Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Unmasking the Experience: A Black Woman's Journey Through Higher Education, Institutional Challenges, and the Choices That Lead to Self is a powerful, deeply reflective exploration of what it means to navigate systems that were never fully designed to support the voices, identities, and humanity of Black women.In this compelling narrative, Dr. Alicia C. Perry pulls back the curtain on the emotional, mental, and professional realities many Black women quietly endure while pursuing success within higher education and institutional spaces. Through personal reflection, lived experiences, and honest storytelling, she examines the hidden weight of constantly having to prove oneself, navigate microaggressions, manage perception, and survive environments that often benefit from Black women's labor while failing to fully acknowledge their value.Although rooted in higher education, the experiences explored throughout this book extend far beyond college campuses and academic institutions. The themes within Unmasking the Experience intersect across virtually every genre of employment and professional space-from corporate leadership and nonprofit work to healthcare, government, entrepreneurship, social services, education, and beyond. At its core, this book speaks to the lived realities of individuals who have ever felt overlooked, emotionally burdened, underestimated, or forced to navigate systems that demanded excellence while withholding support.More than a story about institutional barriers, this book is a journey toward clarity, healing, and self-reclamation. Dr. Perry explores the impact of burnout, identity shifting, emotional exhaustion, leadership pressures, and the silent sacrifices Black women are often expected to carry in professional environments. She also confronts difficult truths surrounding survival, support, internalized oppression, and the emotional toll of existing in spaces where being exceptional is treated as a requirement rather than a recognition.Yet, Unmasking the Experience is not rooted in hopelessness. It is rooted in truth, resilience, healing, and transformation. With vulnerability and strength, Dr. Perry invites readers into a process of unmasking-the moment when survival gives way to self-awareness, and when choosing yourself becomes an act of liberation rather than guilt.Written with Black women at the center, but resonant for anyone who has ever struggled to maintain their identity within systems that challenged their humanity, this book challenges readers to rethink how institutions operate, how healing happens, and what it truly means to reclaim your voice, your worth, and yourself.This is not simply a book about higher education.It is a book about identity, survival, leadership, healing, power, and the courage to exist fully-without shrinking, without apology, and without losing yourself in the process.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Shattered Diamond Facilitator ManualThe story was meant to be read. The journey was meant to be discussed.Shattered Diamond: Facilitator Manual is a trauma-informed companion to Shattered Diamond, created to help facilitators, book clubs, women's groups, community organizations, educators, and healing circles move beyond the pages and into meaningful conversation.Following Asha's journey from childhood into womanhood, this guide explores the experiences that shape her understanding of love, loss, family, identity, relationships, motherhood, survival, self-worth, leadership, and healing. Each chapter creates space not only to examine what happens to Asha, but to consider the deeper question: What does her story awaken in us?Designed for thoughtful and emotionally responsive facilitation, the manual includes chapter recaps, facilitator preparation, thematic guidance, trauma-informed considerations, discussion prompts, deeper reflection questions, opening readings, closing exercises, and guidance for knowing when to slow down and simply hold space.Music is also woven throughout the experience. Because the chapters of Shattered Diamond are connected to songs, facilitators are encouraged to use music as another doorway into the story-helping participants enter the emotional landscape of each chapter before the conversation begins.Throughout the guide, special attention is given to the experiences of Black girls and women, including grief, adultification, forced independence, relationships, motherhood, workplace experiences, finding one's voice, reclaiming power, and the complicated expectations surrounding strength. At the same time, the conversations are intentionally designed to welcome participants across identities and lived experiences.This is not therapy, and facilitators are not expected to have all the answers.They are invited to create the space where answers can emerge.Whether used in a book club, women's circle, community program, classroom, retreat, or facilitated discussion group, the Shattered Diamond Facilitator Manual invites readers to sit with Asha's story-and perhaps recognize pieces of their own.Because sometimes healing does not mean putting the diamond back together exactly as it was.Sometimes it means realizing that every piece still belongs to you.Read the story.Enter the conversation.Honor the pieces.Reclaim the diamond.This manual is intended to accompany Shattered Diamond and does not replace the original book.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 2020, the world as we knew it shut down. Not only did businesses close, but marriages ended as well. Husbands realized that there were things that they disliked about their wives. Wives realized that there were things that they just did not see in their husbands. Either way, the pandemic opened the eyes of spouses and/or partners to say, "maybe we should call it quits. We should not have been together in the first place. If this is you, STOP, and read this book alone or preferably with your partner. You just might find that there is HOPE for what seems like a dreadful and dying situation. In this book, you will find Tips for surviving marriage through the storm. The journey isn't always easy but, if you trust God along the way, you will smooth sail into the marriage you desire to have.

Instead of pondering on the question, here is the word of God: Hebrews 12:2 says, "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and perfecter of faith." Now is the time to amend, reconcile, and keep our marriages together as one, unified as God has ordained us to see fit. This item is printed on demand.
