WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. There are some friends you never forget. It's the summer of 1955. For Ethan Harper, a biracial kid raised mostly by his white father, race has always been a distant conversation. When he's sent to spend the summer with his aunt and uncle in small-town Alabama, his blackness is suddenly front and center, and no one is shy about making it known he's not welcome there. Enter Juniper Jones. The town's resident oddball and free spirit, she's everything the townspeople aren't-open, kind, and accepting. Armed with two bikes and an unlimited supply of root beer floats, Ethan and Juniper set out to find their place in a town that's bent on rejecting them. As Ethan is confronted for the first time by what it means to be black in America, Juniper tries to help him see the beauty in even the ugliest reality, and that even the darkest days can give rise to an invincible summer . . .

*SHORT STORY* Her curiosity overcame her, and she looked at papers on his desk. She glanced at a newspaper with the headline, "Demons, No Longer Among Us." 'He must minor in Demon History' she thought. She slid the newspaper to the side to see more news articles about the demon race underneath. She squinted at the next article that was dated "1964". A picture that looked like Seth was in the article. "Strange," she thought. She pulled the article to read a little more when she heard his deep voice. "What are you doing?" he asked. Nami jumped and released the article. Seth stood at the entrance to his study leaning on the door frame with his arms folded across his chest. He stared at Nami.

The question "Are Black women feminine?" has been relevant to social scientists and in conversations about Black women in politics and academia for at least a century. Recently, society has gone from praising Black women for preserving democracy in 2020 to degrading them whenever they "overstep" and express opinions contrary to mainstream beliefs. Black women walk on eggshells constantly for the approval of their employers, benefactors, and society at large. This book series aims to fill a gap in this discussion by comparing the life trajectories of two Black women: one who is arguably one of the most famous figures in Black history, and one who should be but isn't known by as wide an audience. The goal is to achieve a deeper understanding of the Black experience. This book does this by investigating how perceptions of Black women are shaped by the definition, visibility, and variety of Black role models promoted inDr women-led social movements. By the end of this book, you'll hopefully have a clearer understanding of how you've been socialized to prefer one brand of Black revolutionary and feminist thought over the other.

In an alternate history where a young white man named Daniel Mitchell intervenes at the Lorraine Motel on April 4, 1968, and stops James Earl Ray from assassinating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the trajectory of the Civil Rights Movement is irrevocably altered. Daniel, once an observer of history, is thrust into the center of the struggle for equality, working alongside Dr. King and other key figures to maintain the vision of nonviolent resistance in a country growing increasingly divided. As tensions rise and the movement faces new challenges, Daniel must navigate his own internal conflicts and the mounting pressure to take more drastic actions. The Heart of the Storm explores the intersection of personal choice, moral conviction, and the evolution of history, as one man's intervention changes the course of a nation's future forever.

A poem about the issue of groups or classes of people allowing the discrimination of them to keep them from rising to their full potential. An observation from experience in workplaces and such of how minorities or any other class of people or group, often out of fear and not wanting to attract abusive attention...will shrink back on their shine, talent, voice, and abilities...in order to stay small...as to not draw hate from the "ruling class". It sheds light on how the individuals in these protected classes often do rise high in business, entertainment, media, medicine, law, academia, sports, and the like...is from their ability to block the lies and the denial of the ruling class that is put in images and words to affect our confidence and self-worth...those individuals never believe it, rise above it, and focus on the talents, abilities, and gifts they know they have within...and, therefore, their balloon rises to the heights they desire and beyond...for it is all about energy. If you keep the energy within on the level and in alignment with who God made you...rather than believing the lies meant to stop you from being the best you can...then whatever they think can't touch you because in this world we operate with vibrational currency...not social constructs...though they try to make us think we do...if you can produce an amazing feeling, product, service, or idea...you can rise financially...above all the bullshit...no matter who you are; no matter what industry you're in.
