  The first comprehensive guide for leading BIPOC affinity groups for challenging white supremacy, healing racial trauma, and taking collective action 
   
   
   
  Meeting in racial affinity groups is a common practice in anti-racist, social justice, diversity, and similar educational endeavors. These groups provide a structured space in which participants can explore how racism personally impacts them, process specific experiences of racism, receive validation and support from their peers, heal, and strategize next steps for challenging racism, white supremacy, and internalized racial oppression. 
   
   
   
  In A Space for Us, Michelle Cassandra Johnson brings her over twenty years of experience leading dismantling-racism work to provide the first affinity-group guide made for BIPOC communities. This essential guide will: provide an understanding of the racial hierarchy and how it has impacted Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color differently; define and share common manifestations of internalized racial oppression; define anti-Blackness and provide skills to interrupt and address it; share rituals, practices, and sample agendas for affinity groups; provide rituals and tools for healing in BIPOC affinity groups; and provide information about how to come back together as BIPOC and white people to strategize and take collective action.

  America's first intelligence agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was forged in the fires of WWII. OSS agents carried out daring and covert operations across the world, yet their critical contributions and brave work have remained shrouded in secrecy — until now. 
  Discover the stunning true story of Steven Bizic and the men of SPIKE team as they descend into darkness, landing amidst the turmoil of a nation torn apart by civil war and years of Nazi occupation. Facing the looming threat from fascists and the insidious influence of communism, the men of SPIKE must navigate a treacherous landscape where trust is rare and betrayal lurks around every corner. Originally penned at the end of WWII, this groundbreaking tell-all has only been recently discovered, shedding incredible light on the creation of the CIA and U.S. Army Special Forces, the chaos of WWII, and the people trapped in between. 
  "CODE NAME: SPIKE is... a trove of knowledge, inspiration, and wisdom... relevant in ways few such stories can be... it offers warriors, strategists, and policymakers alike a glimpse into what the dynamics of irregular warfare are, and more importantly, what they are not." - Lieutenant General (Retired) Charles Cleveland Commanding General U.S. Army Special Operations Command, 2012-2015 
  "Captivating!... and rediscovered by a Special Forces Green Beret." - Charles Pinck, President of The OSS Society

  The Earthquake - Your Journey...

  Personal catastrophes are like an earthquake: they leave us too shaken to know what to do next, afraid that every step we take might spark another upheaval. But we can learn to resist our human instinct to hide from challenges. In this entertaining modern-day fable, Vince Poscente introduces us to the well-intentioned, conscious ant and the habitually fearful, subconscious elephant as seismic destruction changes their world and ultimately forces them to leave their oasis. 
   
   
   
  What Adir the ant and Elgo the elephant learn—and what you'll learn by journeying with them—is that the linear path they used to reach the oasis in The Ant and the Elephant does not work in the chaos after an earthquake. How can they breakthrough and thrive after a life-altering setback? The answer lies in the "Solution Loop," a tool that teaches them to use collaboration, curiosity, and creativity to: reframe dark times as illuminating experiences; resist the impulse to go it alone; find fresh perspectives; and eek a path where you can enjoy the journey. 
   
   
   
  The methodology is told using the time-honored method of a parable. Offering prescriptive advice, and  based on Poscente's study of practices like decoding human behavior, the neuroscience of performance, and interpersonal dysfunction around fear, The Earthquake is a must-listen.

  Xia Dynasty - The Myth and...

  The Xia Dynasty is often considered the first dynasty of China, marking the transition from a prehistoric era dominated by tribal alliances to a structured monarchy. However, much of what is known about the Xia comes from ancient texts written centuries later, blurring the line between history and legend. At the heart of this foundation myth is Yu the Great, a figure credited with taming the catastrophic floods that once plagued the Yellow River region. 
  According to traditional accounts, China before the Xia was ruled by the Five Emperors, semi-mythical sages who brought order and knowledge to early societies. The final ruler of this period, Emperor Shun, recognized Yu for his brilliance and appointed him to control the devastating floods that had threatened agricultural settlements for generations. Unlike his predecessors, who attempted to block or divert the waters, Yu devised a system of dredging and canal-building that allowed the floodwaters to drain naturally into rivers and the sea. His efforts reportedly took over a decade, during which he traveled across the land, surveying the terrain and directing large-scale labor projects. His selfless dedication won him the admiration of the people, and his success in flood control cemented his reputation as a leader with the Mandate of Heaven. 
  The concept of the Mandate of Heaven, though later fully developed under the Zhou Dynasty, has its roots in the Xia period. It suggested that rulers were chosen by divine will and that their legitimacy depended on their ability to maintain order and prosperity. Yu's ability to tame the floods demonstrated both his virtue and his right to rule. Upon Emperor Shun’s abdication, Yu became the first king of the Xia Dynasty, establishing a hereditary monarchy that would continue for generations.
