A bold framework for successfully navigating complicated interactions at work and at home—by one of the first leadership coaches to infuse her work with an equity lens and create spaces for connection that require both accountability and generosity.

We all have that moment we wish we could do over. Maybe it was a comment you made at work. Or a look you gave a loved one. Or a time you bit your tongue when a colleague said something that just didn't sit right. These moments cause real, lasting damage because they move us away from who most want to be, and they are what Aiko Bethea calls "the bullsh*t": bullsh*t that keeps us misaligned with who we aspire to be. But Aiko Bethea suggests that there is an alternative—a way to reframe“the bullsh*t”as instances that offer us a choice: We can shrink away, remain in our default comfort zone, and refuse to change our approach—or we can apply a new framework to alter our entire mindset, relationships, and quality of life. Because, as she says, “bullsh*t can’t be fought off, but it can be transcended.” Through her "Anchored-Aligned-Accountable" framework, Bethea shows us how:

Transformation requires that we are anchored in our values, our intention and impact are aligned, and we are accountable to ourselves and others.

Bethea takes us through the real-life scenarios from her career as a facilitator and leadership coach, and guides us through journaling prompts and practical exercises, teaching us how to intentionally lean into our fears and learn from our mistakes. With a witty, engaging voice, Anchored, Aligned, Accountable invites us to embrace connection over competition, empathy over pity, and vulnerability over ego, so that we can become the version of ourselves that we truly respect.

From the multi-award-winning performer, author, and activist, a comprehensive program for addressing mental and physical health—and encouraging communities to do the same.

Common has achieved success in many facets of his life and career, from music to acting to writing. But for a long time, he didn’t feel that he had found fulfillment in his body and spirit.

And Then We Rise is about Common’s journey to wellness as a vital element of his success. A testimony to the benefits of self-care, this book is composed of four different sections, each with its own important lessons: "The Food" focuses on nutrition. "The Body" focuses on fitness. "The Mind" focuses on mental health. And "The Soul" focuses on perhaps the most profound thing of all—spiritual well-being. 

Common’s personal stories act as the backbone of his book, but he also wants to give his readers the gift of professional expertise. Here, he acts as the liaison to his own nutritionist and chef, his own physical trainer, and his own therapist, as well as to those who act as his spiritual influences.

Wise, accessible, and powerful, And Then We Rise offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to wellness that will allow readers to transform their thinking, their actions, and, ultimately, their lives.

The Astrology of Healing offers a spiritual map quest to our unfolding, a way to navigate tough times, knowing they will end and shift just as the planets do above us. Our ability to speak with the symbolism of the stars gives us the keys to unlock our full potential.

There is a magical moment when you see your trauma embedded within your own birth chart. It's a come to God moment. When you realize the wounds you endured in your life were already written in the archetypal signature at the time you took your first breath. It was already there. Waiting for you to live through it, to alchemize into something more, because everything really does happen for a reason. Our most impactful events in our lives are packed into our birth charts.

In The Astrology of Healing, author Nada Yousif shares her knowledge of the stars and how they impact the most significant events of our lives. She takes a scholarly approach, tying in history with astrological placements for a macro view of the world. But she also invites the reader to examine their own life events, traumas, and accomplishments through specific evaluations of birth charts and what each placement means.

Astrology not only shows us all of our core wounds, but it gives context to why we need them and how we can work with them in this lifetime. It's alchemy at it's finest. Astrology gives our wounds the map to the integration of our special healing elixir that we are meant to offer back to the world around us. As within, so without… The Astrology of Healing says, “Not only was this meant to happen, but here's why.” That alone heals at a deeper level.

Throughout the pages of this book, Yousif examines the charts of famous figures, both historical and modern and breaks down the events of their lives to show how astrology affects us all. The author also weaves in her personal story and shares how astrology changed her life. Then, she provides guidance to the reader, so they can use astrology to unlock their full potential, use the gifts they've been given, and heal the meaningful wounds within so they can fulfill their highest destinies.

Astrology is like an ancient language. Once we remember this ancient language, we can begin to decipher what our own charts are trying to teach us. We can come to understand the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ to use these lessons and life experiences for our spiritual evolution. It’s an opportunity to shine the light on our innermost selves. Seeing our birth charts for the first time is like turning on a flashlight in a dark hidden room that’s been locked up our entire life. Suddenly we can see everything, each one of our traumas show up in a symbolic, energetic signature… our ‘Natal Promise’. It’s a worldview-changing moment for most, and gives credibility to the saying, “Everything happens for a reason." Our power is truly written in the stars.

This book will be a first-of-its-kind resource in the market, engaging cults and alternative religious groups specific to the African American community.

Urban Apologetics examines the legitimate issues that Black communities have with Western Christianity and shows how the gospel of Jesus Christ—rather than popular, socioreligious alternatives—restores our identity.

African Americans have long confronted the challenge of dignity destruction caused by white supremacy. While many have found meaning and restoration of dignity in the black church, others have found it in ethnocentric socioreligious groups and philosophies.

