You Are Protected: Invoking Spiritual Support to Sustain Your Energy
$20.00A powerful collection of spiritual practices and tools to support readers in standing strong amidst whatever the world throws at them, from beloved teacher Michelle Cassandra Johnson.
Revered educator and activist Michelle Cassandra Johnson knows firsthand that we can’t pour out of an empty cup―that we can’t show up fully in our lives, care for others, or hold space for change if we’re not strong within. In You Are Protected, she shares the resources and guidance that are available to protect us at any time. She writes, “We have an entire team of guides, allies, ancestors (both blood and otherwise), deities, archetypes, elemental energies, plant spirits, and many more supports to help protect us and our energy.” This heartfelt book helps us recognize and connect with that support.
Throughout the book, Johnson offers a range of potent protection practices and tools―from somatic practices to natural curios. She helps readers determine which resources feel aligned to them to build an effective daily spiritual hygiene practice. She also offers guidance for various situations, including computer work or what to do before, during, and after leading or participating in a meeting or group.
Drawing from ancestral wisdom, various spiritual lineages, and nature-based traditions, Michelle urges us to consider how we can pour into ourselves as much as we pour into others and the world, inviting us to engage in a wealth of practices to sustain our spirit, souls’ work, and highest good.

You Can't Please Everyone: Reclaim Your Power in a World Obsessed with Approval
$19.99THE POWERFUL FOLLOW-UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER GOOD VIBES, GOOD LIFE
The more you chase approval, the further you get from yourself. The path back begins when you stop performing.
Do you say yes when every part of you wants to say no? Do you overthink every message, keep the peace, carry other people’s feelings and worry you’re still not doing enough? Does life feel like a constant audition, where your worth depends on being who others want you to be?
Vex King has helped millions of people worldwide on their paths of growth and self-reflection. Here he shows how seeking approval leads you to abandon your centre – the place of self-trust, authenticity and inner peace.
People-pleasing can look like love, kindness or responsibility, but it often begins where self-love has been forgotten. At its heart is the fear that who you truly are might not be worthy of love, acceptance and belonging. This isn’t about caring less. It’s about loving yourself deeply enough to stop abandoning yourself, protect your peace and return to your centre.
Blending lived experience, spiritual insight and practical tools, Vex reveals how to rebuild self-trust, build healthier relationships and make choices that align with your values. You’ll learn how to:
* Recognize the people-pleasing patterns running your life
* Use the Five-Second Pause before an automatic yes
* Choose alignment over approval and follow your own path
* Set boundaries without shutting people out
* Navigate family, friendships and relationships with more honesty
* Handle guilt, overthinking, criticism and rejectionYou can’t please everyone. But you can finally be yourself, and peace begins when you stop abandoning yourself for everyone else.
‘Some people will like you more when you’re agreeable, endlessly available and easier to manipulate, but you’re not here to please everyone. You’re here to rise, awaken and live as your whole self – not the edited version that keeps others at ease.’Vex King

You Get What You Pay For: Essays
by Morgan Parker
$28.00*Ships/ready for pick up in 5-8 business days*
The award-winning author of Magical Negro traces the difficulty and beauty of existing as a Black woman through American history, from the foundational trauma of the slave trade all the way up to Serena Williams and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina Dubbed a voice of her generation, poet and writer Morgan Parker has spent much of her adulthood in therapy, trying to square the resonance of her writing with the alienation she feels in nearly every aspect of life, from her lifelong singleness to a battle with depression. She traces this loneliness to an inability to feel truly safe with others and a historic hyperawareness stemming from the effects of slavery. In a collection of essays as intimate as being in the room with Parker and her therapist, Parker examines America’s cultural history and relationship to Black Americans through the ages. She touches on such topics as the ubiquity of beauty standards that exclude Black women, the implications of Bill Cosby’s fall from grace in a culture predicated on acceptance through respectability, and the pitfalls of visibility as seen through the mischaracterizations of Serena Williams as alternately iconic and too ambitious. With piercing wit and incisive observations, You Get What You Pay For is ultimately a portal into a deeper examination of racial consciousness and its effects on mental well-being in America today. Weaving unflinching criticism with intimate anecdotes, this devastating memoir-in-essays paints a portrait of one Black woman’s psyche—and of the writer’s search to both tell the truth and deconstruct it.

Demons clash with inheritance claims as secrets unfold and violence is unleashed over twelve harrowing hours trapped in a house with the worst thing imaginable: family.
When Papi Ramon, the patriarch of the wealthy Abreu family dies, he gives the family one last message in the will: “One of you is el bacà, the demon that I made a deal with. Get rid of them or you will be damned.” Xiomara, the uncontested favorite of Papi Ramon (and therefore the least liked in the family), watches as everyone dismisses this as the joke of a senile old man and demands the lawyer obtain the previous will Papi wrote.
While the lawyer drives back to his office, a storm breaks out, forcing the entire family—Xiomara’s aunts and uncles and cousins—to remain in the house. And the words of Papi’s will hangs over their heads even heavier than the rain clouds. Over the course of the night, scandal after scandal is revealed to the public about the family. Suddenly a tense few hours of surviving her family turns into a vicious night of recrimination, violence, accusations…and murder.
Xiomara is faced with an impossible task: uproot a demon and somehow kill it or excise the ghosts that linger within her own family.

