking chemicals coursing through her blood, bones and sinew numbed the pain, but she didn’t like them inside her body. She didn’t particularly enjoy initiation either, but it was a step closer to godhood – and only a god would dare tread where she would soon have to.” Afrofuturism meets “Into the Badlands” meets “28 Days Later” in this post-apocalyptic, biopunk thriller. It’s the year 2057. Ikoko, a physically weak, abused and psychologically disturbed young woman is selected against her will to become the first physically-enhanced hunter of “mutes” – people infected with the horrific Midway Mutagen. If the procedures go well, Ikoko will be transformed into the first of many Ologun – human killing machines – through genetic engineering. But such a powerful creature must be controlled and she will be… via an invasive memory-implantation program. But the plan goes awry when the products of a top-secret project gone wrong break out of the facility where they are being held and flee into the nearby city of Atlagos. In the ensuing panic, the scientist in charge of implanting Ikoko’s memories inserts a program of her own making – one that turns Ikoko into a modern-day African warrior – part Shaka Zulu, part Mino (“Dahomey Amazon”). Ikoko must face monsters – of meat, metal and combinations of both – to save herself, those she’s tasked with protecting, and maybe even a world gone absolutely mad.

    Kathryn Magnolia Johnson: Fearless warrior and revolutionary in pursuit of education, academic achievement, and social justice for Blacks throughout the nation and the world

    Kathryn Magnolia Johnson was born during the “Jim Crow Era,” was a woman of color and one of many unsung heroes of a budding modern civil rights movement. Kathryn was a champion for literacy, education and social justice in colored communities throughout the country and the world. Kathryn’s journey takes us from Darke County, Ohio, where she was born, to New Paris, Ohio where she experienced the “colorline,” and the reality of racism, to Wilberforce University where she was inspired, through the horrors of the Argenta Race Riot, her experience as the first field agent for the NAACP, her service to the colored troops in WWI France and her travels throughout the United States selling her “Two Foot Shelf of Negro Literature.” This narrative is written in the first person as Kathryn tells her story through her unfinished autobiography, diaries, letters, books, pamphlets, newspaper articles and the comments she wrote on the many photographs she took throughout her amazing journey. Many will appreciate a firsthand telling of the grass roots movement that smoldered during the post-reconstruction period. Kathryn was an integral part of that struggle but to date has only gotten a paragraph or two in the history of the civil rights struggle. I believe anyone that reads this narrative will be surprised at the many ‘first’ Kathryn was responsible for and will be inspired to do more for those in need of justice. —Armand A. Gonzalzles

    Freedom Songs is the moving coming of age story of 14-year-old Sheryl Williams of Brooklyn, New York, who is pulled into the Civil Rights Movement after a family trip to North Carolina changes her idyllic view of her mother’s hometown in 1963. Sheryl’s mother’s youngest brother, Pete, farms the family land, attends a nearby Negro college and has begun organizing Negroes in the area to register to vote, making some family members afraid but pushing Sheryl to action.

    The narrative resonates with the details and emotions of the times …. Moore’s vivid language and convincing ability takes readers to a crucial time in our history.
    —School Library Journal

    In the tradition of Mildred Taylor, Moore presents an authentic, disturbing slice of black American history as she traces an impressionable heroine’s changing perceptions. Although the story is set nearly 30 years ago, its themes regarding injustice, oppression and nonviolent forms of resistance remain relevant today.
    —Publishers Weekly

    Moore subtly and effectively describes the changing mixture of fear and resolution with which Sheryl faces white hostility, as well as the firm church and family relationships that are her foundation. She also presents the methods and nonviolent philosophy of the Civil Rights Movement as clearly as the abuses it aimed to correct. An uncompromising first novel that’s easily strong enough to carry its educational load.

She was the daughter of James and Betsey, slaves of one Colonel Ardinburgh, Hurley, Ulster County, New York. Colonel Ardinburgh belonged to that class of people called Low Dutch. Of her first master, she can give no account, as she must have been a mere infant when he died; and she, with her parents and some ten or twelve other fellow human chattels, became the legal property of his son, Charles Ardinburgh. She distinctly remembers hearing her father and mother say, that their lot was a fortunate one, as Master Charles was the best of the family,-being, comparatively speaking, a kind master to his slaves.

The Asian martial gods are most powerful and prosperous, as the Asian martial arts have long been marketed to humanity and are quite popular, even in the post-apocalyptic, afrofuturistic world of JAGUNJAGUN LEWA. The African gods of the martial arts, on the other hand, are so unpopular that they risk falling into eternal sleep. To save themselves, they pick an unlikely champion who, with his brother, Papio, a man cursed to live out his life as a mandrill, sets out to build the reputation and popularity of the African martial arts by defeating the best martial artists in the world. The problem is, no one wants to fight him – and NOT because of his extraordinary fighting skills.

    We have all read the headlines featuring a fortunate college-bound student who received $100,000 or more in scholarship awards. Assuming that the scholarships were renewable annually, this amount could easily pay for four years of college at any American college or university. However, these success stories are the exception, not the rule. They are aberrations among the pool of millions of aspiring college students who submit scholarship applications to the hundreds of companies, foundations and non-profit groups that offer them. The reality is a much different, and sobering, picture. According to federal government estimates, the average undergraduate who borrows money to pay for college graduates with about $37,000 in student loan debt. 101 Scholarship Applications: What It Takes to Obtain a Debt-Free College Education was written specifically to address the issue of college loan debt, and help students and their parents identify scholarship opportunities, as well as develop strategies for submitting applications and winning awards. This book’s author, Gwen Richardson, is a parent who spent several years carefully researching scholarship sources for her daughter, who attended an out-of-state college at the cost of $30,000 per year. Her daughter will graduate in May 2018 with all costs financed entirely with scholarships and grants. The highlight of this book is a comprehensive listing of more than 250 scholarship sources, including award amounts, eligibility requirements, and direct website links. All sources have been vetted and researched for accuracy.

    This is my story and others are only mentioned to show how being broken saved me. I hear many stories of people who are unable to get past being black, poor, and fatherless, molested, maligned, ignored or abused. I experienced all of these things and I stand whole and able to share. It wasn’t easy and there were times when I was a bitter as quinine but I triumphed. This is something I wavered back and forth on doing for many years in my desire to protect people. For whatever reason or reasons, I am past that and am no longer ashamed of whence I came or how I overcame. My intent is not to judge or malign but to tell my truth as it happened and in doing so, I pray that God’s will is done. Angelia Vernon Menchan

    The first year of the Trump presidency was a test of our national character. Did we pass? Follow the exploits of our new president and Congress as they try to repeal Obamacare, let restaurants confiscate tips from employees, hike taxes on the poor, slash them on the rich, declare the Media an "enemy of the American people," brush off a neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, ban travel from Muslim countries, steal a Supreme Court seat, ban transgender troops from the military, privatize sacred Native American national parks, slash Medicaid, leave Puerto Rico to die after Hurricane Maria, and obstruct justice all over the place.

    Bonus content: Watch the new president malign women he’d allegedly sexually assaulted even as the #MeToo movement finally begins holding sexual harassers and predators accountable.

    The year 2016 in political cartoons by Darrin Bell of the Washington Post Writers Group, winner of the 2015 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for Editorial Cartooning, and the 2016 Berryman Award. This was the year the country became more polarized than at any point since the Civil War. This was the year when fear defeated hope. But the election of Donald Trump was only a symptom. When police shot unarmed black men, half of us saw one thing, half of us saw another. When mass shootings struck yet again, half of us felt the other half’s response was reprehensible. The two sides can’t even agree on what "facts" are anymore. At what point, if any, is it ok to ask whether this relationship has run its course? Will it ever be ok to ask "Why are we still married?"

    These stunningly-drawn, full color cartoons are thoughtful and evocative. As Amy Lago of the Washington Post Writers Group put it, "Bell deftly takes on the pressing social issues of the day, from gay rights, to rape victims who are not believed, to children flooding into the United States, hoping for a brighter future." Contains cartoons from "Grab Them By the Pussy: the 2016 Election in Cartoons," and dozens of other cartoons (because contrary to popular belief, plenty of other things happened in 2016).

    Harlem Bible—-In the Beginning by Grant Harper Reid

    Multi-Book Award-winning author Grant Harper Reid has authored his second book Harlem Bible. Grant has taken a nod from the old master Lao Tzu, the keeper of the Imperial Archives who proclaimed to the world, "A Good Reckoner Needs No Tally." In the Harlem Bible Reid demonstrates himself to be a good reckoner indeed. Reid’s first book was considered to be a work of pure literary genius, full of humor that pushes the envelope. Harlem Bible is a delightfully amazing and exceedingly enjoyable book. Grant reminiscences his early years as an innocent young black child growing up in Harlem and the suburbs of New Jersey. We weave through the author’s past with flashbacks and an assembly of timelines that are and chock full of fascinating bygone circumstances of yesteryear.

    The impetus behind the Harlem Bible came from the author’s angst as his beloved Harlem neighborhood became gentrified. With gentrification came newcomers who distorted and misrepresented the historical descriptions of his community. Grant took it personally when condescending intruders flooded onto his beloved streets and defined Harlem’s glorious past to suit their one-sided cravings.

    Reid watched as many authentic Harlemites passed away taking their tales with them to their hereafters. He chose to do something about it, and thus he wrote the Harlem Bible. Harlem Bible arranges the groundwork with corroborated verifiable information then discharges it with reflections for the benefit of the readers. Please don’t misperceive the Harlem Bible with the usual pasteurized half-stepping Negro books with no basis in fact. If you want to understand the hidden black culture that most colored people will not admit to then this book is for you.

    Harlem Bible is a look through Grant’s life with his family, friends, associates, and adversaries. Grant gets bussed to an all-white public school in the Bronx and we follow him. While there he discovers for the first time what it is like to be a black boy when white students call him Nigger. We find out the authors reaction when he goes to a black summer camp and the "It" girl asks him for a dance. We learn of Reid’s response at a Jewish day camp after he attempts to befriend the beautiful Jewish American Princess who rebuffs him and won’t give him the time of day?

    What happens to the young author when he sneaks into Jimi Hendrix’s limousine without the proper authorization? Discover what happens when the author looks into the mirror and mistakenly concludes that, "he ain’t got one scintilla of talent" himself. Laugh with, and at him he attempts and nosedives downward when he wants to become a black hippie. What happens when Grant visits the mixed-race Negro hillbillies called Jackson Whites and believed that they want to make him their primary dinner course?

    The Harlem Bible journeys in a world full of jazz, rhythm & blues, soul music and rock & roll and celebrities. Take a breathtaking gallop into this world of upwardly mobile African-Americas, original uptown hang-outs, riots, romance, civil rights and the underworld as this innocent young man tries to acquire a fair and equal education. Oh, the gangsters, ministers, stars and a potpourri harebrained, zany characters. Extra Special and Rare "Jimi Hendrix Play’s Harlem" photographs!

    We assume that our closest friends will be around forever. Sometimes we let years pass without checking in, confident that our paths will cross eventually and that the connection we once had will still be there. However, life doesn’t always work like that.

    After learning of the death of her childhood friend Jewel, Camille is overwhelmed by memories. As young women, Camille, Jewel and Saundra formed a close bond—however, careers, love lives, and other circumstances conspired to separate the once-devoted trio. Jewel founded a successful black entertainment agency, and Saundra fell into a troubled relationship. Camille drifted away while in grad school and after the birth of her son. She recalls the reunion brunch she planned hoping to bring her friends back together– but time had changed everything.

    Set in twentieth-century New York City, Wildflowers is about the dynamic of friendship of the three women. It is a coming of age story in which Camille must face hard truths about her relationships—and herself. She wrote in the 1960’s while in college that she and her friends were like wildflowers unfolding, each one unique. In the end, Camille realizes that friendships are often complicated and fragile, and she must become her own distinct and firmly planted self.

    This coming of age story about the power and perils of friendship follows three women—Camille, Jewel, and Saundra—across several decades as they confront issues of family, love, betrayal, ambition, and race.

    You refuse to give up and let them go. Okay. Now, what’s next? For starters, you must change the way you think when you’re in love with a commitment phobe because, unlike someone who’s looking for longevity in a relationship, the person you love is afraid of commitment. Therefore, they’ll use control and deception as manipulative tools to maintain distance in the relationship. Everything you do indicates you’re fully committed. That’s normally a wonderful thing, but for commitment phobes, that’s a problem. In a strange way, you understand them and love their unpredictable ways. One moment, they’re cold; the next, it’s as if someone turned on the heater of love, and you’ve forgotten that you’re dealing with a commitment phobe. If you really want to make your relationship work, you’ll have to meet them halfway. If you press them too hard for a change in behavior, they’ll keep their distance. Learn to back off and stop worrying. The less you stress, the more they’ll stress over you. That’s the first step to handling your commitment phobic lover. There are many other steps that ‘ll need to be taken, but the first step sets the tone and lets your partner know who’s in charge! Sabotage will teach you how to handle a commitment phobe so you can win at love.

I needed to meet you.” “Why me?” Pia asked. “I know you are fishing for compliments but I’m going to give it to you straight.” “You look good, damn good. I have seen you around and you aren’t haughty though you could be. I like what you are about in your business and I think your ass and waist together is art. After talking to you and hearing you talk to Jalil I knew you were more than that even. I like you, though I don’t know you, yet. I also liked how you just flowed with I had six lovers… nobody says honest shit like that. Pia, I’m a thirty-six-year-old black man who has gotten lots of ass in my life but now I’m grown and tired of all that. I want a woman, my own woman.” His words filled Pia all the way up. “I’m not proposing to your ass or nothing but I like you.” Pia howled with laughter at his words. “You are so funny and you know what I like about you, you are clearly smart as hell but you so damn hood… and hood is good.” “Hood is good… lots of successful women don’t agree or they think hood means some knucklehead not living up to his potential.

