  • The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid

    Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman

    $29.00

    Why is it so expensive to be a woman in America? From a rising star in economics comes the first comprehensive look at the costs women face and why the bill runs especially high for women of color—with a foreword by Chelsea Clinton.

    The “pink tax” has gained widespread recognition in recent years, but what happens when you look at the costs that define a woman’s entire life, especially across racial lines?

    In The Double Tax, Harvard researcher Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman summarizes the disparities that women face as they navigate life’s biggest moments. Not only do the numbers reveal that women incur higher costs than men, but also that Black and white women lead vastly different lives, marked by dramatic gaps in job opportunities, salaries, housing costs, childcare access, and generational wealth. She coins this gap as the “double tax,” the compounded cost of racism and sexism.

    Through rigorous research and interviews with women across the country, Opoku-Agyeman calculates the extra money, time, and effort that women are expected and forced to pay at every stage of their life.

    While the evidence may be discouraging, The Double Tax offers actionable solutions for how everyday people, local communities, and global leaders alike can help relieve women of these costs for good. Only by understanding where the gaps are and where the double tax arises can we begin to even the playing field for all.

  • THE TOMONOSHi WAY: A Philosophy for a More Playful Life

    Mr. Tomonoshi!

    Sold out

    The TOMONOSHi Way: A Philosophy for a More Playful Life.

    The TOMONOSHi Way is a path for the seekers, the wonderers, and the adventurers—those who have never felt fully at home within the expected, and instead carve their own way forward.

    This philosophy invites those who color outside the lines, not in rebellion, but in the belief that life can be shaped into something more joyful, more curious, and more expansive.

    It is for the doers, the makers, the ones who see light even in the darkest corners—the individuals who weave beauty into existence, who find wonder in simplicity, who bring laughter to moments when only silence was expected.

    The TOMONOSHi Way is about embracing curiosity, exploring without hesitation, and daring to unearth meaning where others may not search.

    It is for those who create with their own hands—not waiting for the world to offer them what they seek, but choosing to build it themselves.

    This philosophy does not dictate what to think, but offers a more playful, expansive way to engage with life.

    It is not a rigid structure, but a perspective—one that sees possibility where others see limitation, one that welcomes adventure, one that embraces betterment not as an achievement, but as a way of moving through the world.

    If you’ve ever wondered about yourself—your place, your purpose, your journey—then The TOMONOSHi Way is already yours.

    This is the Way.

  • Badass Bonita: Break the Silence, Become a Revolution, Unearth Your Inner Guerrera

    Kim Guerra

    $29.00

    From the creator of Brown Badass Bonita comes a “powerful and necessary guide toward self-discovery and metamorphosis” (Dr. Mariel Buqué) that can help transform not only your life but the lives of everyone in your community.
     
    Almost every Latina has heard the phrase calladita te ves más bonita—you look most beautiful when you are silent. It's a message rooted in machismo passed from generation to generation, and one that poet and Latine therapist, Kim Guerra, grew up on.

    In Badass Bonita, Guerra tells a story of coming into her own power, and guides readers through the process of finding their own. Rejecting what she was taught as a girl, she learned to use her voice and the more she listened to that inner niña, the more she unearthed her inner guerrera. Vowing never to be calladita again, she now teaches Latine women to find their voices, healing the stories and emotional wounds that have kept them silent.
     
    Tackling tough conversations around machismo, mental health, trauma, and intersectional identities, Badass Bonita is a guide that will help readers:
    * Understand underlying sources of wounds and trauma,
    * Shift from self‑silencing and into revolutionary self‑love,
    * Build confidence and bring positive change to relationships, family and community.

    Lyrical and accessible, written in Kim’s signature poetic, Spanglish style, Badass Bonita is perfect for readers of My Grandmother's Hands and Este dolor no es mío, — for mothers, daughters, therapists, and mujeres poderosas everywhere ready find their wings.

  • Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make--and Keep--Friends

    Marisa G. Franco, PhD

    $28.00
    Is understanding the science of attachment the key to building lasting friendships and finding “your people” in an ever-more-fragmented world?

