From the host of podcast Stuck with Damon Young, cofounder of VerySmartBrothas.com, and one of the most read writers on race and culture at work today, a provocative and humorous memoir-in-essays that explores the ever-shifting definitions of what it means to be Black (and male) in America
For Damon Young, existing while Black is an extreme sport. The act of possessing black skin while searching for space to breathe in Americais enough to induce a ceaseless state of angst where questions such as "How should I react here, as a professional black person?" and "Will this white person's potato salad kill me?" are forever relevant.
What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker chronicles Young's efforts to survive while battling and making sense of the various neuroses his country has given him.
It's a condition that's sometimes stretched to absurd limits: creating the farce where, as a teen, he wished for a white person to call him a racial slur just so he could fight him and have a great story about it; provoking the angst that made him question if "being straight" was something he could practice and get better at, like a crossover dribble; and generating the surreal experience of watching his Pittsburgh neighborhood getrify from predominantly Black to "Portlandia . . . but with Pierogies."
And, at its most devastating, it provides him reason to believe that his mother would be alive today if she were white.
From one of our most respected cultural observers, What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker is a hilarious and honest debut that is both a celebration of the idiosyncrasies and distinctions of Blackness and a critique of white supremacy and how we define masculinity.

Описание: An ancient battle of the sexes has raged for centuries, but a strange calm has befallen the age-old conflict as of late. How were the witches subdued, and what will happen when they remember how to wield their true power? The war went on for centuries--on one side, a coven of perpetually reincarnating witches, dedicated to cultivating their otherworldly abilities and guarding their independence; on the other, an all-male conspiracy of witch hunters known as the Architects, determined to put an end to the power of their nigh-immortal adversaries for good. Neither could land a decisive blow and the result was stalemate. Until 2005, when everything changed. Now, coven leader Isadora is a happy wife with a happy life in a cozy, quiet cul-de-sac in the town of Desert Canyon. She has no recollection of her many past lives; no memory of her membership in an ancient order of necromancers; no reminders of the endless war it waged; and no idea of the power that she and the other housewives of Desert Canyon possess. But you can't keep a good witch down--and these ladies are the best. Once they find out the truth about their white-picket prison, the men that they thought they knew are going to have hell to pay. Writer Ben Blacker and artist Mirka Andolfo weave a spellbinding story of sex, sorcery, and supernatural liberation with Hex Wives, collecting all six issues of the acclaimed DC Vertigo miniseries.

Описание: This is a critical examination of the ways that aging and old age are represented and given meaning in popular film. Arguing that the narratives, discourses, and philosophical positions that underlie filmic depictions of growing older are historical and open to revision, the author evaluates how a given film both portrays aging or older characters and tells the larger story of aging itself.

Описание:
"A writer of exceptional gifts and grace." --Joyce Carol Oates
Darnell Tucker has more to think about than the average twenty-year-old. A resident of impoverished Rio Seco, California, he works part time as the lone black member of the fire department, and will soon be a father. Though he loves his job, cutbacks to the state budget force him to search for new work, and the low-paying positions he finds rival firefighting in their peril. On two of the jobs, he's mistaken for a criminal by the police; coming home from another, he's shot at by a gang. His path blocked by economics, institutionalized racism, and the dangers of the place where he lives, how can he provide for his daughter, who has changed his life?
Blacker Than a Thousand Midnights is a stark and thoroughly convincing portrait of life on the margins.

In Building Today for a Healthy Tomorrow my goal is to introduce my readers to the reasons many of us are not enjoying the health and vitality we desire to have. Our foods have changed over the past few decades. These changes have incorporated a wide range of chemicals into our foods & environment. Our "fresh" foods may not have the nutrients we expect. These untold numbers of chemicals are everywhere - our food, water, soil and air. We are surrounded by our electronic devices that emit frequencies that can be harmful and change the atmosphere in which we live. There is little we can do about what is in the air around us, but there is a tremendous amount that we can do to take charge of how we care for our body and feed it with the nutrients God provided. Join me in Building Today for a Healthy Tomorrow.

Colossians tell us everything we need to know about living a Christ centered life. It beautifully covers the 4 areas that encompass our life and how our Lord helps us to live according to His Design. Colossians 1: Your Deeper Life in Christ, where you are rooted - planted securely in Him. Your life lived under the surface - away from the eyes of others. It is you and Christ. Colossians 2: Your union to Heavenly Father is your Higher Life in Christ. He sees you and knows you as no one else can. Not a thought escapes His notice. Your entire being is stripped bare before Him. He is your Audience of One. Colossians 3: Your inner life, known only to God through Christ and the Indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit Colossians 4: Your outward life, lived before others. God's design for your life as a single adult or in marriage. Your love, maturity, priorities and understanding are seen by others in how you conduct your outward life. May you be forever blessed and live in the protective