    Born in Captivity is my 19th book to reach publication, and it is also the most in-depth and comprehensive book thus far. It is a reflection of the more than 50,000 hours of research conducted over the last 20 plus years. In this book, I confront the darkness that is normally avoided at all cost - psychopathology as a legacy of slavery.With the intergenerational transmission of trauma as a root problem in African American behavior, I endeavored to unwrap origin, causality, perpetuation and resolution. I confront relational a familial issues, inferiority complexes, consumerism, disunity, how we view and treat property, incest, rape and other forms of CSA, as well as religious influences on social mobility and functionality. As is my philosophy, it did not stop with identifying the origins and causes but continued in the intense work of facilitating repair and healing.Born in Captivity: Psychopathology as a Legacy of Slavery (The Answers)Have you ever asked yourself:1. Why we behave the way we do?2. Why we can’t escape poverty as a collective?3. While having all the blueprints and strategies necessary for advancement, why haven’t we advance in 152 years of quasi- freedom!4. What destroyed our families?5. Why are our men and women at odd?And more…I give you the answers to those questions and much more in Born in Captivity: Psychopathology as a Legacy of SlaveryIt started for me more than 30 years ago when I watch Dr. Francis Cress Welsing on the Phil Donahue Show. Dr. Welsing was defending her dissertation, The Cress Theory of Color Confrontation amidst a great deal of credulous resistance and hostility, yet she was holding her own. This was significant to me because the ideology of Black intellectual inferiority was just several years in the rear view of American consciousness and here was this Black woman dominating an intellectual forum.It was my pursuit and study of Dr. Welsing’s work that I discovered Neely Fuller Jr., Dr. Amos Wilson, Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Dr. Yosef Ben Yochanan, Dr. Na’im Akbar, Dr. Claud Anderson and many more. In reviewing everything that these teachers were presenting, it was evident that we had the blueprint for Black elevation and empowerment; however, we had not made any progress since we received our quasi-freedom in 1865.It became my quest to gain a lucid and comprehensive perspicacity of why we could not progress despite having all of the answers before us and while the answer is immensely complicated in dynamic it is easily expressed in the terms of our reality - we are perpetuating psychopathological behavior as such as rate and intensity that we have embraced this erroneous behavior as a part of our culture.The counterintuitive and nonconducive behavior we perpetuate constantly works to create a cyclical dynamic that further exacerbates our current condition. We are still dealing with the legacy of slavery because we never healed from its wounds, and we have been consistently re-injured along our journey in the country.Incest and other forms childhood sexual abuse can be traced back to slavery. The silent condonation that accompanies this type of behavior can also be traced back to slavery. The inability of Black males to properly bond with their progeny and sustain healthy marital relationships can be traced back to slavery. The manner in which we view "property" (Some of us can’t help but destroy it and others lust for it creating a mindset of consumerism) and material objects can be traced back to slavery. I could go on and on speaking of behaviors that that function in direct opposition of what we say we want the most - absolutely liberation and empowerment.Born in Captivity is the "The Answer" to all of the questions associated with the enigmatic issues we face. It is it the beginning of the recovery and restorative process. I invite to be a part of this journey toward Black empowerment! Rick Wallace, Ph.D., Psy.D.

    In 1961, when the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals arrived in St. Petersburg, Florida, for spring training, neither team had any idea that a feisty physician was about to turn its world upside down. To Major League Baseball, Dr. Ralph Wimbish was just a black homeowner able to house the team’s African American ball players, who were segregated from their white teammates-except on the diamond-during spring training. The laws in Florida, like the rest of the South, were dictated by Jim Crow. Major League Baseball had no plans to upend it. Dr. Wimbish had other ideas. Drawing on personal interviews, newspaper accounts, archival documents, and memoirs, Adam Henig has written a story that New York Post sports columnist Mike Vacarro and Tampa Bay Times’ Jon Wilson called "a must read!" A book for baseball enthusiasts that goes beyond the game, Baseball Under Siege (formerly titled Under One Roof) is an unforgettable tale of a little-known civil rights activist who risked it all to achieve racial justice in his city, in his state, and in America’s favorite pastime.

    Everyone, has a story to tell, I’ve just been contemplating if the world was ready to hear mine. You would be surprised at who will try to stop you from telling your story as if it will affect them. Where were those so-called family members when I was killing myself on the streets looking for love? I am here only by the grace of God. I have scars and my scars cover me from head to toe. Isn’t it funny how in the midst of your darkest hours of life and sin that darkness tries to make you laugh? It makes you forget about all the sorrow and pain it put you through before issuing you another gut-wrenching blow of misfortune? But, life never really offered me a laugh. I found my comfort by diving into a life of drugs and prostitution. My life was anything but perfect. And I knocked busters on their ass, men twice my size to prove that, I would not be taken advantage of in these streets. Fighting my brothers and sisters was a way of life. My family outcast me and my mamma turned her back to me while I was treated like trash in my own family. Abuse, neglect, suicide, drug addiction and prostitution were a part of my darkest hours of life. Could it be that my mind has been trying to outrun my pain and sorrow all these years? Or is it that my pain doesn’t want me to forget what has happened? I thought that if I got married life would change for me, but looking back on it and laughing now, married life did not treat me any better. And that’s because my husband was strung out on heroin and running the streets sleeping with crackheads and whores. My family outcast me and my husband beat me. I laid down to die as a way to escape the pain I was feeling, but death didn’t want me, not then. How did I get myself out of such a predicament? I did by the grace and mercy of God. I know that diamonds are precious stones. They are ugly to look at in their natural state and found amongst rocks and dirt walked on by people who don’t know their worth. I was a diamond and did not know my worth so long ago. I was stepped on in life and by people I loved and who I thought loved me. I added to my darkest hours with my own hands by the things that I was doing; I don’t deny it. Today I am delivered, no longer living in life’s darkest hours.

    One’s strength lies in their uniqueness. While similarities aren’t considered weaknesses, it’s the sole possessions of one human than attracts them to another… that one thing that someone their opposite can find inside of their core, but not within themselves. It’s what attaches them, intrigues them as a flame does a moth. It’s the bridge that gaps them together in a manner that other’s may be ignorant to, while the details are in plain sight for the two basking in the afterglow. Ripleigh, a young single mother, has been beat down by the biggest villain of all. Life has gutted her of her most valuable vessel, the heart. After suffering through the death of her counterpart, and daughter’s father, she’s left with merely a shell to call home for the rest of the organs that are keeping her amongst the living. Ripleigh packed her things and moved down south for a more modest living and to place the pain of loss as many miles behind her as she could. While life seemed to be plentiful closer to the boarder, Ripleigh’s funds were diminishing. Quick on her feet, she reduced her pride and laced up her highest heels to tread the stage of ILLUSION, the most sought out dwelling for upscale nightlife. Semaaj, prominent medical provider and face of Northcross Pediatric Care, stumbles into a dimly lit atmosphere full of hookah smoke, chest rocking base, and clad women with insane skills and enough strength to help him lay the final bricks to his newly purchased children’s clinic. Though he feels as if he’s worlds away from his comfort zone, he feels a familiar tugging of his heartstrings after setting his eyes on the talented Blyss. Semaaj, later, finds himself frequenting the underworld at an alarming rate, and the staff soon knows him by name. His request is simple, Blyss. Two strangers, two completely different worlds, two bizarre parties discover that there is likeness even in their oppositions. While Ripleigh decides to run, Semaaj exchanges his stethoscope and lab coat for joggers and tennis shoes. He accepts the challenge of digging up Ripleigh’s, as known as Blyss, heart -the vessel that had been buried along with her previous lover. Bruised, cut, leaking, and dysfunctional as it may come packaged, he cares nothing for it’s appearance. The purity of it’s inside is what he’s most desirable of.

    Welcome Friends, this book was done by my Nana & I after many discussions about our feelings and my reactions to so many changes, in a short time our lives.

    Do you know a family going through a separation of some kind, (due to military, job change, incarceration, displaced by inclement weather or natural disaster)? We focused on a child who had experienced death, grief & bereavement in his family. Soon there after issues at school followed unexpected separations.

    We must trust in the word of God and there is not any situation he will see us safely through to a more positive place. We must encourage ourselves and cheer up those around us. Look to see how you can be a blessing to someone daily. It will cheer you up too. Is your child going through divorce, separation, conflict resolution or experiencing peer pressure.

    This book explains how one boy handled changing his behavior. If your child is making bad choices due to being ridiculed or your child is the bully, this is the book for your family. Even if it is a child that has suffered the incarceration of a loved one or a death of a close friend, this is a great gift for that child also. Your time is also a great gift. Plan to read this to a hurting child. Adults learn a lot when reading it to their child or children when they practice reading to adults. Either way the time together is priceless and does so much more than you realize.

    All About Feelings, makes us take a look at what we believe and the decisions we made in response to events in our lives. We then ask ourselves, "Was that a good decision or a bad one? Did I respond correctly? Could I have had a better out come if I had responded differently." After examining our past we can determine our mistakes and purpose to behave differently. We must learn and teach our children to take responsibility for our actions.

    Practice along with Khamani and decide to do or say things, only after we have thought about all the consequences. We must remember the "Golden Rule." Matthew 7:12. The best days of your life are ahead of you. It still works today. Keep in mind most people worldwide are good and kind. There are a some bad and wicked people but they are a minority of the population. Their bad acts make the news and their bad actions sell books and newspapers. It has been this way for centuries.

    After reading this book I hope you will explore your responses and your child’s responses, good or bad to things that happen throughout your day. Once we realize we are not in control and we can’t change things that have already happened. We can learn from our mistakes and make up our minds, we will do better. Khamani & I have to remind each other often but it is going well. Read our book and let’s hear what changes you have made. We look forward to hearing from you or your loved ones.

    "I found you drinking waters from the fountains of another garden And I saw clearly from one quadrant of the garden to the other… roses…. Beautiful roses. I looked through the glass and saw all my bushes and thorns, and no roses A thicket, but no roses orchid and lilies; no roses waters that ran deep; but no roses (To love me you had to suffer pricks, bruises, and wear my body, sinful, but my soul very rare) Did you get tired of standing outside my garden waiting for roses to bloom? To symbolize the beauty in my wisdom, trust, and faith in you? Did you grow weary of loving me? While I was going fond of your aversion to me? All I could say when looking into your eyes was, “I’m sorry…I never promised you a rose garden.” And all you said was silence. And all I heard was a pounding and it kept getting louder and louder and I began to crack And it drove me mad and all I saw was a tear in your eyes “goodbye” …. you said “And take your heart with you,” you scolded, “It’s disturbing my peace.” And you began to quote the words of the prophet, and said, “I only wanted one time to see you laughing, I only wanted to be some kind of friend” And I too began to quote, “Until the end of time, I’ll be there for you, you are my heart & mind, I truly adore you.” You frowned, your disposition turned around, hugged me, and used your key to let me out of this garden by the gates’ door. There I’ll return. Nevermore.

    The Mimi Patterson/Gianna Maglione Mysteries (Volume 4)

    It sometimes seems to Police Lieutenant Gianna Maglione that people invent new ways to visit hate upon each other, and she should know: As head of the Washington, D.C. police department’s Hate Crimes Unit, she gets a close-up look at the ugliness on a regular basis, and it’s taking a toll. Montgomery "Mimi" Patterson sees her share of ugly, too. As the city’s top investigative newspaper reporter, her forte is uncovering government graft and corruption at high and low levels, and those she brings down hate her for it. "I didn’t tell ’em to steal the public’s money," she says with a shrug. But it’s getting to her. Tired of corrupt politicians, she seeks a different kind of story and runs right into a hate crime and one of HCU’s investigations. It’s a dance she and Gianna have done before and while they still don’t like it—especially Gianna—it is something they’re learning to deal with, something they must learn to deal with if their relationship is to survive, and that’s something they both want. They both sense a darkness settling over the city they both love, and it’s coming from the worst possible places and people: Corrupt, hate-filled cops and corrupt, hate-filled ministers. The police department and the church. No way they can let this happen in their city, so for the first time, Mimi and Gianna agree to work together. Mimi and Gianna. Once again, love wins.

    The year 2015 in political cartoons by Darrin Bell of the Washington Post Writers Group, winner of the 2015 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for Editorial Cartooning, and the 2016 Berryman Award for Editorial Cartooning. From police brutality to the Confederate Flag, to mass shootings, to Marriage Equality for gays, to the campaign for President… this was the year when the country went both sane and insane at the same time.

    These stunningly-drawn, full color cartoons are thoughtful and evocative. As Amy Lago of the Washington Post Writers Group put it, "Darrin is like a sign language interpreter translating what whites say into what blacks hear. Bell prodded readers to consider how different celebrities are viewed through the prism of race. When two NYPD officers were gunned down, his cartoon illustrated how they lost their lives because of the uniforms they wore. Bell deftly takes on the pressing social issues of the day, from gay rights, to rape victims who are not believed, to children flooding into the United States, hoping for a brighter future.

    All the gods are dead. Long live the gods. Never forget. To be reborn time after time knowing, remembering; each past life is both heaven and hell for Ledo. But as a son of Ares the Fates rule his life. His rebirth serves one purpose: to stand with Zeus when he faces Cronus and to die doing it. That never bothered him. He’d lived many lifetimes and knew his destiny, willingly embracing it. But then came Aria, she too was his destiny, his reward. Both his pleasure and his pain. Protect her he would, even if it meant going against the Fates. As a scientist, if Aria couldn’t see it, taste it, touch it or calculate it, it didn’t exist. Until the man from her beautiful dreams showed her everything she believed in was a lie. And now that she knew that, her life was forfeited. *WARNING* This is not an erotic romance. It does however, have sex when warranted and lots of violence and cussing. You have been warned.

    Read Detailed Book Description


    Every Sunday in black churches across America collection plates are passed and parishioners insert their tithes and offerings. The very next day, as those funds are deposited in church bank accounts, the transfer of millions of dollars occurs as those funds are placed in financial institutions that are not owned by African Americans. However, the weekend’s wealth transfer does not end there. It continues throughout the remainder of the week as the majority of mortgage companies, landlords, insurance companies, and vendors most black churches utilize are also not African American-owned. This wealth transfer, estimated at billions of dollars per year, occurs largely unconsciously but its impact is enormous. The transfer would not be so problematic if a reciprocating money stream was flowing from other communities into black-owned enterprises. In other words, if churches from other ethnic groups were collecting funds each weekend and transferring them to black-owned banks and businesses, the two realities would be balanced, with essentially one cancelling out the other. Instead all of the funds are moving in one direction—away from black communities and entrepreneurs. This book is the second installment in a series on group economics, the missing link and Achilles heel of African-American economic progress. The first installment, Why African Americans Can’t Get Ahead: And How We Can Solve It With Group Economics, was published in 2008. The purpose of this book is to explore the economic impact of the transfer of wealth away from black communities via the black church, its impact on those communities, and strategies to reverse this trend.

    The ancient sacred Kemetic wisdom texts declare, "Better is a book than a well-built house, than a tomb in the West. Indeed a book is better than a great house with a solid foundation or a stela in the temple" (Karenga, 1984, p. 84).

    Today, we, and our children, are subject to gangsterized and criminalized images of African people in America in the attempt to justify our extermination. Sophisticated mass media manipulation places these images in broad circulation. Miseducation in many public schools aids this process with textbooks that are woefully insufficient and teachers who lack cultural competence. This book marks the beginning of a highly anticipated series to increase our cultural competence by one of our great Master Teachers.

    Professor Kaba Kamene is a trusted Elder, a Seba (Master Teacher) who opens the door to the Universe so that his students may shine like a star (Obenga). His work as an African-centered educator with over 30 years of public school teaching experience, scholar and professor of Black Studies, represents the continuation of a powerful priestly Kemetic cultural tradition that is essentially African.

    Professor Kamene has a track record of producing excellence in some of the most challenging urban schools and the rare distinction of demonstrating this excellence in working with students from Pre-K to post-doctorate. He is a living library who has apprenticed under sacred African Master Teachers like Dr. John Henrik Clarke and Dr. Asa Hilliard.

