"Sin Sackey is driven by the same hardwired need as every eldest first-generation daughter—to make her family proud. And she built her career and chose her partners with that single goal as her north star.
Everyone said she had it all. And for more than twenty years, Sin let herself believe they were right. Until a near-death experience makes the truth impossible to deny. Her relationship is on life support. Her journalism career is in freefall. And the city she thought she'd conquer has chewed her up and spit her out.
With everything to prove—and everything to lose—Sin moves back home to Washington, DC. But on the eve of the first day of the rest of her new life, the saying about old habits proves painfully accurate.
A new lead falls into her lap, and Sin dives back into the story that nearly cost her everything. Then, when a man who is all the things she's sworn to avoid invites her to dinner, she says yes. But this story could resurrect her career—and take down an entire black-market empire. She's closer than ever to catching its elusive leader, and she can't let go now.
And this man could be the one. So, she lowers her walls just enough for him to climb over.
But just when it seems her gamble might pay off, her lead starts to feel more like a trap. And the man she's let herself love appears to be the one who set it.

"American political history has a rhythm and a progression. Part of that progression is White populist anger and resentment. The Forgotten Man and White Populist Resentment: Power, Politics, and Narrative Dominance in the Trump Era traces how this White populism rose to dominate the Republican Party primary base, how the populist campaigns of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich paved the way for the rise of Donald Trump, and how he maintains narrative dominance over both parties and American political discourse.
In the 1850s, populist resentment was directed to the national government because it told the South that slavery was evil and would not be allowed to spread into the west. Both before and after suffering defeat, the poor White Southern male was told that he was equal with the elites of the Southern slave aristocracy because both are White and superior to all Blacks. This resentment found a new iteration when the government ended a century of Jim Crow. In 1969, Newsweek depicted the 'Forgotten American' in this new America and the resentment of the imposed change in the cultural society. The loss of 'their' America was attributed to the federal government being controlled by social and financial elites. This book presents a clear narrative around the development of white populism and its resentment that shapes the narratives and rhetoric of the Trump era."

"Starting over is more than a song lyric . . .
The last thing rising fashion designer Dayton Royal anticipated when she moved to Necessity, Texas, was managing one of her cousin's taco trucks. But after being skewered on social media for ruining her first famous client's wedding gown and then her estranged mother reaches out to reconcile, Day retreats, drowning in tortillas, salsa, and humiliation. Romance isn't on her plate, until the handsome business owner she's been casually flirting with makes a move.
Single dad Grant Thomas has been smitten since the stunner, Day, walked into his store. Though burned by love, Grant still seizes the opportunity to ask Day out–right before his ex-wife arrives demanding he take their angry teen for the summer, perhaps longer. Unsure if he can balance work, fatherhood and romance, Grant's determined to try.
Inspired by her new relationship, Day becomes a mentor to Grant's daughter and dives back into her dream career as well as indulges her creativity and love of tacos. But can she embrace her new life and family, as well as forgive her mother and past mistakes?