    How do we make and keep friends in an era of distraction, burnout, and chaos, especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? In Platonic, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest, often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us—for example, why your friends aren’t texting you back (it’s not because they hate you!), and the myth of “friendships happening organically” (making friends, like cultivating any relationship, requires effort!). As Dr. Franco explains, to make and keep friends you must understand your attachment style—secure, anxious, or avoidant: it is the key to unlocking what’s working (and what’s failing) in your friendships.

    Making new friends, and deepening longstanding relationships, is possible at any age—in fact, it’s essential. The good news: there are specific, research-based ways to improve the number and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment theory and the latest scientific research on friendship. Platonic provides a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong, lasting connections with others—and for becoming our happiest, most fulfilled selves in the process.

  • Hood Wellness : Tales of Communal Care from People Who Drowned on Dry Land

    by Tamela J. Gordon

    Sold out

    What does self-care look like when struggling to make ends meet, living with a disability, or navigating intersectional marginalization? How can you prioritize well-being while divesting from systems built to destroy you? The answer: Hood Wellness, a groundbreaking exploration that challenges the oppressive systems deeply rooted in health and wellness industries in the United States.

    In a world where self-care is critical to survival, Gordon offers a revolutionary perspective that celebrates individuals' unique privileges, challenges, and desires. By defying the norms of multi-billion-dollar industries, Hood Wellness illuminates the possibilities that emerge when we prioritize well-being while divesting from harmful structures.

    Hood Wellness is also a deep exploration of people forced to overcome harrowing circumstances with little more than communal support and the will to get well.

    From terminal illness and police violence to embracing gender identity in a society that's attacking trans and queer rights, each story reflects America's extreme political, racial, and gender climates. Gordon challenges everything we think we know about wellness by calling out the wellness industry's inability to include those outside the margins of white, heteronormative identities. She lays plain that self-care as we know it is mostly just surface-level "cute," and communal care is the call-to-action that America needs.

    Drawing on elements of memoir, self-help, humor, critical race theory, and devastatingly honest storytelling, Gordon guides readers on a transformative journey toward a new paradigm of wellness.

    This compelling book serves as a beacon, empowering individuals to cultivate resilience and self-love in today's world. As Gordon shares her personal odyssey, she intertwines the stories of others, revealing her profound discoveries, triumphs, and passions related to self-care.

    Hood Wellness introduces readers to an inclusive and accessible self-care primer and an approach to well-being that holds the potential to bring about profound change in their lives.

  • Whole Medicine : A Guide to Ethics and Harm-Reduction for Psychedelic Therapy and Plant Medicine Communities

    by Rebecca Martinez with Juliette Mohr

    $19.95

    The first book to provide a comprehensive framework for ethical psychedelic medicine—for therapists, trip sitters, and anyone concerned about upholding boundaries and safety in the entheogen and plant medicine community

    Psychedelic advisor Rebecca Martinez lays out the groundwork for an ethical approach to 21st-century psychedelic therapy. Applying a social-justice lens to entheogenic practice, Martinez provides practical guidance for psychedelic sitters, advocates, explorers, and those practicing (or learning to practice) licensed psychedelic therapy.

    As psychedelics become a more accessible pathway to healing, how do practitioners—and seekers—navigate complex issues in a wide range of settings? Here, you’ll learn skills like:

    • Understanding consent and boundaries
    • Building safe and ethical psychedelic experiences
    • How to integrate the cultural and historical contexts of plant medicines
    • Considering the psychological risks and benefits of psychedelic therapy
    • How to apply a social-justice lens to entheogenic healing

    Martinez also discusses how, in many corners of the psychedelic community, an overemphasis on positivity can overwhelm attempts to challenge abuses of power; dismantle internalized hierarchies; and acknowledge and integrate our own flaws and traumas.
  • Radical Inclusion: Seven Steps to Help You Create a More Just Workplace, Home, and World

    by David Moinina Sengeh

    $26.99

    *ships in 7 - 10 business days*

    An inspiring young leader’s moving call to action for anyone who seeks to make the world a better place—and the first title from Melinda French Gates’s Moment of Lift Books.

    As the newly appointed minister of education in Sierra Leone, David Moinina Sengeh assumed that the administration he served—not to mention his family and friends—shared his conviction that all girls belong in the classroom. He was shocked to learn that many of those closest to him, including a member of his own family, were against lifting a long-standing policy banning pregnant girls from school.