    The Maafa is the catastrophic interruption of African sovereignty and civilization. It includes far more than "slavery" and lynching and it is still going on. To emerge in the midst of our captivity with any semblance of African consciousness is nothing short of a miracle, given the fact that the best minds of Europe and America have been put to the task of ensuring that our culture and consciousness be obliterated.

    This book is a literary libation that elevates and celebrates the life and legacy of William Leo Hansberry, the “Father of Black Studies.”

    He had the character, consciousness and commitment to "rescue and reconstruct our history and put it back into the hands of those who created it" (Karenga, 1984). Professor Hansberry, along with Professor Kaba Kamene, constitute a small cadre of keepers of the culture who have labored in the face of continuous high-tech attempts to erase our culture.

    This book is a gift and a treasure. Like the ones that will follow it in this series it is a critical piece in the puzzle for our cultural reconstruction and identity restoration. As my grandmother used to instruct me and my siblings growing up, "read and be wise." —Chike Akua, Teacher Transformation Institute Author of Education for Transformation: The Keys to Releasing the Genius of African American Students.

However, I did not allow my living circumstances hold me back so I created a Workshop for Single Parents while sitting in the car one day. That experience allowed me to teach my daughter a valuable and ‘costly’ lesson that you have to be responsible when it comes to money and don’t focus on what you don’t have or else you’ll never be able to move yourself out of a sticky situation.”

    In Archaeological Decipherment of Ancient Writing Systems I explain how archaeological evidence indicates that African literacy began in the Sahara over 5000 years ago . This earliest form of writing was a syllabic system, we call Thinite, that included hundreds of phonetic signs, which over time was shorten to between 22 and 30 key signs, and used as an alphabet by the Mande people of the Fezzan and Niger Valley, Dravidian speaking people in India, the Sumerians, Elamites, the Xi (Olmecs), Egyptians, Meroites, Phonesians and Ethiopians.

After the Riots, the city of Tulsa suppressed knowledge about the event. It was not taught in schools and even many Tulsa residents are unfamiliar with the Tulsa Riots. It was not until decades later, when the survivors fought for reparations, that the Riots became a part of popular discussion.

    Soft is the New Power: Embracing Your Feminine Edge to Win in Love & Life by Deya “Direct” Smith

    Women have an innate power to attract amazing relationships through understanding and acceptance coupled with the ability to approach life with a feminine touch. With her latest book Soft is the New Power Deya Smith encourages readers to step out of their comfort zone and take a stronger, but softer position to gain what they want.

    Why did you write this book?

    I wrote this book for several reasons. The main reason is that I want to encourage women to be savvy and strategic about how we use the tools of communication to attract and influence. This is particularly true for Black women who are boxed in as all the same and are unfairly branded as loud and confrontational. Similar to how financial experts advise us to diversify our portfolios, I am advising and providing tools to support us in becoming wiser about diversifying our communication portfolios.

    Please explain the title Soft is the New Power.

    The idea is that we can shift our perspective on what it means to be soft and feminine. There is nothing weak about being the softer sex. In fact, it’s extremely powerful if you know how to use it strategically to authentically get want you want and need. We don’t need to win like men because we can do extremely well by winning as women. I share in the book:

    One day, while in a heated argument with an ex, I enjoyed verbal sparring, and debated for fun, thus the moniker “direct” was created; however, on this particular day my ego was crushed when my ex told me something that really hit a nerve. Regarding my tough-as-nails demeanor he said, “If I wanted to date a man, then I would be with one. You will never be as hard as a man so stop trying…” Honestly, I didn’t want to be a hard woman. Like everyone else, I wanted a safe place to be soft and let my guard down, but I had forgotten how. I had some soul searching to do. The first thing I realized was that I looked soft and feminine on the outside, but my energy, my heart and sometimes my mind was more hard and closed off than I was comfortable admitting. Slowly, the soft journey of discovery began. With my newest book, I impress upon women to knock down the hard walls and allow the soft layers within to bloom.

    What do you hope readers will glean from reading your book?

    I focus on two big concepts: The Soft Strategy and The Secret Power of a Man Whisperer. The Soft Strategy explains the concept of soft power and reveal why it’s a game changer. The Secret Power of a Man Whisperer will actively help the reader apply the principles of soft power in her love life. I want readers to walk away understanding the power that they possess to communicate effectively and regain the tools needed to connect to a man’s heart. This book will also help: Exit masculine-mode & enter into your feminine energy;

    • Trust in God and oneself;
    • Experience deeper intimacy and connections;
    • Learn the Art of Becoming a ‘Man Whisperer’;
    • Attract more love, happiness & success

    Imagine the end of the world as we know it has come. How did it happen? A global financial collapse? A nuclear holocaust? A natural disaster? An asteroid strike? A highly infectious viral pandemic? Scientists at the University of Chicago opening a crack in the atmosphere that releases dark matter into the world? There are many ways the Apocalypse can occur. Part of being prepared is your ability to answer some very simple questions: What skills and supplies will you need to survive? Where will you stay or go? Who will be with you? How will you rebuild after it all falls down? Many believe running to the forest and living off the land is the solution. However, the reality is most of us live in cities and will be trapped in those same cities once roads become impassable or are patrolled by the military, thieves and rapists or hordes of starving, desperate people. You had better learn to survive in an urban environment or you and those you love will die…or worse. This Afrikan Warriors’ Guide to SURVIVING THE URBAN APOCALYPSE puts you smack dab in the middle of The End – a global crisis has decimated most of the world’s population; all utilities are turned off; the world has become even more brutal and dangerous than it was before The End. Once you are immersed in the world that WILL one day come, this book gives you the tools that will help you survive it. Along with “Afrikan Martial Arts: Discovering the Warrior Within,” “The Afrikan Warriors’ Bible,” “The Afrikan Warriors’ Guide to Defeating Bullies & Trolls,” SURVIVING THE URBAN APOCALYPSE is a must have in your self-defense and survival toolkit.

What is supposed to be wedded bliss, a wonderful time for the lovers, ends up being a nightmare for the mother of the groom. From the moment the bride-elect is introduced to her future mother-in-law, Mom assesses everything about her from the mints she pops in her mouth, the size shoe she wears, the outdated or “whorish” clothing she chooses, to any other little thing Mom dislikes and that causes her to break out in hives.

A mother-in-law that is a six lays down the law early on, which many daughters-in-law tend to ignore.

    In this fully-revised third edition, the author sketches the history of a church in Kent, Sierra Leone that grew in indirect proportion to the transatlantic slave trade: as it grew, the trade waned. Both the church and the village emerged and developed as a direct result of the British 1807 Abolition Act, by which many thousands of captive Africans were released into Freetown. In writing this short history, the author, whose association with Kent village has spanned more than 40 years, has drawn on the insight of the Anglican Church Missionary Society, officials of the colonial government, and villagers themselves, whose ancestors were there when it all happened.

The one thing I never had or wanted was a family, he was family enough. The only other thing I ever needed was my music. I never pretended to be anything other than what I am, but then she entered my life and my music suffered. I needed to be someone else, anyone else or I could never have her.

    This empowering self-help book is like a mental multivitamin booster shot, providing you with high-level knowledge and concepts that will make you more consciously and intellectually complete. This book helps to fill the gap that often becomes socially and culturally apparent.
    Even if you were raised by great parents, if they weren’t doctors, lawyers, and PhDs, then they probably didn’t have the knowledge base and social sophistication to prepare you to compete against the more socially advantaged in today’s age of information, technology, and ideas. Surrogate Re-Parenting offers the rock-solid foundation of intellectual and social nurturing that every person needs to not only measure up, but also surpass the competition.
    Filled with helpful, witty, entertaining, and mentally fortifying concepts, ideas, and information, this anthology of wisdom for modern-day life deals with the whys, not just the whats, surrounding these concepts and ideas, breaking them down to a level that’s easy for anyone to understand.
    So, if you’re tired of being dumped, replaced, used, rejected, overlooked, and taken as a joke, while other people enjoy being accepted, selected, connected, and respected, this info is for you. If you’re tired of feeling insecure in the presence of those who have more intellectual wisdom to offer, this book is for you. If you’re tired of being left standing alone, while others are chosen because of the intellectual things that others know that you don’t, this book is for you. If you’re tired of being dumped for someone who is more mature, who obviously has greater knowledge and wisdom, this book is for you. If you’re tired of being seen as dumb, senseless, and stupid by others, when you open your mouth to share what’s on your mind, this book is for you. If you know what you want to say, but don’t have the words to help you say it, this book is for you. The information held between these two covers is the real reason why and how men and women choose who to commit and get married to, because this set of high-level information is what they look for in those that they choose to help them nurture, discipline and raise their children.
    If you don’t know it, you can’t teach it. If you know it, but can’t put it into useful words, then you can’t share it.
    If you’re tired of being outclassed and outranked while others move ahead, get picked, promoted, and pass you by, this book is for you. The one who knows the most gets the post. And for those coming from the hood, if you know what I mean, the info in this book is designed to help cause personal transformation. It will get you ready for the life that you want, not just the life that you have.
    Surrogate Reparenting: A.K.A. Get Your Mind Right, is already being called the "family reunion" book. This is because people are getting the book, and passing it around, to the members of their family, before the family reunion takes place. People are doing this so that the whole family will all be on a much higher intellectual level, for taking in the knowledge and logic of Doctors, Lawyers, and Ph.Ds. By having this knowledge in common, the dialogue will help them all to get past some family issues and communicate better, which can cause the family to be able to advance and achieve more, on a whole, which is what family reunions are really supposed to be about anyway.
    So, don’t just allow those who have a leg up because of circumstances of birth sideline you in your personal and professional life. Surrogate Re-Parenting can help you gain the confidence, confirmation, and cerebral strength that will carry you to higher levels of happiness and success.

    Welcome to the sleepy, all-Black southern town of Bledsoe, where Colored residents proudly declare “ain’t nothing white here ‘cept milk and teeth.” It’s 1935. A press-and-curl costs a quarter. Records play on phonographs. And a telephone is a luxury. Meet twenty-three-year-old Taffy Bledsoe Freeman. She doesn’t need her gift of second sight to know her “mockery of a marriage” to a man twice her age is far from good. After a seven-year exile Up North, Taffy travels down-home to the small town bearing her family’s name, plotting her escape from a marriage not worth the price of a press-and-curl. She only needs to retrieve the son her husband banished to her parents’ care, before boarding a train headed for the Windy City filled with liberty and opportunity. Instead, Taffy stumbles into Roam Ellis: the man Taffy meant to marry. Twenty-six-year-old Roam Ellis is a “broad-shouldered, hard-bodied” Pullman porter riding the rails coast-to-coast, outrunning the bitter heartbreak Taffy left behind. Now, after a seven-year absence, Roam is face-to-face with his first love. Anger ignites. Old wounds are exposed. But when pain subsides, passion rises, thrusting Taffy and Roam into a hurricane of buried secrets and lies. Reminiscent of the works of Bernice McFadden, Bertice Berry, and Andrea Smith (The Sisterhood of Blackberry Corner) this Historical Romance is bathed in southern lore and sweeping imagery. Lyrical and powerful, Taffy is a story of restoration and redemption that you won’t soon forget.

    It is the 1830s, and Fima and her mother are rice traders on the West Coast of Africa in the Sherbro River area: a network of mouths of rivers, mangrove mudflats and shifting sandbars where traders can load captives in secret onto vessels whose captains take them across the Atlantic for sale as slaves on auction blocks. Sherbro’s rich agricultural hinterland can produce enough rice to maintain the thousands of slaves kept captive in barracoons during the weeks and months they are waiting to be loaded onto the slave vessels. It also produces enough rice to provision the slave vessels for their transatlantic crossings. Fima dreams of one day owning her own rice business in Sherbro, on her own terms. But when a family crisis occurs and her mother suddenly departs on foot for upcountry, she leaves Fima on her own sooner than she had expected. She also leaves her with an important family heirloom to guard. Fima is excited, and confident she will succeed. Little does she know, however, that people are not always what they appear … .

    Reviewer’s Choice, Midwest Book Review: "The Heritage Keeper is an historical novel based on the true experience of a girl growing up on the West African coast in the 1830s in what is now called Sierra Leone. An extraordinary and highly recommended novel, The Heritage Keeper is an especially recommended addition to personal, middle grade school and community library collections for young readers."

Assuming that the scholarships were renewable annually, this amount could easily pay for four years of college at any American college or university. However, these success stories are the exception, not the rule. They are aberrations among the pool of millions of aspiring college students who submit scholarship applications to the hundreds of companies, foundations and non-profit groups that offer them. The reality is a much different, and sobering, picture. According to federal government estimates, the average undergraduate who borrows money to pay for college graduates with about $28,400 in student loan debt. 101 Scholarship Applications: What It Takes to Obtain a Debt-Free College Education was written specifically to address the issue of college loan debt, and help students and their parents identify scholarship opportunities, as well as develop strategies for submitting applications and winning awards. This book’s author, Gwen Richardson, is a parent who spent nearly two years carefully researching scholarship sources for her teenage daughter, who entered college debt-free as a freshman. The highlight of this book is a comprehensive listing of more than 200 scholarship sources, including award amounts, eligibility requirements and direct web site links.

    Ancient Scripts in South America is about the history of writing in South America. This is the first book to discuss and explain the long history of writing in Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. It explains how the Sumerians, came to Bolivia-Peru in search of minerals, and named the new mining area Kuga-Ki, because of the large tin deposits in the region. It shows how the people of Bolivia-Peru from Sumerian times up to the Inca used Proto-Sumerian linear signs to write inscriptions on paper, leaves and stones.

    In Ancient Scripts in South America, I explain my decipherment of the inscriptions on the Fuente Magna Bowl, Pokotia statue and the writing on the mantas (robes) of Incan Kings. The book will also report on the Axumite writing used by the Moche, and the Malian inscriptions found throughout South America-even at NASCA. Ancient Scripts in South America is the most comprehensive book on Native American writing in South America today. It proves that the Maya and Olmec were not the only Native Americans to possess their own writing systems.

    Authored by Khalid el-Hakim and Dr. Derrick Jenkins, The Center of the Movement: Collecting Hip Hop Memorabilia is a journey through the personal archives of the Black History 101 Mobile Museum’s hip hop artifacts. This journey, narrated by its curator and collector Khalid el-Hakim, a Detroit native, exhibits a lifetime commitment to preserving the cultural relevance of this thing called "hip hop." As hip hop developed and grew, el-Hakim, a life-long hip hop head, grew and developed alongside the culture gleaning all that spoke to him through his journey. Now these hundreds of collectibles are intended to speak to the reader. With personal narratives on each item giving background, significance, and even a value, the items are contextualized and brought to life in personal ways chronicling one of the paths taken in the expanse of hip hop which fostered the birth, rise, and increase of hip hop in the Motor City and ultimately leading to many of the Black History 101 Mobile Museum collection pieces. Through his many travels, with the museum and as one of the vanguards of black cultural preservation, el-Hakim has befriended many artists, collectors, industry insiders, and many others whose voices are heard in the book through interviews, essays, poems, and other artistic expressions, further adding new layers of contexts and depth to the chapters. The Center of the Movement (named after a song on J Dilla’s "Rebirth of Detroit" album) is a fun, informative, and fascinating view into the little known world of hip hop memorabilia collecting and those who do it and have done it for years and the stories of their process of gathering and preserving, as well as an all access entre into the Black History 101 Mobile Museum’s hip hop artifacts and the stories behind them. With interviews from Bill Adler, Paradise Gray, Professor Griff, KRS One, Ernie Paniccioli, Andre LeRoy Davis and others.