"Centering Black culture and community for liberating, anti-racist therapeutic practice.
This innovative book lays out the journey of family therapist Makungu Akinyela in developing testimony therapy—a healing practice rooted in Black cultural traditions of testifying and storytelling. This book argues that traditional Eurocentric approaches to therapy often perpetuate colonial oppression in the lives of Black clients, and that decolonizing mental health requires centering African American cultural knowledge, history, and community.
Drawing from thinkers from the Black radical critical tradition like Frantz Fanon and W. E. B. Du Bois, Dr. Akinyela frames testimony therapy as a narrative practice grounded in Ubuntu (the African communal self) and the oral traditions of African diasporic peoples. Testimony Therapy maps out theory, practices, and supervision approaches that help therapists support clients in resisting internalized racism, reclaiming self-definition, and nurturing liberated Black identities. Ultimately, this work is a call for Black therapists and clients to engage therapy as cultural resistance—a pathway to repair our souls and build collective freedom beyond Eurocentric limitations."
"The breakout star of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding shares his views on being unabashedly Christian for the twenty-first century.
An expansion of his wildly popular sermon for the 77th General Convention of the Episcopal Church in 2012, Rt. Rev. Michael B. Curry gives inspiration and guidance on being bold Christians for a modern audience. Known for his positivity, fiery and magnetic speaking style, and Gospel-based knowledge, Bishop Curry is the go-to spiritual leader for today's public life. He was the officiant for the funeral of President George H. W. Bush and Senator John McCain. The words of his sermon, which went viral, will energize followers of the Gospel or listeners looking for bolder spiritual life.
'We need some Christians who are as crazy as the Lord. Crazy enough to love like Jesus, to give like Jesus, to forgive like Jesus, to do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with God—like Jesus. Crazy enough to dare to change the world from the nightmare it often is into something close to the dream that God dreams for it. And for those who would follow him, those who would be his disciples, those who would live as and be the people of the Way? It might come as a shock, but they are called to craziness.' —from Crazy Christians"

"Christianity Today Book Award―Biblical Studies
In a first-of-its-kind volume, The New Testament in Color offers biblical commentary that is multiethnic, diverse, contextual, informative, reflective, prophetic, and inspiring.
Historically, Bible commentaries have focused on the particular concerns of a limited segment of the church, all too often missing fresh questions and perspectives that are fruitful for biblical interpretation. Listening to scholars from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities offers us an opportunity to explore the Bible from a wider angle, a better vantage point.
The New Testament in Color is a one-volume commentary on the New Testament written by a multiethnic team of scholars holding orthodox Christian beliefs. Each scholar brings exegetical expertise coupled with a unique interpretive lens to illuminate the ways social location and biblical interpretation work together. Theologically orthodox and multiethnically contextual, The New Testament in Color fills a gap in biblical understanding for both the academy and the church. Who we are and where God placed us―it's all useful for better understanding his Word."

"Black artisans have long been central to American art and design, creating innovative and highly desired work against immense odds. Atlanta-based chairmaker and scholar Robell Awake explores the stories behind ten cornerstones of Black craft, including:
● The celebrated wooden chairs of Richard Poynor, an enslaved craftsman who began a dynasty of Tennessee chairmakers.
● The elegant wrought-iron gates of Philip Simmons, seen to this day throughout Charleston, South Carolina, whose work features motifs from the Low Country.
● The inventive assemblage art and yard shows of Joe Minter, James Hampton, Bessie Harvey, and others, who draw on African spiritual traditions to create large-scale improvisational art installations.
From the enslaved potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, to Ann Lowe, the couture dressmaker who made Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress, to Gullah Geechee sweetgrass basket makers, to the celebrated quilters of Gee's Bend, A Short History of Black Craft in Ten Objects illuminates the work of generations of Black craftspeople, foregrounding their enduring contributions to American craft."
"Black Revolutionaries is an accessible yet rigorously argued history of the Black Panther Party (BPP), one of the emblematic organizations of the 1960s. Joe Street highlights the complexity of the BPP's history through three key themes: the BPP's intellectual history, its political and social activism, and the persecution its members endured. Together, these themes confirm the BPP's importance in understanding Black America's response to white oppression in the 1960s and 1970s.
Based on a wealth of archival material, Black Revolutionaries reveals the enduring importance of leftist political philosophy to 1960s and 1970s radicalism, and how the BPP helps us to understand more deeply the role of public space and public protest in the 1960s. Street shows how the BPP were key to the transformation of political activism in the post-civil rights era. As the BPP faced the psychological and organizational impacts of FBI surveillance, police repression, and imprisonment, Street examines how these negative forces helped to shape and destroy the BPP.
Most significantly, Black Revolutionaries demonstrates that an understanding of African American grassroots politics and protest, racial injustice, and police brutality in the post-civil rights era is only comprehensible through engagement with the BPP's history."