    Radical Inclusion is the dramatic narrative of Sengeh’s drive to guarantee pregnant girls’ right to an education. His story functions as a parable that can help us all advocate for change by reimagining the systems that perpetuate exclusion.

    The specifics of his efforts in Sierra Leone are captivating, and the lessons Sengeh shares are universal. In addition to the candid account of his quest for reform, he offers stories and perspective from other parts of his life, drawing on his experiences encountering racial profiling as a Harvard student, developing cutting-edge prosthetic limbs at MIT, and working to combat algorithmic bias as a data scientist.

    Sengeh offers readers a road map for pursuing radical inclusion in their own lives and work—from identifying exclusions, to building coalitions and adapting to a new normal. His book is essential reading for modern leaders or anyone who hopes to help unleash the power of a world that is truly, radically inclusive.

  • Monsters in Love: Why Your Partner Sometimes Drives You Crazy—and What You Can Do About It (New edition)

    by Resmaa Menakem

    $18.95

    A gritty, down-to-earth guide for real-life couples 

    Conflict is a natural part of any intimate relationship. Yet most couples either avoid it or try to smooth over their differences. This often results in at least one partner compromising their integrity—and stunting their own growth.

    Monsters in Love challenges the idea that conflict between partners is unhealthy or something to avoid. Instead, it encourages both people to stand by what they need and who they are—but to do so with compassion rather than competitiveness or vengefulness. 

    This book is about the reality of committed, intimate relationships, which are designed to inspire both people to grow up. It challenges some common misperceptions about what makes for a successful partnership. It also rocks the boat of psychotherapy, calling out therapists who don't bring their best to their clients. 

    Instead of comforting fantasies or false promises, Monsters in Love offers you and your partner a chance to make your relationship—and your lives—much bigger and more emergent.

  • Santeria: the Religion: Faith, Rites, Magic (World Religion and Magic)
    $21.99

    Brought to Cuba as slaves, the Yoruba people of West Africa preserved their religion's heritage by disguising their gods as Catholic saints and worshipping them in secret. The resulting religion is known as Santeria, a blend of primitive magic and Catholicism now practiced by an estimated five million Americans.

    Santeria: The Religion is an informative and insightful examination of an African religion's survival in the New World. No one could write this book better than Migene Gonzalez-Wippler. Combining her informed study as an anthropologist and personal experience as a Santerian initiate results in a thrilling book that reveals some of Santeria's most spellbinding elements:

    * The orishas: the deities of Santeria. Who they are. What they represent. How they may be contacted.
    * The santeros: the priests of Santeria. What they are like. What they do. Initiations into the priesthood.
    * The diloggun: shells used in divination. How they are used. Methods to consult the gods with the shells.
    * Ewe: the magic of Santeria. Includes herbal potions prepared as medicinal cures.

  • Hoodoo Medicine: Gullah Herbal Remedies
    Sold out

    Hoodoo Medicine is a unique record of nearly lost African-American folk culture. It documents herbal medicines used for centuries, from the 1600s until recent decades, by the slaves and later their freed descendants, in the South Carolina Sea Islands. The Sea Island people, also called the Gullah, were unusually isolated from other slave groups by the creeks and marshes of the Low Country. They maintained strong African influences on their speech, social customs, and beliefs, long after other American blacks had lost this connection. Likewise, their folk medicine mixed medicines that originated in Africa with cures learned from the American Indians and European settlers. Hoodoo Medicine is a window into Gullah traditions, which in recent years have been threatened by the migration of families, the invasion of the Sea Islands by suburban developers, and the gradual death of the elder generation. More than that, it captures folk practices that lasted longer in the Sea Islands than elsewhere, but were once widespread throughout African-American communities of the South.

  • Less Is Liberation: Finding Freedom from a Life of Overwhelm
    $28.00

    From lifestyle trailblazer and author of The Afrominimalist's Guide To Living with Less, a practical guide to move beyond decluttering your space and, instead, declutter your life.

    Less Is Liberation welcomes those who are tired and weary to embark upon a journey of self-discovery. This is an invitation to understand the interconnectedness of overwhelm and our overall wellbeing.