    Nominated for a 2016 NAACP Image Award

    The teen years are challenging ones in an individual’s development, especially for girls. The teen years are pivotal as those are the years when girls can either get tripped up—by making huge mistakes—or move up—by excelling academically. Black teen girls in particular often experience even greater challenges because of the negative messages, labels, and images perpetuated by media, music videos, and popular culture.

    Rather than boost the confidence of black teen girls, these negative messages can adversely affect their self-esteem and their concept of self-worth. Low self-esteem can ultimately lead them to internalize these negative labels and make a series of bad choices. By embracing these labels, negative outcomes become a self-fulfilling prophecy for far too many black teen girls.

    But black teen girls have the power to reject these negative labels and embrace positive ones. You Are Wonderfully Made: 12 Life-Changing Principles for Teen Girls to Embrace empowers black teen girls with the tools they need to successfully navigate their teen years and avoid the pitfalls that can derail their futures. The book’s title is based loosely on the biblical scripture in Psalm 139:14: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.’ However, the twelve universal principles in this book are not exclusive for those of the Christian faith nor are they only for black teenagers. They can be adopted by any teen girl, regardless of her family background, economic status, ethnicity, or educational achievement level. Each chapter includes a list of exercises and action steps teen girls can utilize to assist them with adopting these principles.

    The year in political cartoons by Darrin Bell of the Washington Post Writers Group, winner of the 2015 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for Editorial Cartooning. From police brutality to corporate con artists, to rape, to Chris Christie’s Bridgegate, this was the year when everyone got away with everything. If they were rich or powerful, that is. These stunningly-drawn, full color cartoons are thoughtful and evocative. As Amy Lago of the Washington Post Writers Group put it, "Darrin is like a sign language interpreter translating what whites say into what blacks hear. Bell prodded readers to consider how different celebrities are viewed through the prism of race. When two Nypd officers were gunned down, his cartoon illustrated how they lost their lives because of the uniforms they wore. Bell deftly takes on the pressing social issues of the day, from gay rights, to rape victims who are not believed, to children flooding into the United States, hoping for a brighter future.

    Although more and more Americans are practicing meditation, it is still relatively rare among African Americans. In Free Your Mind, Cortez Rainey does something about this by speaking directly to African Americans about meditation. Free Your Mind introduces meditation by using stories about the heroic men and women who journeyed from slavery to freedom on the Underground Railroad. This easy to read guidebook explains how to use meditation principles and techniques at home, either alone or with family and friends, to free your mind from thoughts that keep you shackled and bound. As you apply the principles and practice the techniques, the stories about Underground Railroad heroes and heroines—such as Harriet Tubman—will guide you and inspire you to overcome challenges you encounter while meditating, as well as the ones you encounter in everyday life. Free Your Mind presents meditation as a path that African Americans can use to develop a mind that is free of limiting thoughts. As you journey, you will bring forth more of your inherent goodness, genius, and potential. Eventually, you’ll reach the Promised Land.

    Read Detailed Book Description

    Silence Is Not Always Golden: The Power of Spoken Words is a collection of poetry that is defying the norm. Written words have power because anyone can refer to them. However, spoken words are more powerful because the words are brought to life once they leave the body or a piece of paper. Instead of writing what people want to hear, I wrote what people need to hear. The truth! Sometimes the truth can be beautiful and sometimes it can be ugly. My words and my voice are my weapons and I have to speak up on my beliefs. Other people may not feel as powerful to speak up so I speak up for them. I could not sit there and not say anything. I was taught that you cannot do what everyone else wants; you have to do what YOU want. To be YOU is as original as there can be and people will try to put you down because you are different. I say try because only YOU can let them. My words are my way of fulfilling my purpose because I am making my dream a reality and I am showing you that you can do the same. This edition is slightly different from Silence Is Not Always Golden: A Poetic Revolution because there are clean versions of the poems and a few new poems that were written after I published it.

    Institutional Freedom

    I’m a prisoner of an institution
    Not the prison system
    But institution of higher learning
    They got me tied down and bound
    I can’t be free
    They keep coming after me financially
    Even with the degrees
    Jobs and businesses don’t take me seriously
    They look at my resume
    And toss it to the side
    You could’ve sworn that they
    Saw that I went to San Quentin or some penitentiary
    They saw two rival prestigious universities
    And they asked me, “Who do you represent?”
    I didn’t go to them schools for the sports
    You act like I’m in a gang and I have to claim turf
    I proudly wear my school shirts
    But I might as well be wearing
    Prison identification numbers
    In actuality, I’m in the same boat
    As the person that went to prison
    Thing is, they’ll pick them before me
    Just because they can pay them way less
    How is it that I’m competing for the same jobs
    With ex-cons and I was told that my education is the key
    Key to what?!
    Being treated like I did something wrong
    Yeah, I peeped that I was the bottom 1% at them schools
    Only 20-50 of us graduating out of a couple of thousands?
    Now these jobs looking at me like I didn’t earn my papers
    Like the schools were doing me a favor letting me graduate
    They’re working together to keep me tied down and bound
    That’s what they are: institutions
    Keeping me a prisoner in another form
    They don’t have control over my mind
    I’m Andy Dufresne
    Slowly chipping away at the wall
    If it takes me 5, 10, 20 years to get out
    So be it!
    They don’t know that I have a plan
    Not to be a prisoner of a company
    Nobody’s gonna be telling me when to eat, sleep, work
    They’ll keep transferring me from prison to prison
    Until I’m old enough to collect social security
    And all that hard work was just a waste of my life
    When I’m out, I’m gonna be so long gone
    And chilling with hella paper
    I’m young enough to break free
    And do as I please!

    Dealing with trauma is never easy especially when that trauma is from a rape or sexual assault. One can never blame them selves enough for something that was never their fault. The hardest part of getting over a rape is self-blame, hurt, fear and the silent, yet deafening screams one can never get out of their head. For many victims of sexual assault or rape the pain can be deep and the trauma a secret for many years. The worst part of overcoming such an event is worrying about what others will think of you. Long after a rape or sexual assault has taken place, the suffering continues. I was also a victim of rape at one time and have since become an overcomer. Maybe you know someone who has overcome the trauma of rape or a sexual assault. Maybe that person that’s still suffering is you. My hope is that today you see yourself not as a victim but as an overcomer. Hands Off is all about overcoming rape or a sexual assault and taking back your power. If I can overcome it, so can you!

    In these 15 poignant stories, Melanie S. Hatter explores the tenuous hold we have on those we love, the heartache of loss, and the peace of self-discovery. The characters make their way through an often confusing world. They grapple with the complex nature of relationships and struggle to understand their place in such roles as wife, husband, lover, mother, daughter. From the District of Columbia to North Carolina, from Colombia to Italy, each story draws the reader in with crisp writing, rich characters and intimate settings. “Melanie Hatter is an adept seer in the manner of Marita Golden and Maxine Clair. Her catchy stories play out in the shadowbox of the heart — familial dramas loaded with emotional spunk and live wires that spit and short out in a burst of fireworks. She plunks us down among generations of women trapped in the fantasy of happily ever, their damaged goods men, their family problems, their schemes, and their despair. These spirited characters, kidnappings, betrayals, obsessions, and losses, resonate long after you close this spectacular book. ” ~ Richard Peabody, editor, Gargoyle Magazine

    If you were left with questions after reading “Hidden in Plain View” by Tobin & Dobard, this book has the answers. The 1st book done by Dr. Ozella William’s family. It’s a presentation of 5 generation’s collective research. In the "Keeper of the Fire", they share age-old fabrics of internationally gathered photos of the quilt patterns on homes, art & people. Her European family is documented from 149 AD. This starts the documentation of Farrow-McDaniel’s African history sources. They tell their own story. Few Americans read multi-lingual sources preserved centuries by international slavers. They piece a sampler quilt for you. Using common sense as binding, primary sources the stitching, gathering African metallurgy & symbols Mrs. Kemp exposes distortions/omissions. THE RESEARCH CONTINUES: Here is what they know. In 1844, Thomas Dover, willed Dover Hall Plantation estate to nephew, William D. Jenkins. Peter & Eliza Farrow, are listed among the subjugated workers. Serena mother’s, (Mary Eva) great-grandparents survived slavery & had a son in 1850’s. Named Peter Farrow Jr. after his father, he continued in service to his extended family & community. He shared Igbo culture with his children (Tom, Frank Nora & Jency), and his great grandchildren. Peter died in 1946 in SC. They have 6 generations living, the oldest turned 104, Aug. of 2014 & 5 family members in the 90’s. MS. WILSON’S AUNT TRAVELED TO GERMANY: Aunt Ozella traveled to tour with her family several times. In Europe Ozella, would point out stolen African or purchased artifacts. Ms. Kemp also visited with Ozella in Los Angeles, CA for 2 weeks in 1975. The Quilt Code was not created in 1990’s, Ozella (Mary Eva’s sister) copyrighted the "Quilt Codes" in 1950, 6 years after her grandfather died. The late Mrs. Wilson & Mrs. T. Kemp re-applied & received the US Copyrights. 2" KNOTS: Mnemonic devices used in quilts. Knots in quilts are similar to Catholic rosary, used as points of Godly contact. For centuries history was memory, songs, paintings, monoliths or in tapestries. Each method of recording are accepted worldwide as communication. In communicating with God for Igbo groups, everything can be used, as a way of making tangible the belief of protection over them. ONE FAMILY’S HISTORY: The Torah, Koran & Bible are stories of Abraham’s family. Israel’s presence in W. Africa, being taken worldwide for slavery, I guess does qualify as just “one families” story, Mrs. Kemp was told by her mother. ”I’m baffled why some American quilting & scholarly communities were confounded by the idea of maps & messages depicted in a quilt. We’re not the only ethnic group who used textile maps. My children asked questions about racism & views of people doubting history of ancient African people. You speak textile language,” noted Mrs. Kemp. Newspapers show people wanted to enslave Irish & German immigrants! “Nothing can change ignorance but education. Education doesn’t change the mistakes made by not knowing history and not learning from previous bad behavior”, said Mrs. Kemp. Igbo followed the Levitical Code. Everything is seen from Chukwu (God’s) view. (Like "WWJD"–What Would Jesus Do) “Age is not excuse for idleness. Everyone has a duty to perform, some pray, some have strength, tools or knowledge, others time and money. Even if you don’t need help now, sooner or later you’ll benefit”, says, Kemp. Teresa Kemp, 5th generation master quilter with her late parents, Dr. Howard & Serena Wilson, own one of the largest private collections. She exhibits, consults & collaborates worldwide. Teaching “freedom through obedience to God’s Word”, The mission-teach the “Golden Rule”, delayed gratification & reconciliation skills to at risk-populations, one program at a time. Kemp still sounds the alarm, fighting modern day slavery called “Human Trafficking” with God driven intensity & zeal.

This is contemporary noir at its best, offering all the familiar pleasures of the genre, but giving them a modern makeover. Yes, this is a violent world that Nate inhabits, but he steers a true and moral course through the layers of deception, skullduggery and sometimes worse that make these stories such high-density entertainment. Nate’s a great character and these stories do him justice and more. “ T. Jefferson Parker Author of “The Famous and the Dead”

It is possible to slow the decline, undo specific damage and return to a previous state of health and vitality…to yesterday’s you! Why you need it If you fear getting old before your time.

If you fear not having the mental focus, physical stamina or youthful glow of earlier times, then you need this information to take control of your health and the direction of your life and become one of those people who others say never seem to age;
    If you follow even a few of these suggestions, you can keep your skin and hair young eliminate allergies restore your energy improve your complexion remove harmful toxins from the body lose weight increase virility, and more Where it comes from This information is based on a set of truths that have been known for centuries. First among these truths is the fact that the body is coded to heal. Scientists tell us the body regenerates and rejuvenates itself. Cells die and are replaced. Organs replace themselves over the course of years. What’s missing in the equation is simple: our society and its practices simply don’t give the body the resources and rest it needs in order to function optimally. Our society moves us away from pristine conditions and environments that support the body’s healing code. Yesterday’s You shows you how to recreate those internal conditions and external environments in today’s society.

    Unless you give your body the specific nutrients it requires and unless you create the environment and conditions that activate and support the body’s healing and rejuvenation code, you will age and experience the same deterioration everyone else you know is experiencing. Get The set of stable truths that inform the protocol A comprehensive list of key foods and supplements A step-by-step "Getting Started" guide An overview of what it will require and what to expect Detailed instructions for all the "secret" practices How to incorporate it into your daily life Client testimonials Even a few recipes!
    plus:
    informational charts, worksheets, plus a ton of resources (books, videos, websites) for more information, purchasing products and much, much more! If you’re thinking: "I know what I need to be doing…
    I just need some strategies for sticking to it!"
    This is a set of new habits, food substitutions, preparation tips, all based on a new understanding of your body and how it works. The reason many diets and other protocols don’t work is that they seek to maintain a paradigm of the body and a paradigm of health and healing that is outdated and simply wrong. I start with a whole new paradigm as the foundation and build a new set of habits from the ground up.

    One Hour To Wealth was written in response to the last four years of my life. I was looking at how I could generate extra income due to the instability of the job market. Everything I saw about business discussed people who already made six figures and decided to take out a second mortgage on their half a million dollar home. I searched and searched looking for books about secrets and visions, but none of these books really gave me the direction I needed. There was nothing that taught a person from a single parent household, who was also a first generation college graduate with school loans, how to take a great idea and begin to make it happen. I decided in 2008 to document my own personal journey and then I created 25 Key Points that I have been using to launch my own entrepreneurial efforts. After three years of writing, I finally feel that One Hour to Wealth is a book that both the everyday person and the current business owner can pick up and find interesting direction for starting a venture. Instead of giving advice that is a repeat of everything in all of the books that are already out there, I actually give a detailed step by step workshop in book form and then I support it with my Key Points to help keep you motivated. The book details my own problems with debt and how I learned to deal with it. I think by giving you my story, you will be able to see similarities in your own life. I feel that this personal connection will give you the motivation to continue when things get difficult for you. While there are richer people out there, better business men, people who can show you better homes and cars, my life is full of the wealth that I think all people seek and all people deserve.