These ideologies have grown and developed deep traction in the black community and beyond. Revisionist history, conspiracy theories, and misinformation about Jesus and Christianity are the order of the day. Many young African Americans are disinterested in Christianity and others are leaving the church in search of what these false religious ideas appear to offer, a spirituality more indigenous to their history and ethnicity.

Edited by Dr. Eric Mason and featuring a top-notch lineup of contributors, Urban Apologetics is the first book focused entirely on cults, religious groups, and ethnocentric ideologies prevalent in the black community. The book is divided into three main parts:

• Discussions on the unique context for urban apologetics so that you can better understand the cultural arguments against Christianity among the Black community.
• Detailed information on cults, religious groups, and ethnic identity groups that many urban evangelists encounter—such as the Nation of Islam, Kemetic spirituality, African mysticism, Hebrew Israelites, Black nationalism, and atheism.
• Specific tools for urban apologetics and community outreach.

Ultimately, Urban Apologetics applies the gospel to black identity to show that Jesus is the only one who can restore it. This is an essential resource to equip those doing the work of ministry and apology in urban communities with the best available information.

The popular host of the Money Moves podcast and youngest person ever to trade on the New York Stock Exchange provides winning tips for women to help them shift their financial mindset, become confident about their money, set them on a path to financial security, and live their best lives.

“Seventy three percent of Americans ranked their finances as the number one cause of stress in their lives. But financial wellness can have a positive effect on your entire life. Not only when it comes to money and finances, but the quality and ease of how you live. Financial wellness means freedom for your body and freedom for your mind. Financial stress can also cause the breakdown of relationships. But it doesn’t have to be that way.”—Lauren Simmons

In 2017, when she was only twenty-two, Lauren Simmons became the youngest full-time female trader at the New York Stock Exchange, and the second African American woman in the Exchange's 228-year history to hold such a position. Driven by a passion for empowering women, Millennials, Gen Zs, and minorities to become more financially savvy, she now shares her experience and knowledge in this savvy financial guide.

Simmons brings a fresh perspective to personal finance: she is a young African American woman with an understanding of how to increase wealth and an awareness of generational and cultural barriers—such an income inequity—that can hold people back from taking financial risks. In her warm, down-to-earth voice, Simmons makes confusing topics easy to understand. She breaks down the pros and cons of buying stocks and Treasuries, explains how to maximize your 401K opportunities even in challenging economic times, advises how to grapple with student loans, and helps you break family cycles when dealing (or not) with debt.

Simmons helps a new generation and others who have been overlooked learn how to take care of their money—so their money can take care of them, today and tomorrow.

Do you know that feeling of "not belonging" when you have so much to say at a work meeting? Of being a "yes-girl" but getting passed up for promotions?

For women of color and children of immigrants, who are the “the other” at work, there's a different threshold of belonging that creates a false feeling of inadequacy. It can lead to being overwhelmed, overworked, and overlooked. The Other shatters the unspoken expectations for you to stay in your lane and gives you the tools to build unshakable confidence and a career that excels--on your own terms.  

Bestselling author and MSNBC reporter Daniela-Pierre Bravo spent many years undocumented and in the shadows as an immigrant from Chile, working odd jobs to pay her way through school. Like many other women of color she became an expert shape shifter in order to chameleon her way around professional environments that felt out of reach. When Daniela became a DACA recipient, she finally felt that she’d made it, rising through the ranks in her career. But she quickly realized that no matter how much success she achieved, she always felt she had to prove her worth as “the other.”

In The Other, Daniela shares her journey and those of other women to help you recognize your power in the workplace outside of the white gaze. She drives you to reshape the way you think about career advancement without losing your sense of identity and helps you see how to use your differences as an advantage. Smart, revealing, and loaded with practical steps, The Other is a framework for how to effectively advocate for yourself, become your biggest believer, claim the spaces in your career that are rightfully yours.

From author and Instagram personality Chrissy King, an exciting, genre-redefining narrative mix of memoir, inspiration, and specific exercises and prompts, with timely messages about social and racial justice, and how the world needs to move beyond body positivity to something even more exciting and revolutionary—body liberation.

Simply said, diet culture is rooted in white supremacy. The notion that those who fall outside of Eurocentric standards of beauty (think Black, fat, trans, etc.) are less attractive is a message that is transmitted daily from multiple external forces or social institutions (e.g., church, government, business industries, media, and family/peer groups). Body image and beauty standards can only be truly understood within a framework of interlocking systems of “isms” – (e.g., racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism).

While it’s challenging for everyone, it’s even more complicated for those living in marginalized bodies. That being said, the solution isn’t body acceptance or even body positivity. Those may be an important part of the journey, but the answer is . . . body liberation, with the recognition that none of us are free unless all of us are free.

The Body Liberation Project is about just that. It’s about finding actual freedom in our bodies, through finding strength and the aspects of fitness that work for YOU. It’s about understanding that the goal is not to look at our bodies and love everything that we see. It’s to understand that at our essence we are so much more than our bodies. But it’s also about recognizing the harsh realities that prohibit some people from being able to do that.