         For years, the constant pursuit of success silently wreaked havoc on Christine Platt’s happiness and health. While taking a personal pause, Christine discovered how her limiting beliefs about selfishness led to self-abandonment and a life of overwhelm. So, she decided to use the same intentional living strategy that helped her reduce overconsumption: choose less.

         With the perfect balance of wit and wisdom, Christine shares the necessities to come into alignment with Self and offers a roadmap for anyone ready to do the same. Less Is Liberation is more than a self-help guide, it is a call-to-action to tap into our most underutilized superpower: being intentional with our choices.

    * We do not have to have so many things—we can choose less.
    * We do not have to have so many obligations—we can choose less.
    * We do not have to have so many priorities—we can choose less.
    * We do not have to have so many relationships that feel transactional—we can choose less.

     We must simply learn how to be intentional about honoring ourselves.

     Less Is Liberation is an invitation to pause and begin the beautiful work of choosing ourselves over the profit and pleasure of others. It invites us to let go of behaviors that hinder our growth. It is time to embrace less as a gateway to find freedom from our lives of overwhelm, and a pathway to the life we want and deserve. Because we are not here for a life of doing. We are here for a life of being.

  • PRE-ORDER: All About Love: The Deluxe Collector's Edition: New Visions (Love Song to the Nation, 1)

    bell hooks

    $30.00

    PRE-ORDER: ON SALE DATE: October 14, 2025

    Now available in a special hardcover Deluxe Collector’s Edition featuring beautiful new packaging, including cloth over board one-piece case with gifty trim, case stamping with red foil, red-colored endpapers, red sprayed edges, and sewn-in red ribbon bookmark! 

    A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' "Love Song to the Nation" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces.

    “The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Here, at her most provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic, and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society bereft with lovelessness—not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love. 

    As bell hooks uses her incisive mind to explore the question “What is love?” her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Razing the cultural paradigm that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. The Utne Reader declared bell hooks one of the “100 Visionaries Who Can Change Your Life.” All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly her revelations can change hearts and minds for the better. 

    “Each offering from bell hooks is a major event, as she has so much to give us.” — Maya Angelou

  • Talk to Me Nice: The Seven Trust Languages for a Better Workplace

    Minda Harts

    $28.99

    “A game-changer for workplace dynamics” ―Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play

    The author of The Memo helps you discover what you need to navigate every workplace communication challenge with confidence.

    We are living in a world of broken trust, especially in the workplace. Employees have heard too many empty promises and are unmotivated. Managers are scrambling to keep eyes on direct reports in demanding environments. Nobody knows how to talk to one another. Trust is the central pillar of any functioning workplace. But without it too many of us are unhappy, fed up, and ready to walk out the door.

    Minda Harts knows from years of experience as a highly sought-after workplace consultant how a lack of trust between colleagues, managers, and executive leaders is bad for business and our own professional well-being. That’s where the seven workplace trust languages come into play. Earning trust is different for every one of us. Some respond well to verbal affirmations of their contributions, while others need visibility to see how business decisions are made. By understanding the seven languages of trust―transparency, security, demonstration, feedback, acknowledgment, sensitivity, and follow-through―we can all learn to navigate conflict, be more productive, and communicate more effectively.

    In Talk to Me Nice, you’ll learn what workplace trust languages work for you and how to show colleagues, managers, and direct reports that they are valued. When we’re talking one another’s languages, we can rebuild a more equitable, sustainable, and profitable workplace that works for us all.

  • Authentic: The Myth of Bringing Your Full Self to Work

    Jodi-Ann Burey

    Sold out

    A bold call to rethink authenticity at work

    Workplace dynamics in recent years have been a dizzying storm of broken promises. Companies that once encouraged employees to “come as you are” and bring your full, authentic self to work are now shutting down initiatives, part of an ongoing cycle of trading on our identities when it’s convenient and profitable.

    Jodi-Ann Burey, writer and critic known for her TED talk “The Myth of Bringing Your Full, Authentic Self to Work,” delves into the dangers of disclosure in environments that aren’t built for our well-being. With insights from pop culture, academic research, and interviews with other professionals of color, Burey argues that we deserve better than shallow ploys for representation.

    Our physical and emotional health are at risk, and too much is sacrificed―for ourselves and for collective progress―when our full potential is blocked by racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism. Authentic is a powerful reckoning―and now is the time to reclaim our agency. Even at work.