    The organizations in this Snap Shot study play a vital role in the cultural arts field highlighting institutions that reflect the aesthetic spectrum of excellence grounded in the international community perspectives that nurtured their growth. These organizations reflect the rich tapestry of racial and cultural groups that are major contributors to the cultural life of this nation. They also represent important pillars in the infrastructure of historically underserved and under-resourced communities of color and poor white rural sectors. This initial ³Snap Shot² has raised more questions than it answers. It is clear that a more extensive, in-depth study must be conducted to fully understand how organizations that are critical assets to their communities and influence the cultural diverse programming of large organizations are still fragile and at risk of surviving. Similar to the questions raised by the Occupy Wall Street Movement, how does the role of the top 1% of wealthy individuals, corporate, foundation, and public funders, influence policies to disproportionately support the more endowed organizations and under resource the community cultural organizations that reflect the 99%? Historical underfunding coupled with economic crisis have further impacted the ability of these important organizations to sustain their operations and some of the Snap Shot organizations have been forced to close their doors. Others continue to struggle to survive while serving their communities who are also at risk due to the fiscal crisis that has heightened unemployment, homelessness and decreased social services vital to the infrastructure of underserved communities. These community cultural arts organizations are in large part multidisciplinary in their framework and are beacons of light for communities that still believe in the promise of equal opportunity and access for all. Since the second edition of Cultural Centers of Color by the National Endowment for the Arts, December 1993 (first edition, August 1992) there has not been a critical look at the state of the community cultural arts field. This preliminary study begins to address this void by identifying a sample of multidisciplinary cultural arts community organizations that developed specifically to address the cultural and artistic contributions, histories, and cultural legacies of their communities to a national audience. The work of these organizations have been instrumental in making visible and insisting that the stories of their communities are part of our nations narrative. The realization that these vital small and mid-size community organizations survive in a year-to-year funding world speaks to the commitment of Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and audiences that are committed to their survival. It is our expectations that this Snap Shot of Community Based Cultural Arts Organizations encourages policymakers, funders, and communities to understand the critical voices that these institutions contribute to the cultural life of the Nation, our international profile, and their immediate communities.

    Fit to Breed will reveal a simple, yet shocking truth about your sexual health that no one else is talking about, and that truth is this: If you are impotent it is because Nature has classified you as "UNFIT TO BREED." Let me repeat a little louder: You are impotent because
    Nature has classified you
    "UN-FIT to breed." And until you are RE-classified as "FIT to Breed," your impotence will continue and worsen!

    There is perhaps nothing more vital to a man’s sense of well being and masculinity than his ability to achieve and sustain an erection to please his partner. There are many products on the market that are capitalizing on this desire, and while some are seen as effective in the short-term, none of them will ever be completely effective or safe in actually curing impotence.

    I can say this with complete and utter certainty because all these so-called remedies or cures are missing the boat entirely on what really causes impotence, and thus, how to actually reverse it. Fit to Breed will change that.

    Too many men are killing themselves to stay virile using all sorts of pharmaceutical pills and unnatural methods that the so-called "experts" have convinced them are right. In Fit to Breed…Forever, you will learn everything you need to know to understand the causes of impotence from an entirely different perspective, and then, how you can transformor more accuratelyreturn your body’s operation to the way Nature designed it and start enjoying the vitality, virility and fun you’ve dreamed of and deserve as a man:

    In Fit to Breed…Forever, you’ll find out:

    The elements of your belief system about food, the body, health, illness and healing that are making you impotent, and why the drug companies don’t want you to ever access THE TRUTH AND YOUR TRUE POWER.

    The MYTHS AND ILLUSIONS of modern living and health through medicine that keep most people trapped on an inevitable path towards impotence.

    The 7 TRUTHS you must internalize and act upon if you want to succeed - and why 6 out of 7 is not good enough.

    10 real CAUSES OF "IMPOTENCE" society doesn’t talk about and would rather have you believe don’t exist, plus the simple remedies you need to implement.

    The one thing you are probably doing each day that makes the next line of vital interest to you…

    Jamaican VIRILITY SECRETS to reduce your "comeback" time (never intended to be shared outside Jamaica!)

    The daily routine and PROTOCOL that will make your equipment PERFORM like it was designed to and PERMANENTLY ELIMINATE the need for viagra-type drugs.

    Read Detailed Book Description

    Memoirs of a Mad Black Educator by Bobby Dixon is a critical reflection on the education reform movement through the personal experiences of this African-American educator. Dixon fictionalizes some of his experiences to delineate the emergence of a new educational power structure, which entails the marriage of philanthropy, federal government policy, charter school operators, new forms of teacher training and administrator training programs, the profitable testing industry, mayoral control of large school districts, among other entities.

    This new educational power structure not only advocates the privatization of public education, but forces it down the public’s throat. The consequence is the growing obsolescence of the public school and the public school teacher. There are massive firings and layoffs of skilled, veteran teachers and principals nationwide to make way for alternatively trained teachers and principals. Likewise there are nationwide closings of schools in minority and poor communities to make way for charter schools and special school districts.

    This new structure has either eliminated or coopted teacher unions. It has devastated the solid, local economy of minority communities, abolishing jobs and benefits for not only teachers, but bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, etc. In short, it has created the colonization of school districts with new “rulers”s or managers and sources of influence. This new transformation has taken place without choice, undemocratically, and without showing any improvement in test scores for students. Studies have shown that public schools have always performed as well or better than charter schools. This new power structure is based on a business model that seeks monetary “returns on its investment.” It is guided by “mission statements” and “vision statements” as any business would be. It advocates a market-driven system with “choice” at its core. It also relies heavily, to an extreme, on data, on test scores.

    Dixon contends that besides wreaking havoc upon public education and undermining its democratic core, this new power structure is also replacing trust in teachers and local school boards with the dictatorship of mayoral control, state control, or private control. We have to resist this madness by organizing at the grassroots level.

Adam Henig underscores this point and more in his brief but incisive biography of Haley. Much more can be said about this magnificent writer and if Henig’s book doesn’t ignite this search, it will stand as a worthy pursuit of Haley’s contribution to American letters.” —Herb Boyd, author of Baldwin’s Harlem: A Biography of James Baldwin and co-editor of By Any Means Necessary: Malcolm X: Real, Not Reinvented

    In 1977, following the airing of the mega hit television mini-series Roots, its author, Alex Haley, became America’s newest “folk hero. ” He was on his way to becoming the most successful author in the history of publishing until it all fell apart.

    Based on interviews of Haley’s contemporaries, personal correspondence, legal documents, newspaper accounts, Adam Henig investigates the unraveling of one of America’s most successful yet enigmatic authors.

Who is the tall and mysterious Elle, and who was the troubled Victoria? Why is the condor still following Letty?

    African Mathematics: History, Textbook and Study Guide aims to meet several objectives. Firstly, the book gives a historical overview of Africa and its contribution to Mathematics. Secondly, the book provides the teacher and the learner with study materials that can be used in the classroom. Thirdly, the book introduces some of the numerical patterns and puzzles that has fascinated one of the authors John Matthews. Fourthly, the book introduces the lectures, classes and workshops that the two authors teach on these subjects. Mathematics has an interesting history in Africa.

    This history forms the first part of the book. The earliest known mathematical artifact in human history is the Lebombo Bone. Thought to be 37,000 years old, it was discovered by archaeologists in South Africa. Scholars believe that the number system carved into the bone represents a lunar calendar. Later mathematical evidence comes from the Ishango region of Central Africa, Ancient Egypt, Medieval North Africa, Ethiopia, Medieval West Africa and Medieval Central Africa.

    Mathematics teachers have asked for material that can be used in the classroom where these African mathematical ideas can be used, tested or even challenged. To this aim, the second part of the book presents classroom material that can engage children. Each lesson demonstrates a mathematical principle followed by classroom exercises that the pupils can attempt. We have provided perhaps 22 hours worth of teaching and learning material.

    The third part of this book was written wholly by John Matthews, a secondary school mathematics teacher. It contains a sample of his tips and short cuts that any pupil of mathematics can profitably use to improve their engagement with number. Mr. Matthews also believes that students of mathematics should enjoy detecting patterns in number sequences. In the fourth part of the book he presents a sample of his own discoveries in this area. He also presents classroom exercises that the pupils can attempt.

If you had told Deka in 2005, as she sat on a plane bound for America, that she would one day wish to be in Nigeria, she would have spat in your face. Nigeria had been hell for her. She lived in a one room boys-quarter with 7 family members. She could not go to college or get a job. Poverty and Corruption were rampant. Nigerians who had the means had since fled the country. She would have left sooner, but had lacked the funds to do. She was never coming back. She was sure of it. America was going to be great. She was sure of it.

    But seven years later, Deka was doing just that, trying to return to Nigeria. America had turned out to be a nightmare, and she wanted to return home.

      On her first visit back, Deka realizes that not only has Nigeria moved on without her, but that she has changed. Irrevocably. She can no longer live in Nigeria the way she had previously done. Since she does not want to live in America, she arrives at a cross road. Does she continue with her plans to return to Nigeria or does she learn to work with America?

    SECOND EDITION, AUGUST 2016, WITH FOUR NEW ILLUSTRATIONS: In the summer of 1960 before his senior year in high school, Jeff Klossen canoodles friends Randy and Lori into joining him in canoeing every lake and stream around Cleveland. Dynamics between the teens change as they battle rapids, and waters poisoned by pollution. Though at first the boys assume the lead, Lori’s daring and determination win her admiration and an equal place on the team. As Jeff and Lori become interested in each other, their conversations lead them to investigate the racial segregation of their neighborhood. After a canoeing accident on an angry Lake Erie, they meet Walter Madison from the black part of the city, and Jeff and Lori wonder if they can make him and his friend Sarah a part of their lives. In the end, the pair confront both race relations and environmental damage in the city. Novelist-poet-playwright Stanford Pritchard describes it thus: “Canoedling in Cleveland is a really nifty book: much more dark, and varied, than the early chapters suggest it’s going to be. It has treachery, tragedy, love, acceptance, and forgiveness. Even though nobody gets off easy, and this is by no means a feel-good story, it’s full of hope and idealism. It’s a bittersweet, deeply touching coming-of-age tale. What starts as an innocent summer pastime gradually forces five young people to confront both the limits of personal friendship, and the hard injustices of the larger world. Swept along on ever more powerful currents, their journey becomes as steeped in tender memory as the film ’Summer of ’42’, and as timeless as Huckleberry Finn.” In the 23rd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, the judge issued five points (“outstanding”) in each of the six categories evaluated and concluded with the sentence, “Morris has done a wonderful job, creating a book that deserves a place in every middle school and high school library.”

    What is the world’s oldest religion? What is the true religion for Black people? What was Africa’s original religion? Early Africa and its religious heritage should be of interest to the people of modern Africa and the Black Diaspora. Divided into three parts, this book, Blacks and Religion Volume One, addresses the big questions. The first part of this book is entitled: What did Africa contribute to the Origin of Religion? It addresses the Ancient and Traditional African religions and shows the common concepts that existed between them. The second part of this book is entitled: The Equinox and the Real Story behind Easter. It addresses the Spring Equinox and shows that many early religions practiced similar ideas at that time of the year. The third part of this book is entitled: Understanding the Book of the Dead. It addresses the content and symbolism of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. This is the most influential set of religious texts in the history of religion. While superficially difficult to understand, the Egyptian Book of the Dead is not as strange or as difficult a text as it at first appears.

    Gangbanging had been a destructive force in Los Angeles County for nearly thirty years, and resulted in the murders of thousands of Black and Hispanic males. As the millennium approached, gang wars between Bloods, Crips, and different Crip factions continued to harm the Black community. Violent crime resulted in the forced removal of Black males from the Black community through murder and incarceration. And despite the negativity caused by gangbanging, Black youth continued to enter that lifestyle.

    Antoine Edwards was raised in the City of Hawthorne, which was one of 88 cities in Los Angeles County. He never knew his father, and his mother was addicted to crack cocaine. His grandmother raised him, and although she wanted the best for him, her plan was unable to compete with the negativity that surrounded them.

    Before Antoine became a teenager, he joined the local street gang. The influence of the older members of the gang turned him into an adolescent robber and killer. He embodied the gangster lifestyle and sought to be a successful gangbanger instead of a productive, law-abiding member of society. Antoine cared little about the harm his actions caused his people and community. But he was eventually forced to suffer the consequences of his actions, and when that occurred, it was too late for his life to be redeemed.

Would a smile immediately spread across your face, only to be just as quickly replaced with a sinister glare?

    People will do whatever they can to bully you into doing what they want you to do, including exclude you from others you know, tell your most trusted secret, lie, and even spread rumors from one person to another, all in an effort to hurt you. We are all familiar with the milkman characters from decades back. He came to your door with fresh bottles of cold milk, but that wasn’t all that he carried with him. His day consisted of going from house to house, with a wealth of secrets, rumors, and lies he picked up during his daily rounds. He was just like people you know who go around and talk behind your back, all to make you look bad and feel humiliated, by saying, “The milkman said you did…” You may be asking, “What did I do to deserve this?” The answer is, nothing. You did nothing to deserve this treatment. Some folks are just not happy, so they use a tactic called “relational aggression” to gain control over others. If you are not sure who these folks are around you every day, this book will help you to identify who and where they are in your life, and how to stop them by using positive tactics. Don’t Tell the Milkman If You Don’t Want Him to Tell the World is a book that focuses on rumors, secrets, lies, and gossip spread by people you know, and don’t know, in aggressive and non-aggressive manners. I, just like you, have had my fair share of dealings with the milkman.

    Did you know that African Americans in Oklahoma created a ‘Negro Wall Street’ in the early 1920s? The Oklahoma city of Tulsa in 1921 had a Black hospital, a Black public library, 2 Black public schools, 2 Black newspapers, 2 Black theatres, 5 hotels, 13 churches, 30 restaurants and perhaps 600 Black businesses! What was the story of this great Black achievement? What happened to all of this? In the first half of this book, Robin Walker addresses these questions. What does it take for an individual to replicate the kind of economic success that the people of Black Wall Street achieved? In the second part of this book, Robin Walker presents his own ideas on what it takes to become successful. He outlines The Seven Key Empowerment Principles that any individual needs to use as a minimum to replicate that kind of success. He shows that individuals need four things to make it in the money game. They need Inspiration, Correct Knowledge, a Personal Plan, and the Seven Key Empowerment Principles. Inspiration gives individuals ‘the WHY.’ Correct Knowledge gives individuals ‘the TARGET.’ A Personal Plan gives people ‘the HOW.’ Finally, The Seven Key Empowerment Principles is ‘the CEMENT’ that holds ‘the WHY,’ ‘the HOW’ and ‘the TARGET’ together.

    Have you ever asked yourself why you struggle finding healthy, loving romantic relationships? Marla Washington’s book, “Dating Without A Daddy” offers a unique perspective as to why some of you find yourselves in unhealthy romantic relationships. She suggests some of your problems can be traced back to childhood and that growing up fatherless may have a profound effect on your love choices. Daddy is a term of endearment. This word signifies a special relationship between a father and child. Almost every little girl at one time or another envisioned having a daddy, a strong male to hold, to kiss and to just hear him say, “you’re daddy’s little girl and I will always love you.” But for millions of young girls having a dad is just a fantasy. And for those of you who didn’t have a dad as a young girl, as you transition into womanhood, there becomes this constant need to fill this void with any male figure. “Dating Without A Daddy” is more than an analysis of the problem and a laundry list of don’ts. Marla Washington offers the ‘must do’s for avoiding being a victim of fatherlessness and successfully discovering a worthy life partner. Consider this book an intervention for those of you who don’t have a father or father figure to tell you some of the things needed to discern the men you pursue and the men who pursue you. This book is a critical insight into the lives of fatherless daughters looking for love.

