In these pages, you will find the old knowings that I discovered. You will meet a girl who felt the urge to honor her own old knowings before she could even name them, or trust them to lead her to inner happiness.

My prayer is that you use her story to reflect on your own. Both she and I will talk to you throughout these pages, in efforts to tug you away from temporary, outwardly focused inspiration, and over to your own old wisdom.

If you are just starting out on the path to self-expression, this book will reflect aspects of your own story. Use that reflection to create a strategy for ownership and expression of your voice.

Whether in your home, in your vocation, or simply in your mirror, you are entitled to the full knowledge and expression of your uniqueness. This book will remind you of that.

All the rappers in Koontown are being killed, and rumor has it that it’s vampire crack babies doing the killing. Desperate, the police reach out to Genevieve "Jon Vee" Noire, ex-super model/ex-homicide detective/private eye. Together with her former partner, Genevieve must navigate the dangerous world of gangsta rappers, shady record executives, corrupt cops and politicians, ’80s pimps, welfare queens, secret sistah societies, Ubernoggin, and the National Guard. Can the ex-super model survive the chaos and insanity to save her beloved Koontown while it explodes all around her? In what has been called "the Invisible Man of the Hip-Hop Generation," Campbell conducts a gleeful evisceration of the social tropes, stereotypes, and conspiracy theories running rampant in today’s popular culture. Koontown Killing Kaper is one of the most outrageous, most hilarious, most controversial satires of our time that will make you question the very notion of "keeping it real."

The Execumama: A sistah between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five with established and clearly defined career goals. She’s focused, disciplined, and skilled, and she’s making a name for herself in her industry. How she manages to handle that AND raise a child or two at the same time is a feat worth exploring.

Addressing the unique challenges of the young working mother, Execumama serves as an empowerment guide to playing that game and playing it well.

Conventional wisdom would have execumamas believe that they have to strike a perfect balance between work and life. Akilah S. Richards explodes that myth, telling us that we shouldn’t beat ourselves up when we encounter the inevitable imbalances that come with the life/work path. There will always be variables beyond our control, she says. The trick is to cope with the chaos while taking comfort in the things that are still within our control.

With candor and wit, Richards encourages the execumama in each of us to embrace the road we’ve chosen and to walk it with confidence.
