Book Description
You can never leave footprints that last if you are always walking on tiptoe. Brie overcame the horrors of hell; she’d undergone the darkest times. It made her hard. She now strides with the fearlessness of the wolf. She lives with the bravery of the lion. And acts with the fierceness of the dragon. Now, can she prove to Rock that she’s capable of loving him, being the woman that she is? In a choice between love and fear, choose love. That’s what Rock aims to do, but everything he wants is on the other side of fear. He doesn’t know meeting with a client about drugs would be with his love Brie. Everything he knows about her seems to be illusory. Knowing Brie has been running her uncle’s empire for years, Rock is left with battling with his heart. Would his fear with being with a woman like Brie decide his future? Lynn and Ace’s love is moving along, even with Caren trying her hardest to break up their love affair. With what Lynn learned about Caren, she’s not so sure she wants to go to Ace with the news. When Ace starts to act distant, she investigates on her own only to find out that he’s been spending time with Caren. With a battered heart, she still asks herself one question, why am I so afraid to lose you, when you’re no longer mine? While the men try to get their women problems under control, a war has started when the east-side gang finds out that Rock and Ace killed their brother. Will the two be able to conquer love with the women they considered to be their first ladies with the war going on, or will they lose at conquering both? Find out in this finale, A Thug’s First Lady 2: Make the Dope Boys Go Crazy.

Book Description
Your prince charming will come one day. He may not ride a white horse or live in a big castle, but he will love you and only you. That was life for 29-year-old Monae, until one year into her relationship with her boyfriend Isaiah when she deals with verbal and physical abuse. As a victim of domestic violence, Monae lives in a constant state of alertness and anticipation, waiting for the next attack to occur. Every time she thinks she’s had enough, she would get charmed right back under his spell. That is until she starts cleaning for Coop, an infamous dope boy who sees all the signs of abuse she so desperately tries to hide. Coop tries his best to save Monae, but the question he has to ask himself is, does she really want to be saved? Coop Fields, a true dope boy at heart, grew up in South Bronx and built his empire from the ground up. He’s labeled a drug lord, and although he has a legal business, it doesn’t change the label behind his name. Being an important person, he doesn’t have time to clean his spacious home, so he hires Monae who is recommended by a good friend of his to clean for him. The more Monae comes around, the more Coop becomes attracted to her, and even though they hardly ever hold a conversation, he thinks she is someone worth building with. When he learns of her relationship status, that doesn’t detour his mind, it just makes him want her even more. When he starts to notice more about her, he knows he has to save her, but that’s easier said than done. Isaiah will do whatever to keep Monae under him, even if it means killing the people around her. Will Coop be able to set her free before it’s too late? Or will he lose his life trying to save hers?

Secrets of the Sprakkar
Author: Eliza Reid
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982174048
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The Canadian first lady of Iceland pens a book about why this tiny nation is leading the charge in gender equality, in the vein of The Moment of Lift. Iceland is the best place on earth to be a woman—but why? For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that enables its society to make such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world’s first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? The answer is found in the country’s sprakkar, an ancient Icelandic word meaning extraordinary or outstanding women. Eliza Reid—Canadian born and raised, and now first lady of Iceland—examines her adopted homeland’s attitude toward women: the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Throughout, she interviews dozens of sprakkar to tell their inspirational stories, and expertly weaves in her own experiences as an immigrant from small-town Canada. The result is an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as equal than we may understand. What makes many women’s experiences there so positive? And what can we learn about fairness to benefit our society? Like influential and progressive first ladies Eleanor Roosevelt, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Michelle Obama, Reid uses her platform to bring the best of her nation to the world. Secrets of the Sprakkar is a powerful and atmospheric portrait of a tiny country that could lead the way forward for us all.

Her luck takes a turn for the better when she meets a handsome stranger who's looking for a fresh start. Everything starts to go her way when she gets a strange request from her best friend, Alex, asking her to date Ahab Miller.

Black Radio/Black Resistance
Author: Micaela di Leonardo
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190870206
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Every weekday, the wildly popular Tom Joyner Morning Show reaches more than eight million radio listeners. The show offers broadly progressive political talk, adult-oriented soul music, humor, advice, and celebrity gossip for largely older, largely working-class black audience. But it's not just an old-school show: it's an activist political forum and a key site reflecting on popular aesthetics. It focuses on issues affecting African Americans today, from the denigration of hard-working single mothers, to employment discrimination and sexual abuse, to the racism and violence endemic to the U.S. criminal justice system, to international tragedies. In Black Radio/Black Resistance, author Micaela di Leonardo dives deep into the Tom Joyner Morning Show's 25 year history inside larger U.S. broadcast history. From its rise in the Clinton era and its responses to key events--9/11, Hurricane Katrina, President Obama's elections and presidency, police murders of unarmed black Americans and the rise of Black Lives Matter, and Donald Trump's ascendancy-it has broadcast the varied, defiant, and darkly comic voices of its anchors, guests, and audience members. di Leonardo also investigates the new synergistic set of cross-medium ties and political connections that have affected print, broadcast, and online reporting and commentary in antiracist directions. This new multiracial progressive public sphere has extraordinary potential for shaping America's future. Thus Black Radio/Black Resistance does far more than simply shed light on a major counterpublic institution unjustly ignored for reasons of color, class, generation, and medium. It demonstrates an alternative understanding of the shifting black public sphere in the digital age. Like the show itself, Black Radio/Black Resistance is politically progressive, music-drenched, and blisteringly funny.