Located near present-day Oakland, California, the town is home to a little less than 500 citizens. In Ridgeway, everybody knows everybody else- which can be a good thing- or a bad thing. The Roses of Ridgeway: The feisty, determined female citizens of the settlement. They are intelligent, loving, and know their own minds- but they are far from perfect. The Roses are: Lilly Warren, Prudence Emerson, and Valerie Ridgeway. **Please Note**: The Roses of Ridgeway series books are SWEET in nature.

However, sexual relations take place behind closed doors and are not portrayed on the page. Therefore, these books are appropriate for readers of all ages, from young, to mature, to young at heart. The Darling of the Founding Family Valerie Ridgeway is the granddaughter of Ridgeway’s founder, and the sole heir to the town’s ownership. A tall, graceful beauty, she’s had a slew of suitors- most every eligible man within fifty miles of town has come courting for her. Despite her loveliness, however, Valerie has developed a reputation for rejecting men with her icy demeanor. Only a select few of the townsfolk know the secret shame that fuels her bitterness. Approaching thirty, she’s given up on the fairy tale of marriage, choosing instead to give her time and effort to the betterment of the race. The Keeper of the Peace Noah Rogers, Ridgeway’s sheriff, takes his job very seriously. An intense man by nature, he bears the responsibility of the safety of the townsfolk, with only a single deputy to aid him. He’s eschewed romantic entanglements in order to give his full focus to his very important work- that is, until he lay eyes on Miss Ridgeway. He’s desired her from afar, biding his time, watching as she cut down a string of "suitable men," one after another. He’s aware of her reputation; still, he senses a vulnerable, radiant creature beneath all the sass and ire, one he intends to discover. A Budding Love… A Town in Jeopardy Just as Noah begins to woo Valerie, a rash of crime invades the usually peaceful environment of Ridgeway. When the safety of the innocent citizens of town becomes more threatened than ever before, Noah must find a way to protect them, and the woman he loves. But when shocking violence, loss, and grief threaten to unravel their hard-won courtship, will they find a way to overcome it all, so that Valerie can truly begin loving the lawman?

On the contrary, I believe that the ingredients for a good story or poem can come from many venues: experiences, imagination, and observations just to name a few. What makes the story or poem come to life is its writer, the wordsmith and the execution. This book of Private Thoughts and Love Lessons from poetry sessions promises to take you on a ride from the inspiration of love to the adventures of “oh, lala!”

    Read Detailed Book Description


    Nine Faces of Love is a collection of love story from a National Best Selling Novelist described by Publishers Weekly as follows. "McCann’s Strength lies in his ability to weave an engaging tale from the lives of ordinary folk.” The plot lines are intriguing, the characters memorable and the stories stay with you long after the stories end. Nine Faces of Love displays the bare-bones prose style for which Novelist, Timmothy B. McCann is famous. In a collection of works that span over twenty years, we see the evolving of an artist, a kaleidoscope of emotions and, as the title portrays, nine different faces of the much sought after emotion we call love. The book starts with a non-fiction homage to a woman he met on his first national book tour entitled No Ordinary Pain. It was a piece originally penned for Chicken Soup for the African American Soul, but was never published due to the author’s decision that the story was just too personal to release at that time. It’s a story of a love that is fraught with the perils of normal relational ups and down but culminates in an ending that will leave you breathless. It’s a great piece to start such a roller coaster of emotions. There are three delightful stories that deal with love from a different perspective. It’s a love that is almost shared in the story The Imperfect Date. A story about a man who is recently widowed, and is trying to reconnect with who he is after he discovers the only woman he ever loved—never loved him. There’s a story entitled Thanks for What Could Have Been, about a woman who has spent her life waiting for the next bus. A woman wondering what her life could have been. And there’s a story entitled Him and Her. A whimsical look at love through the eyes of a college student who is “smitten” by a woman who marries the school jock and he later becomes one of the most famous men in the world. There is also a piece he wrote 48 hours before the publishing deadline entitled "Why We Make Love." Its the story of two journalist who have been married for only a month and are forced to separate due to an overseas assignment. The authors goal was to wrote an erotic love story without sex. You will find this the hottest non sexual love story you may have ever read. And there is a story entitled "One Thousand Words," with an ending that may leave you speechless. Lastly there’s the deeply personal story entitled Daddy Mom and another one entitled One Witness. In Daddy Mom we read a non-fictional account of the travails of single fatherhood. It’s the anatomy of a fathers love. And in One Witness, we read an extended excerpt of the author’s next novel. In this aspect of love we see what happens when love goes dark. Very dark and very violent. Each story is written with heart, yet none of the stories are mired by the clichéd or melodramatic tricks and tools of the trade. The author pushes the envelope with carefully crafted characters that will become a part of you and prose that will make you want to speak the words aloud. These stories bear careful re-reading, like any work of art. McCann is an author that can have you laughing aloud on one page and crying on the next. Like an author given a paint pallet containing all of the colors of the rainbow, he endeavors to push every emotion within you, as he shows you Nine Faces of Love.

    Winner of Honorable Mention in the 2009 Organization of Black Screenwriters Original Script Contest. Story Hank Gilliam is a white Tulsa news writer in his 40’s working for a local paper during the 1970’s. Tulsa, Oklahoma - and the country at large - is in the midst of major social change and Hank undergoes a mid-life crisis as he struggles to determine his new place in the world. His all-white suburban neighborhood is thrown for a loop when a black family moves next door to him. After the paper he works for is taken over by new management, his job is threatened unless he can come up with a provocative story. Almost on a dare, he decides to write about the Tulsa Race Riots, a tragic event which occurred over fifty years prior that resulted in the destruction of the Greenwood community of Tulsa - later known as "The Black Wall Street". He suspects a cover-up due to his inability to find much evidence that even confirms that the Riot occurred. Hank almost gives up on his investigation until he is contacted by a survivor who gives an eyewitness account of the events leading up to the Riots as well as the riot itself. In the process, he riles up his suburban community who largely wants this event buried in Tulsa history and discovers long-buried vile secrets about those he admires. Why this story is important On May 31, 1921 the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma was one of a number of prosperous districts in the country that would be destroyed as a result of racial conflict. Less than 16 hours later, the Tulsa Riots would leave around 10,000 blacks homeless, and 35 city blocks made up of 1,256 residences destroyed by fire. The official count of the dead by the Oklahoma Department of Vital Statistics was 39, but other estimates of black fatalities have been up to about 300. After the Riots, the city of Tulsa suppressed knowledge about the event. It was not taught in schools and even many Tulsa residents are unfamiliar with the Tulsa Riots. It was not until decades later, when the survivors fought for reparations, that the Riots became a part of popular discussion.

    Puffy: people whose hair defies gravity is a children’s book of text and photographs featuring kids, teens, adults, and families with naturally puffy hair. Writer/performer/educator Aya de Le n put out a call for photos. Individuals and families from far and wide submitted pictures that reflect the pride, wonder, and delight that so many people feel in having hair that defies gravity.

    We live in a world that works to subdue the natural exuberance of children in a myriad of ways, and this includes attempts to subdue their hair. The Puffy Hair Project is a celebration of the authentic, untamed self as expressed through our hair. The selection of photos primarily reflects people of the African diaspora, and it includes people of Asian, Latina/o, Arab, and Jewish heritage, as well. It is designed to provide puffy-haired kids with positive images, and to provide all of us with an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful diversity of our world.

    The text is inspired by the simple yet memorable style of Dr. Seuss:

    “Puffy here.
    Puffy there.
    Yay I love my puffy hair.”

    “This is a great book for children and their friends of all ages. It has a classic form, lyrical rhythms, and wonderful photographs that reflect a great variety of the puffy-haired. A much-needed addition to any and all libraries.” -Paci Hammond, elementary school librarian, Oakland, CA.

    Excerpt: Kesi’ Shaw’s “Black Hollywood (The Oscar Poem)”

    In 2001, Halle Berry won the prestigious award
    for her role in Monster&rsquos Ball
    Was it because her bare breast brought
    back memories of white slave masters
    sneaking into slave quarters after dark
    to test the theory &ldqu”o;the darker the berry,
    the sweeter the juice?
    Or was it her vulnerability that allowed her
    to beg Billy Bob Thornton to “make me feel good”
    that sounded so familiar?
    So you mean to tell me
    Her strong willed-determined-to-overcome-adversity persona
    in Things We Lost in the Fire
    and Losing Isaiah were not worthy?
    Her command of respect and acknowledgment
    in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge
    was not worthy?
    But getting naked and fucking a white man
    on the couch is an award-winning
    performance

Throughout the book there are several reasons why Jewish men make fantastic lovers, husbands & fathers. I also explore why Jewish men are very compatible with professional African-American women as well as young thriving Caucasian females. Overall, finding Mr.Right is not a one size fits all and involves a multi-prong approach. One must date with quality in mind,be open to interracial dating,observe good dating etiquette, be willing to try different dating methods,address any personality issues that may be acting as an obstacle to you interacting with Mr.Right, and apply faith in dating. It is my wish that every woman finds her “Prince Charming” and every man becomes “Prince Charming.”

    Pryor Lives! How Richard Pryor Became Richard Pryor By Cecil Brown How did a scraggly standup comic became one of America’s most controversial social satirists? How did Richard Pryor take the traditional stand-up form and used it to become a cultural hero? Cecil Brown, who, after witnessing Mr. Pryor’s performance at Mandrake’s in 1969 in Berkeley, California, became his running buddy for the next 30 years. He traveled with Mr. Pryor, wrote screenplays for him, and collaborated with him on other projects. Using many years of intimate experiences behind the scenes, Mr. Brown traces the evolution of Mr. Pryor’s "white bread" comedy," (in which he imitated Bill Cosby) to the hilariously raunchy material that catapulted him to international fame. Following Mr. Pryor’s career from the small standup performances in Berkeley to his performances at the Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, the author shows how Mr. Pryor used his stage performances to transform the harsh unforgiving realities of his life (tax evasion, domestic violence, freebase meltdown, heart attacks) into classic American comic art. Tracking Mr. Pryor’s rise to star power, this book shows how Mr. Pryor made Stand-Up, into an instrument of spontaneity and a serious platform for public joking. If Pryor had stayed with this program, he would have been just another brilliant comedian. But, as Brown reveals, Mr. Pryor went further. His art depended on his locating, exposing, and tracking the demons that plagued his audience. His performance on stage resembled a shaman performing a ritual of exorcism. As a healer, he used comedy to nurse the damaged souls of the counter-culture, the black power community, the hippies, the new-age, the born-again Christians back to health. There is no better example of this phenomena than the Hollywood Bowl incident that took place in 1977 in Los Angeles, in which Mr. Pryor addressed a 17, 000 crowd that was celebrating support for Gay Pride. He chastised the white and largely gay audience for not giving attention to the suffering of inner city Blacks. The audience booed and hissed him. As one member of the audience later recalled, "Pryor presented his backside to us and informed us we could kiss his ’rich, black ass!’". The honesty that Mr. Pryor offered that evening still reverberates in our society today and has caused the gay community to become for aware of the misfortunate of others. Written in a humorous, scholarly, witty style, this biography earns the accolades that Pryor himself wrote about his friend. "I have never met a writer who loved his work as much as Cecil Brown," Pryor wrote in praise of Brown’s novel, Days Without Weather (1983), "The humor, the warmth, and even the smell are beautiful. The gentleness with which he handles his memories of his character is great." "A great writer, and a great friend," he said, on the Bicentennial Nigger album.
    Book Reviews: Forget about those other books written ostensibly about Richard Pryor! Finally, there is a sensitive, revealing and truthful book concerning Richard Pryor and how he became the funniest man in America on stage and on film. Part memoir, and part eyewitness to Show Business history, Cecil Brown’s book, PRYOR LIVES! is the most definitive book to date about the late comedian’s rise to unparalleled stardom. From living and working in Berkeley, California - to being swallowed up by the infested shark-filled waters of Hollywood, the reader will see Richard Pryor with a new, eye-opening perspective - as Cecil Brown writes with empathy and passion about Pryor’s comedy, his life-style, and the tragic events that encompassed his life. Read this book! It’s ground breaking in its scope and style! And it is funny as hell! Robert N. Zagone Film Director

Through prayer, praise, and a love that bonds families together, Carmella renews her trust in the Lord and discovers a way to turn her life around. In TEARS FALL AT NIGHT, the Marshalls discover that even when everything goes wrong, they can still lift their hands and praise God anyhow. Joy Comes in the Morning: Love was a four-letter word, and trust was an even worse five-letter word that Joy Marshall had no patience for. Young, beautiful and a successful attorney, Joy is any man’s dream, but since her life became a nightmare after her father divorced her mother, she wants nothing to do with the heartache that love can bring. Lance Bryant isn’t fooled by Joy’s cold hearted exterior. He knew she was the one for him at first sight, and would stop at nothing to help her find her way back to love. But even the charismatic Lance Bryant is no match for the pain that has been inflicted on her heart. Joy will need a spiritual intervention that only God can bring if she is ever to truly open her heart and mind to the possibility of love for a lifetime. The Marshall family discovers that although weeping may endure for a night, Joy Comes in the Morning, so you might as well go on and praise Him anyhow. A Forever Kind of Love: Handsome and successful in his own right, Dontae Marshall felt as if he had it all. Especially since he’d found the woman of his dreams and proposed marriage to her, with one stipulation — a stipulation that caused Jewel to hand the ring right back. Add to that the fact that his father is out of prison and he now has to face his feelings for the man who left him in his greatest hour of need. And if all of that wasn’t enough, his long-held secret is about to be revealed. Jewel Dawson knew that she would love Dontae Marshall forever the moment they met. She is willing to accept all the baggage that comes with the man she loves. All she wants is for Dontae to realize that what they have is a Forever Kind of Love. Dontae must learn to trust God and to get his praise back, before moving into his happy-ever-after with the woman of his dreams.

    Silence Is Not Always Golden: A Poetic Revolution is a collection of poetry that is defying the norm. The title was inspired by the Black Panther Party’s Huey Newton’s quote, "You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can’t jail the Revolution." Instead of writing what people want to hear, I wrote what people need to hear. The truth! Sometimes the truth can be beautiful and sometimes it can be ugly. My words and my voice are my weapons and I have to speak up on my beliefs. Other people may not feel as powerful to speak up so I speak up for them. I could not sit there and not say anything. I was taught that you cannot do what everyone else wants; you have to do what YOU want. To be YOU is as original as there can be and people will try to put you down because you are different. I say try because only YOU can let them. There is more to life than making a living and surviving. You must fulfill your purpose by pursuing your dreams because if you do not, life will pass you by. My words are my way of fulfilling my purpose because I am making my dream a reality and I am showing you that you can do the same.

