Living While Black

Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807054607
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
A Guardian “Best Book of 2021” Selection A powerful look at the impacts of anti-Black racism and a practical guide for overcoming racial trauma through radical self-care as a form of resistance Over the past 15 years, radical psychologist Guilaine Kinouani has focused her research, writing, and workshops on how racism affects both physical and mental health. Living While Black gives voice to the diverse, global experiences of Black people, using personal stories, powerful case studies, and eye-opening research to offer expert guidance on how to set boundaries and process micro-aggressions; protect children from racism; handle difficult race-based conversations; navigate the complexities of Black love; and identify and celebrate the wins. Based on her findings, Kinouani has devised tried-and-tested strategies to help protect Black people from the harmful effects of verbal, physical, and structural racism. She empowers Black readers to adopt self-care mechanisms to improve their day-to-day wellness to help them thrive, not just survive, and to find hope and beauty—or even joy—in the face of racial adversity. She also provides a vital resource for allies seeking to better understand the impacts of racism and how they can help. With the rise of far-right ideologies and the increase of racist hate crimes, Living While Black is both timely and instrumental in moving conversations from defining racism for non-Black majorities to focusing on healing and nurturing the mental health of those facing prejudice, discrimination, and the lasting effects of the violence of white supremacy.

Finally, Flora Hyde-Clare has wrest the narrative from Beatrice by finding her own compelling murder mystery to solve. Well, it's not entirely her own because the victim is her cousin's former beau, Mr. Theodore Davies, whose father cruelly separated the young lovers (though not so cruelly, for it left the door open for Bea to woo the Duke of Kesgrave). Bea insists, of course, that the law clerk's death was merely an accident. If only he had not been in the path of that wretched carriage! Oh, but Flora knows that evasive look on her cousin's face. Bea is hiding something. Clearly, Davies had gotten himself entangled in some nefarious business, and Flora is determined to discover the truth despite the danger it puts her in. Or is that because it puts her in danger? After all, any heroine worth her salt must be willing to take on a great deal of personal risk. And Flora has her mind set on being a heroine of the highest order.

Now installed as the Duchess of Kesgrave in elegant splendor in Berkeley Square, she is confounded by the stately residence's seemingly endless array of rooms and every time one of the maids addresses her as "your grace," she flinches. And the butler! Oh, yes, that imposing servant holds her in utter contempt and has no qualms about sharing his opinion with the rest of the staff. It's all so wretched. But just as Bea begins to despair-a bright spot. A neighboring house has suffered a ghastly tragedy, and although the constable deems it an inadvertent decapitation, she can't believe anyone could be so careless as to accidentally lose his head. Determined to discover the truth, the new duchess pays her first social call. Because even if she can't find her way around her palatial home, she certainly knows her way around a murder.

Book Description
(This couple met and started their battling in Book #3 FTW and continued into #4 GFY This part of the series picks up a month after the original series/club finished in the Masters MC #4 G.F.Y.. This is how they finally fell in love.)DISCLAIMER: This book contains strong and unfiltered language, uncensored adult situations, M/M, and violenceSUNDOWN BLACKFOOTWhen my old man sent me away from the reservation where I was born, the Malevolent MC became my tribe. They didn't care that my mom was a Blackfoot Indian and my dad was Italian. I was accepted because my old man was in the club. It was all that mattered. I was no longer Half-Breed-I was 100% Malevolent. I rose through the ranks of the Montana and Nevada chapters without an issue. There was never a fight or woman I couldn't win if I wanted. It made me arrogant AF. When you're used to having any girl you want, you become a vain a$$hole just because you can. I've never felt a need to hide it. When everything you've ever wanted has come easy and all the women have been sleazy-it's what you do. They fall at my feet, and I'm never afraid to kick them out of my bed when I'm done. They remind me of the show ponies and breeder horses my grandfather had-nice enough but no challenge. I always liked the wild horses. I had to work to get them to trust me enough to ride them. It took time. They mattered.Mama Stitch is the wild horse.For once I actually have to try to get what I want, and she isn't easy.That's why I need her and will have her. First, I have to cut things off with Kash and that'll be easier said than done. He's my closest brother, the first sergeant at arms, and our out-alpha each other thing is like a drug.Then, I have to find a way to get that crazy sweet-butt Shovelhead to leave me alone. That's been like getting rid of a stripper's glitter-nearly impossible.MAMA STITCHI was raised in Upstate New York by my father. He taught me to stand up for myself, that I could do anything I put my mind to, and not to bow down to anyone. He was a cobbler and I learned to sew on the boots and leather vests of guys in motorcycle clubs. It made sense that I'd grow up dreaming of being with one of them-until I was. When the last of those relationships went tragically south, so did I-to Florida.In Ocala, I learned to ride my own bike. I vowed to never have to count on a man for my happiness in the wind. I also met Colt and Kash from The Masters MC. I became the friend of a club that was based on women bowing at their men's feet-real deal BDSM-but they accepted me regardless. I accepted them.The ol' ladies became my sisters and I became their resident seamstress-they gave me the road name Mama Stitch. Everyone around Marion County knows about the girl who rides her own bike and who carries guns in her sexy outfits. I'm single and happy about it. I didn't want a guy in a club, and I'm not about to give up my bike.Then, The Masters patched over to the Malevolent and with that came Sundown Blackfoot. Somehow he missed the memo about me. The cocky, new sergeant at arms won't leave me alone no matter how much I fight him and we fight hard! I do as my father taught me-stand my ground, don't bow to anyone, and do any and everything I put my mind to.That was all working for me-until, I tried to put my mind to keeping him away. I hate him. I love the battle-but I'm losing. All I know to do is keep fighting for all I'm worth because I won't get hurt again.Then there's Saint. I don't even know where to start with him.Two men want me, and I don't want to be penned in by anyone. Not the blond BDSM master, and especially not that pretty tattoo artist with the long black hair and dimpled smile.