The acclaimed authors of the “emotional literary roller coaster” (The Washington Post) and Good Morning America book club pick We Are Not Like Them return with this moving and provocative novel about a Black woman who finds an abandoned white baby, sending her on a collision course with her past, her family, and a birth mother who doesn’t want to be found.
Cinnamon Haynes has fought hard for a life she never thought was possible—a good man by her side, a steady job as a career counselor at a local community college, and a cozy house in a quaint little beach town. It may not look like much, but it’s more than she ever dreamed of or what her difficult childhood promised. Her life’s mantra is to be good, quiet, grateful. Until something shifts and Cinnamon is suddenly haunted by a terrifying question: “Is this all there is?”
Daisy Dunlap has had her own share of problems in her nineteen years on earth—she also has her own big dreams for a life that’s barely begun. Her hopes for her future are threatened when she gets unexpectedly pregnant. Desperate, broke, and alone, she hides this development from everyone close to her and then makes a drastic decision with devastating consequences.
Daisy isn’t the only one with something to hide. When Cinnamon finds an abandoned baby in a park and takes the blonde-haired, blue-eyed newborn into her home, the ripple effects of this decision risk exposing the truth about Cinnamon’s own past, which she’s gone to great pains to portray as idyllic to everyone…even herself.
As Cinnamon struggles to contain old demons, navigate the fault lines that erupt in her marriage, and deal with the shocking judgments from friends and strangers alike about why a woman like her has a baby like this, her one goal is to do right by the child she grows more attached to with each passing day. It’s the exact same conviction that drives Daisy as she tries to outrun her heartache and reckon with her choices.
These two women, unlikely friends and kindred spirits must face down their secrets and trauma and unite for the sake of the baby they both love in their own unique way when Daisy’s grandparents, who would rather die than see one of their own raised by a Black woman, threaten to take custody.
Once again, these authors bring their “empathetic, riveting, and authentic” (Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author) storytelling to an unforgettable novel that revolves around provocative and timely questions about race, class, and motherhood. Is being a mother a right, an obligation, or a privilege? Who gets to be a mother? And to whom? And what are we willing to sacrifice for the sake of marriage, friendship, and our dreams? - You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey: Crazy Stories about Racism

- Young Gifted & Black: A New Generation of Artists
Young Gifted & Black: A New Generation of Artists
edited by Antwaun Sargent
$55.00What’s new, now and next from contemporary Black artists
This book surveys the work of a new generation of Black artists, and also features the voices of a diverse group of curators who are on the cutting edge of contemporary art. As mission-driven collectors, Bernard I. Lumpkin and Carmine D. Boccuzzi have championed emerging artists of African descent through museum loans and institutional support. But there has never been an opportunity to consider their acclaimed collection as a whole until now.
Edited by writer Antwaun Sargent (author of The New Black Vanguard: Photography Between Art and Fashion), Young, Gifted and Black draws from this collection to shed new light on works by contemporary artists of African descent. At a moment when debates about the politics of visibility within the art world have taken on renewed urgency, and establishment voices such as the New York Times are declaring that “it has become undeniable that African American artists are making much of the best American art today,” Young, Gifted and Black takes stock of how these new voices are impacting the way we think about identity, politics and art history itself.
Young, Gifted and Black contextualizes artworks with contributions from artists, curators and other experts. It features a wide-ranging interview with Bernard Lumpkin and Thelma Golden, director and chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem; and an in-depth essay by Antwaun Sargent situating Lumpkin in a long lineage of Black art patrons. A landmark publication, this book illustrates what it means (in the words of Nina Simone) to be young, gifted and Black in contemporary art.
Artists include: Mark Bradford, David Hammons, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Julie Mehretu, Adam Pendleton, Pope.L, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Henry Taylor, Mickalene Thomas, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Sadie Barnette, Kevin Beasley, Jordan Casteel, Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Bethany Collins, Noah Davis, Cy Gavin, Allison Janae Hamilton, Tomashi Jackson, Samuel Levi Jones, Deana Lawson, Norman Lewis, Eric N.

Young King: The Making of Martin Luther King Jr.
$34.00From a preeminent King scholar, the origin story of the man, minister, and civil rights hero who would lead the nation and change the world.
We know who Martin Luther King, Jr. became, but who was he at the beginning of his life? How did his youth inform his outlook and activism?
Before Martin Luther King, Jr. was a civil rights leader, a Nobel Laureate, and a global hero, he was an emotional boy, a middling high school student devoted to fashion, dancing, and dating. Lerone A. Martin, Faculty Director of the Martin Luther King Institute at Stanford University, traces these roots to develop a fuller understanding of the influential preacher’s emotional life, his youthful confusion about his future and career direction, his teenage missteps, and his inspiration to fight for justice.
Revelatory, humanizing, and compassionate, Young King unearths:
* MLK's Childhood on Auburn Avenue: his days as “Little Mike"—the ever-eager middle child and a precocious prankster—spent at Ebenezer Baptist Church and the Auburn Avenue Library in Atlanta
* Early Encounters with Racism: his early experiences of segregation and the summers he spent on a Connecticut tobacco farm, his first trip outside the Jim Crow South
* College Life at Morehouse: his transformative time at Morehouse, playing basketball, hosting parties, studying sociology, and joining the Ministers’ Union
* Path to Seminary and Activism: his winding path to seminary and the co-development of his activist consciousness, his spiritual devotion, and his relationship with Coretta, his wife-to-beAs America undergoes another era of turmoil and change, this powerful biography provides a vital roadmap for how greatness comes to light. This essential work is a testament to how history shapes a leader.
Young King includes rarely seen black-and-white photographs of an adolescent MLK from his high school days and college years.