    Information on Black scientists and inventors is becoming more readily available to the general public and this is a welcome development. However, information specifically on the scientific and technological contributions of the Ancient Egyptians is not as readily available as one might think. Great books and essays have been written on the topic but many authors have pitched their works above the level of the ordinary reader. Other papers are in difficult-to-find journals and collections. Some writers, in an attempt to bring greater prestige to twentieth century European and European American science, dismiss all ancient science as superstition and error. They emphasize what the Ancient Egyptians did not know as opposed to what they did know. In this book, Blacks and Science Volume One, I bring the information together in one place. I write positively about what the Ancient Egyptians achieved and do not waste ink on what they did not achieve. Finally I present the information in as straightforward and accessible a way as possible. Should you read this book and learn the information: * You will gain a greater mastery over Black or African History * Your knowledge will be the envy of your friends and family * Learning your historical contributions will skyrocket your confidence and esteem * Your interest in all areas of human culture will dramatically increase * You will have a vast reserve of information to pass on to your children This book is largely a synthesis of my previously published Kindle e-books Ancient Egyptian Contributions to Science and Technology combined with The Mysterious Sciences of the Great Pyramid. The feedback I received from these e-books was positive, but many people asked me if was possible to turn these lecture essays into physical books. After all, not everybody possesses a Kindle! My response was to produce this book Blacks and Science Volume One. Very shortly, other volumes in this series will be issued. The first part of this book is a general introduction to the role played by the Ancient Egyptians in the origin and evolution of Mathematics, Astronomy, Medicine & Surgery, Navigation & Cartography, Architecture, Construction and other areas that are more controversial. The second part of the book focuses on one monument—the Great Pyramid of Giza. In this section, I review the discussions and speculations of what the Ancient Egyptians probably knew about pi, phi, the Dimensions of the Earth, etcetera. Robin Walker

    Did YOU know that a camera invented by a Black astrophysicist was used during the Apollo 16 space mission to collect ultraviolet images photographed from the moon? In fact did you know any of the following facts? • An early eighteenth century Virginia slave developed effective treatments against skin and venereal disease. In fact: ‘His work was so outstanding that in 1729 the Virginia Legislature bought him from his owner, thus freeing him from slavery, to practice medicine exclusively’ • Astronomical works by a late eighteenth century Black mathematician and astronomer were widely read and ‘became a household staple in early America along with the Bible’ • A nineteenth century African American blacksmith patented an invention described as ‘the most important single invention in the whole history of whaling’ • A nineteenth century inventor of Black South American heritage created such a revolution in the shoe industry, that it was said of him: ‘What Edison is to artificial lighting, [he] is to footwear’ • By 1913, African Americans held around 1,000 patents for various inventions in household goods, industrial machinery, transportation, electricity and chemical compounds • A Black physicist extended the Quantum Theory in the 1920s • Henry Ford described a Black botanist in the 1930s as ‘the greatest living scientist’ • Another Black chemist invented synthetic cortisone, an effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis that broke the monopoly that European chemists had on the production of sterols • Twelve Black scientists and mathematicians worked on the Manhattan Project, i.e. the American nuclear bomb project, during World War II • A Black surgeon headed the blood bank system of the US and the UK during World War II • The research of a Black physicist and inventor of the 1960s may hold a key to addressing the main concerns of our times – dwindling sources of useable energy, rising energy costs, and increasing demand for energy For too many people, it may be the first time that they had ever encountered such information. This is unfortunate. I believe that African and African Diasporan science history is a subject that has had too little attention paid to it. Some important writers have ventured into the field; Professor Ivan Van Sertima and his team, Mr J. A. Rogers, Mr Samuel Kennedy Yeboah, Dr Louis Haber, and Mr Hunter Havelin Adams III. My work synthesises and updates their findings. I also present the data in an easy to digest, bite-size way. This book is a general introduction to the role played by the African Americans in the evolution of the Space Sciences, Invention, Mathematics & Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Botany & Zoology, and Medicine & Surgery.

    Week after week, Sunday after Sunday, churches are occupied by attendees looking and sounding like Christians. The goal of this book is to expound on the differences between bona fide Christians and the counterfeit Christians that populate many of our church buildings today. There are recognizable differences in mannerisms, speech, and mindsets, among other things. Knowledge about these differences, along with a fresh determination to work harder at pleasing God, is what I hope readers will take away with them. As a result, maybe church folks will become less successful at running people away from the church and more successful at bringing the unsaved into the fold.

Inwardly, he needs to be set free from the chaos of revelations that make him question if happiness is obtainable. His father, the upstanding OB/GYN socialite is currently serving prison time after admitting his guilt in an old crime. His older sister refuses to move past the betrayal and attempts to use Rainey as a crutch, but her bitterness is only keeping the family at odds as his twin sister, Cheney Reynolds Jamieson, tries to rebuild a damaged relationship caused by decisions she made in the past. To get away from the drama, Rainey is willing to leave the country under the guise of a mission trip with Dentist Without Borders. Will changing his surroundings really change him?

She’ll never forget the good friends she made while living there. She couldn’t count Rainey in that circle because she rejected his advances for good causes.

    Oliver’s well-researched biography of Mansa Musa reads like an exotic tale of gold, glory, and adventure. During his long reign as Mali’s emperor, Mansa Musa led his empire into its Golden Age; presided over a spectacular, 60,000 person, 9,000 mile pilgrimage; founded a university in Timbuktu; and helped revolutionize architecture across the Sudan. Oliver does not allow Musa’s story to get bogged down in detail by seamlessly weaving a lot of history into his narrative and by supplying curious readers with an extensive Glossary. Many of the African ancestors of today’s African-Americans came from West Africa. From 700 — 1600 A. D., one after the other, three great, black, commercial empires dominated West Africa. They were powerful, prosperous, complex, stable — and large. At its height, the Empire of Mali was the size of all of Western Europe. Well-crafted and fast paced, Oliver’s book is enhanced by a liberal sprinkling of enjoyable drawings, clear and helpful maps, and interesting photos. Not only are Mansa Musa’s triumphs and dilemmas clearly portrayed, but so are the lives of the people of medieval Mali.

    (c) 2012 Sumiko Saulson “Agrippa” is a dystopic near-future tale that takes place in an unnamed industrialized nation very much like the United States. When foreign creditors demand that the nation repay its considerable international debt or face war it enacts the Dulcetta Reforms, ultra-restrictive laws establishing debtor’s prison, and causing a large number of people – many of them seniors – to go to jail or even face execution if not continuously working to pay off their personal debts to the government. Dr. Tine, an expert in geriatric medicine, is desperately searching for employment at the beginning of our tale, having lost her useful functioning in society as the elders she once treated were rounded up and hauled off to the prison camps. Things were so bad she didn’t think they could possibly get any worse. How very wrong she was.

    Read Detailed Book Description


    In the year 2015 there’s this saying, ’when frogs grow feet.’ The meaning behind this phrase is similar to ’a snowball’s chance in hell’ and to that of ’when hell freezes over.’ In jail and with nothing better to do, Malcolm George was leaning toward naming his firs novel ’when frogs grow feet’ but so far hadn’t made a firm commitment to any title… ’When Frogs Grow Feet’ (or WFGF for short) is the next ’Great American Novel.’ Exposing the human condition—it paints a broad stroke of human frailty in the vein of such predecessors as ’Catcher in the Rye,’ by J.D. Salinger and the works of Henry Miller; in particular, some readers ’may see’ a resemblance to Miller’s ’Tropic of Capricorn’ as WFGF lays claim to a sexual appetite that might conjure up that controversial work. Celebrating sexual intercourse, from its kinky, outrageous manifestations to its profound impact on the human psyche, can be found harpooning its way throughout WFGF…In WFGF the morally contentious issue of abortion is promulgated through the existence of ’Un-aborted’ babies (or UABs for short). The character, Godiva Jones, is not a typical UAB instead she stands out as a ’problem child.’ She’s a girl that when we first meet her, is on probation for a string of petty thefts. As a child that ’was not supposed to be born’ the reader gets to know ’her purpose in life.’ We see Godiva as she comes to ’hate’ on her real name, which is Keisha. Other ’relationship’ issues share the limelight with the Un-aborted, notably ’the war between the sexes.’ Sexual relations between Malcolm the male protagonist, and Vanessa, who is a local entrepreneur and proprietor of several high-end boutique shops, has its ups and downs. Vanessa represents feminism in its ’triumphant stage’ as women in the year 2015 ’runs the show.’ Men feel marginalized, are resentful. Whereas Vanessa is naturally a feminist, Malcolm on the other hand is a ’masculinist’ and a member in good standing with the ’International Brotherhood of Steele Pandas.’ WFGF is told mostly from Malcolm’s point of view, but his opinion is often derided by his many women friends. While Malcolm and Vanessa battle back and forth over who will be the ’alpha’ in their relationship, the mostly accepted sentiment of the day is that women are no longer the underdog in society; men are…or at least think of themselves as underdogs. To fight ’the feeling’ organizations like the Brotherhood began to proliferate in order to defend ’men’s rights.’ The mega issue surrounding Mr. Miller’s ’…Capricorn’ was ’first amendment rights.’ ’The Biggie’ in ’Frogs…’ is abortion. The ’solution’ is the advent of ’Un-aborted babies.’ ’When Frogs Grow Feet’ is G. Louis Jackson’s second work of fiction. He is also author of ’Natives of Detroit,’ a collection of short fiction.

    This book is part of The Integrated Life™ series.

    THE CONCEPT: "In the pursuit of economic survival, bodily sustenance and social acceptance, people often (1) disregard their passion in order to focus on a practical career, (2) allow their diet to undermine their health, and (3) deny their sexual and gender wiring in order to conform to societal concepts of relationship. Therein lies the majority of unhappiness in our modern life." The solution is to live the integrated life! Take the Integrated Life™ online test at http://www.integratedlifetest.com and discover how integrated these areas of your life are! Then, read the book to learn what to do about it!

    ****

    THE DEFINITION:
    ducks in a row: Everything is ready, all preparations are complete. To have everything just the way you want it before you take the next step.
    usage example: "I definitely want to quit my job and pursue my passion, but I want to get all my ducks in a row before I hand in my resignation." THE FLAW:
    "I’ve never met a set of ducks who liked standing in a row for too long." Sure, we’ve all seen ducks in a row. The trouble is, watch them long enough and they eventually break formation. In other words, if you’re waiting for things to be perfect and stay perfect for before you act on your dreams in general, and if your success quitting your job and becoming an entrepreneur in particular is contingent on those ducks staying in line for the duration of your adventure in freedom, you might be in for a rude awakening. THE TRUTH:
    "It’s not about the freakin’ ducks!! It never was and never will be." If you make it about the ducks, then you’ve got to keep herding ducks every day of your life. On the other hand, if you practice taking action regardless of what formation the ducks are in, you’ll be better prepared for the realities of life and business! It’s about finding the courage to do something you need to do whether the ducks are arranged the way you want them to be or not! It’s your dirty little secreta convenient excuse. And I’m going to expose it. The truth is, there ARE no ducks!!! THE STORY:
    "I felt like a piece of my soul was dying each day I showed up to work." Many years ago, I walked away from my soul-draining, life-sapping, energy-depleting, freedom-robbing job as a civil engineer, to become a passionpreneur and nomadpreneur. In this second in the In Search of a Better Belief System series, I’ll take you through the step-by-step mental, emotional and physical process of what it took to make that decision, hand in my resignation, burn that bridge, and walk away from my "good job" with no safety net and not even a penny in savings! There was something in particular that gave me the courage to do it, and I’m going to share that with you in all its gory detail! Something will click for you.

    The Black Poverty Cycle and How to End It is about how three different facts of life for African-Americans are intertwined and mutually reinforcing: lack of educational opportunities, poverty, and mass incarceration. All three are rooted in the historic racial prejudices of White America. Together they immobilize the great majority of African-Americans at the bottom of the income and wealth scales: below, rather than within, the increasingly stratified class system in which other Americans live. Finally, The Black Poverty Cycle and How to End It is about how to use the very connections among these facts of life to change them and thus improve the lives of African-Americans and with them the lives of all Americans.

Prologue Words. They convey thoughts, meaning, emotion. Communication covers a wide array of expression, but words are one of its most powerful constituents. Words can be trapped inside the mind, or captured and birthed onto a sheet of paper. They can even appear in dreams. Words seem to be able to dwell within any climate; any existence. Words are not always heard or given the gift of sound, and despite their disguise they never cease being words. A word can be spoken, thought, felt and expressed through the smallest hints of body language…

    The beginning of the Caramelle trilogy. 150 years in the life of a family. Generational curses. Strongholds. History repeating itself. Will a young woman and her family in modern times be delivered from a downward spiral of sin and degradation? 20 year-old Stephanie Renee Bell, author of this trilogy, takes you on a gripping journey filled with vividly-detailed, intense, unforgettable characters painted in lush imagery, masterfully woven through the vast tapestry of time Prologue It was another warm, sunny day of 1851 in Birmingham, Alabama; a region well-known for its muggy, summer climate. The hospitable natives were more than accustomed to Alabama’s atmospheric conditions, and found the good points of that particular time of year in which to take pride. Vivid flowers graced the earth in full bloom, crops prospered, and the famous rolling hills of the Old South carried tall trees tinted with a rich forest green. Despite the at times unpleasant heat, the Southerners took advantage of summertime to hold grand parties and get-togethers in majestic mansions, where gentleman dressed in coats and tails while ladies sported fashionable hoop dresses and large, feathered hats of all sorts of colors and designs. Children would laugh and play tag outside as their fathers and mothers socialized in the shade with freshly-squeezed lemonade, and the youth would behave much as they do today—young men looking for a young lady to court, and the young ladies giddy at the thought of having their first beaux. This particular day, a luncheon was being held at the home of the prestigious and esteemed Taylor family, where games of croquet, dancing, music and of course, extra Southern hospitality by way of cooking inhabited the list of features… The saga continues in: "Caramelle: Metamorphosis" "Caramelle: Eternal Hope" She also penned "Second Wind", a young adult romance novel about a dancer She left an array of information about herself at www.myspace.com/nitelyte

    When you are far away from home—but live in southeastern Michigan, the population bedrock of the state—and if asked, "Where’re you from?" You’d say, "Detroit." In these five stories there is revealed a "Detroit" outsiders may not know about, or do know, but do not care to acknowledge, because what is exposed hits so close to home, wherever "home" might be…Natives of Detroit are people just like the rest of us, but, in here, between the pages of this work, the natives are restless and are given reign to exorcise their demons. Like the three neighborhood friends (Larry, Cliff and Kevin) in Moral Dilemma—they are forced to answer the question, "Is rape worse than death?" In Pride’s Bouquet, Mrs. Joy Hartley experiences, "firsthand…the odorous condition stubborn pride can bring about." She decides her husband, John, should wear a diaper, because, "there are no ’loincloths’ at any drugstore…or anywhere else for that matter!" And so it goes. In the story, Mountain out of a Molehill, Chris Stiegel takes the growth on his little finger and turns the "wart-thingy" into a mountain. And, whereas Theresa, in the story, Theresa and the Court, is of the opinion that the court leadership can "go to hell," and goes about doing her job in her own way, in order to survive the streets where her job, as a probation officer, ultimately takes place…yet she feels powerless against the cancer growing inside her body. And then there is Jacqui, in the story, Discovery. No longer a victim of bullying, she travels to Peru, in South America, and discovers a bully of her own design.

    “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven.” Matthew 5:16 “It’s all about Jesus.” In November of 2009, during a lucid interval in a hospital room, Stephanie Bell was urgently writing on her blanket with her right index finger. When given a pen and paper to decipher what she was writing, she repeatedly scrawled that sentence, superimposing it on one spot on the paper. That was one of the final sentences and the underlying message of her prolific writing career. Stephanie Bell accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at age 10 and went to Heaven at age 20. She was baptized during her teens. A multigifted, prolific novelist, poet, essayist, author of several installments of fan fiction, this accomplished musician, dancer and artist gives her testimony and proclaims the Gospel, telling her story of the trials and triumphs of adolescence and ultimately, a ravaging disease, in this collection of her essays, prose, poetry and blogs presented largely in chronological order. Stephanie proclaimed Jesus on this earth for as long as she was able, using every ounce of strength that she drew from the Lord. Her “High School Graduation Speech” inspired people across the state. “My 30th Birthday” is instructive; its poignancy, inescapable.

    Imagine sharing the spotlight with a ruthless blackmailer, whose only intention, is to take all of which you’ve worked hard to achieve – your wealth, your fame, and your church of seven thousand members. For Pastor Leroy Paxton of Mount Moriah Baptist Church, this is no imagination. Five years ago, he committed a toxic sin and almost lost his life trying to cover it up. He now comes face to face with his past, which haunts him from the pulpit to his bedroom. And the only way out of this nightmare is to make a decision that could cost him everything. Then imagine being mentored by one of the most revered men, Abraham Winder, whose stance on accountability and sexual purity is taught rigorously within the Mount Moriah mentoring program, only to discover your mentor is not what you expect. This is the reality for Dominic Housten, one of Abraham’s closet and trusted protégés, who accidentally stumbles upon a scene that left him frozen in disbelief. As Dominic struggles with betrayal, he confides in the pastor’s daughter – the only woman he’d secretly loved for years. The only problem with that is the pastor’s daughter is married to Phillip Benjamin, a deacon of the church and an extremely jealous man, who suspects Dominic’s intention runs deeper than just a casual friendship. The intertwined lives of these four men show that the righteous are not perfect, and at times, are tempted to forsake the ways of God. As each of these men battle to regain their focus, they will come to realize that the consequences of their sins are far greater than they’d anticipated – just one stupid mistake could produce a lifetime of hell!

    An uplifting "story" in poetry that reminds us to be comfortable with the decisions we make in enjoying life to the fullest. If a doctor gave you (and could really give you) 2 months to live, what would you do? Would you put together a list of people, places and things to see before your 60 days are up? Then have to do it all over again for another 60 days because you are the exception to the rule… or perhaps you’d not make it to the second day on your list…? A doctor cannot ’give’ you time. But, hey… one thing they’re right about is that one day each of us is not going to be here physically. Get over it!!! So why not start and restart celebrating your list now? You see, we often get caught up in the headlines of doom and miss the subtitles of success. This book’s subtitle is "A Celebration of Life." It’s not about dying… it’s about living. You’ll hit the ground running right after reading the last four lines of the title poem: I found out I’m dying And that I have been since Day #1 So I spend little time regretting my life Because I’d rather spend the time having fun. Sporty King is a Motivational Speaker who has used his gift of poetic expression to inspire audiences of all ages, ethnicities and genders for over a quarter of a century.

But irrefutable evidence mounts to show that the private sector has the capacity, opportunity and commitment to meet and exceed the professional standards of contemporary corrections. His review of the literature supports the fact that the private sector is uniquely equipped to operate efficiently, take rapid action, provide services, attract investment dollars, generate profits for investors, organize resources and conform to statutory requirements. Based on his study of the literature and hundreds of interviews, Mahone maintains that privatized prisons should engender a better quality of life for the inmate and the public.

And unless they can find each other, they will have to face it all alone, in the dark.

To make matters even more complex, her father has deeded the house and the land to her in his will with an interesting condition: that she share the land with a person she’s never met, or forfeit ownership.

The attraction between them is instant, and they both agree that marriage is the only acceptable way they can share the land. But can two people from such different worlds learn to love each other, or will Lilly’s heart be broken if she dares to kiss the captain?

    The amazing thing is that Dangote built his business empire from the scratch, starting out as a small scale trader to eventually build an emergent global conglomerate, becoming, in the process, one of the world’s richest men. Just how was he able to do this? That is the interesting question which Peter Anosike tries to answer in this book creatively entitled Dangote’s 10 Commandments on Money. A motivational book designed to build the entrepreneurial spirit in the youths, Dangote’s 10 Commandments on Money is a fitting tribute to one of the most remarkable businessmen of this generation. The book analyses the strategies which Dangote has used to achieve what some other persons might have considered unimaginable. It rightly casts him in the mould of a benevolent mentor by situating the story in the context of Dangote taking a bright youngster from an underprivileged background under his wings, teaching him how to succeed in business and supervising his business activities to ensure success. He divides the principles into 10 and explains each of them thoroughly so that the youngster would understand them very well and then be able to put them into practice. Dangote’s aim in doing this is to help produce more of his kind so as to fast-track Nigeria’s development. Talk about a tribute to a quintessential patriot.

    A WORK OF RECLAMATION AND RESTITUTION IN TWELVE BOOKS Vol. I and 2. It may have been a million years ago The Light was kindled in the Old Dark Land With which the illumined Scrolls are all aglow, That Egypt gave us her mummified hand: This was the secret of that subtle smile Inscrutable upon the Sphinx’s face, Now told from sea to sea, from isle to isle; The revelation of the Old Dark Race; Theirs was the wisdom of the Bee and Bird, Ant, Tortoise, Beaver, working human-wise; The ancient darkness spoke with Egypt’s Word; Hers was the primal message of the skies: The Heavens are telling nightly of her glory, And for all time Earth echoes her great story. I have written other books, but this I look upon as the exceptional labour which has made my life worth living. Comparatively speaking, ’A Book of the Beginnings’ (London, 1881) was written in the dark, ’The Natural Genesis’ (London, 1883) was written in the twilight, whereas ’Ancient Egypt’ has been written in the light of day. The earlier books were met in England with the truly orthodox conspiracy of silence. Nevertheless, four thousand volumes have got into circulation somewhere or other up and down the reading world, where they are slowly working in their unacknowledged way. Probably the present book will be appraised at home in proportion as it comes back piecemeal from abroad, from Germany, or France, or maybe from the country of the Rising Sun. To all lovers of the truth the writer now commends the verifiable truths that wait for recognition in these pages. Truth is all-potent with its silent power If only whispered, never heard aloud, But working secretly, almost unseen, Save in some excommunicated book; ’Tis as the lightning with its errand done Before you hear the thunder. For myself, it is enough to know that in despite of many hindrances from straitened circumstances, chronic ailments, and the deepening shadows of encroaching age, my book is printed, and the subject-matter that I cared for most is now entrusted safely to the keeping of John Gutenberg, on this my nine-and-seventieth birthday.

    A deadlocked presidential election that triggers a constitutional crisis. A grass-roots movement to limit government mirrored by a campaign for voting rights in the nation’s capital. Domestic terror attacks that lead to military crackdown-all chronicled by an emerging independent journalism. Epistrophy examines these headline-news issues through three characters-a disillusioned reporter, a troubled community activist and a young teacher-whose lives have been shaped by a powerful political secret and joined by tragedy. In a turbulent time that feels like today, these three form a bond of recovery, resistance and renewal. Epistrophy also serves as a distant sequel to the 1960s classic The Man Who Cried I Am. That novel, by the author’s father, John A. Williams, introduced the "King Alfred Plan" and chillingly predicted a generation of official lies and cover-ups.

    Since the release of his first novel, Clarence Nero has become a superstar of the literary world. His words pulse with the energy of life on the street, and his stories brim with conflict and emotion. Now we’re proud to reintroduce his first urban classic, which explores a young man’s experience living in and eventually freeing himself from one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America. At one time, Desire in New Orleans was the pride of public housing, and generations of teenage Cheekie’s family had lived there happily and safely. But by the 1970s, the project has seriously deteriorated into violence, drugs and poverty. Despite its downfalls, Desire remained a neighborhood fueled by the people, and their vibrant energy and love of fun transcending their oppressive surroundings. But it’s still no place for a young boy, and all Cheekie wants is to get out. Described through his young voice, the neglect and the nurturing, the violence and the inspiration of Desire come alive as Cheekie grows into manhood, finally escapes and forges ahead on an inspiring journey toward personal and professional success. We think you’ll love Clarence Nero’s critically acclaimed first novel.

    In a time of religious upheaval and civil war in a country where men of different faiths can never be brothers, three slaves must keep a date with destiny. Death, destruction and the persecution of an entire nation at the hands of the Roman army set the stage for "The Idumean Covenant: A Novel of the Fall of Jerusalem." Abraham’s twin grandsons, Jacob and Esau, were bitter enemies. Jacob’s descendants, the Judeans become God’s chosen people and Esau’s descendants, the Idumeans, become the people that God hated and despised.God’s prophets tell the Judeans, Isaiah and Ezehiel, to rob and even kill Idumeans. Inexplicably, however, Titus Flavius Josephus relates in his Jewish Wars that the insurrectionists against Rome called upon the Idumeans for support in order to prevent the Judean sect of Sadducees from turning Jerusalem over to the Romans. Can it be that the revered historian had a secret agenda? The Idumean Covenant is a locomotive taking the intelligent reader on a historical adventure of cynical plots, unconventional alliances and impossible loves pitting the most powerful men of the Roman Empire against each other.

    Damian was the son of a Christian minister. As a child he was raised according the dictates of the Christian faith, and instilled with the ideals that would make him a true follower of Jesus. He lived his life in a humble manner in which he helped people, and avoided excess. But after his righteous father was targeted by a corrupt White politician because he was unapologetically committed to helping less-fortunate Black people, a change would soon occur within Damian.

    Instead of adhering to the tenets by which he had been raised, Damian became a slave to the decadent ways of American society. Even though the United States of America was considered to be a Christian nation by misinformed people, it was a bastion of sin in which sex, greed, and power were lusted after. Those desires became the Gods of many Americans. And it was to those Gods that they worshipped.

    As Damian underwent a metamorphosis, his religion and his family became less important to him. His betrayal of those formerly important aspects of his life led to the weakening of his psyche. In that state, he lost track of who he was as a person, and who he should be as a Black man, father, husband, and minister. But when he realized the depravity of his ways, people who had been harmed by his behavior would seek retribution.

    Although the God of Christianity was said to be forgiving of the hypocrites who followed it, the righteous people who were aware of the realities of life would not be as accommodating of Damian’s behavior.

This book tells all from men’s point of view, it makes no apologies and most of all it suggests fundamental changes that women must make on an individual and collective level to begin to unravel the brainwashing that has so far crippled them mentally and emotionally. The subject is in itself controversial as it pits gender against gender and it challenges women to look at themselves honestly and understand how men view them, then make realistic choices about the social gender issues that separate them from what they yearn for. This book gives women permission to break with protocol and step outside of the box in order to succeed at finding a worthwhile life mate.

    From Kwame Alexander, the 2015 Newbery Medalist, a collection of poetry for young people. STARRED REVIEW: Gr 8 Up: Alexander offers a cosmopolitan menu of tanka, haiku, long titles that lead into short first lines, verbal formulas that lead to sung discoveries, French phrases, prose poems, and poems written in Spanglish. The book is divided into three sections with various speakers, and a fourth section that includes poems by Sherman Alexie, Pablo Neruda, Nikki Giovanni, and the title poem, "Crush," by Naomi Shihab Nye. A poem in the first section, "What Makes Me Feel Good," begins with one word, "isn’t/the way you style your hair or/how all the other girls stare/it’s not even the way you kneel/in church, unafraid of prayer." Many of the poems lend themselves to pairing with the classics. In "He Says He Loves Me," the speaker responds to her paramour’s advances (think Marvel’s finessing in "To His Coy Mistress"). When he tells her he has "protection," she asks "does he have enough of it/To guard my heart/To give shelter to my soul/in case of emergency." This well-crafted anthology will capture the interest of teens and possibly encourage them to submit their own "crush" poems to an appended Web site for a contest.

    The Blackworld is a stunning interwoven account of all the world’s major black communities from creation to 2006, and presents a new empowering perspective and total paradigm change that will lead Black people into an era of unparallel cultural and economic ascendancy. Assailing present academic and religious thought, it logically traces humanity from the true Garden of Eden - the Negro Delta. It examines past and present issues like the real ancient Egyptians, Black poverty, AIDS, African local wars/African-American gangster wars, the dodgy White Wars on paganism, slavery, Communism, Diseases, Drugs and now Terrorism, which all end up affecting the Blackworld disproportionately. This book enlightens and highlights all black folk from African-Americans known as Akata by the Yorubas/Ibos of the former Slave Coast (now southern Nigeria - the Nigger area), to the Southernmost Ngunis and Afro-Brazilians as well as the islander Afro-Caribbean and Black British. Created in Europe; Educated in Africa; Agitated in the Americas - Prince Justice is a Yoruba, London-born Social Scientist, who, while living in the New York Tristate Area, was compelled to write this book and other soon-to-be released books.

    Coming Soon!


    As food for thought and entertainment, how would your life had been different if you had grown up, learned and gained the knowledge, logic and intellect of Doctors, Lawyers and Ph. D’s. while you were growing up? What different life choices and decisions would you have pursued and made that would have delivered you from a life of average poverty, unfulfillment, and social rejection to greater prosperity, success and social acceptance?

    I ask this because essentially, our society functions at a certain high-leveled knowledge and logic, and when someone hasn’t fortified or developed that intellectual foundation at that level of function and ability, what’s missing causes a measurable gap of ignorance, dysfunction and disposition between them and those that have been developed to that level of function and ability. If you aren’t fortified at that level, those who are well-developed at that high level of function in society are basically able to hear the ignorance in your speech when you talk, write, or outwardly use your reasoning skills to make choices from moment-to-moment daily.

    So stop standing by and watching those who know that knowledge and logic better than you do outdo you on life’s stage. Know that you can do better. Realistically, it’s never too late to take the necessary steps to give yourself a leg up, a boost and a brand new start in life. We all experience countless waves of new opportunities, and with those  new opportunities come waves of new choices, chances, and options.

    Surrogate Re-Parenting I, helped to fortify your basic foundation on a fundamental level and now Surrogate Re-Parenting II A.K.A. Get Your Mind Right II will take you much higher and much deeper on your empowering journey toward greater intellectual growth, development and success.
