    Considering himself a visitor, Papa L explains to his grandson's International Philosophy group how we are all spiritual beings visiting and having temporary human experiences. He puts into prospective our power over what we choose to embrace during our human life visit and how we can each get more than we want by using some of the most basic principles and practices ie., kindness, grace, understanding, gratefulness, appreciation. As the audience grows to the world's attention, he goes on to challenge everyone tuning in to study the Universal Laws for themselves. The challenge was accepted but not one person could dispute the results of the law of attraction. The discussion with Papa L became a larger-than-life experience for literary scholars, instructors and laymen. 
    As he sat in his "BeCause" T-shirt, Papa L shared a unique perspective on energy, vibration, God, life, purpose and so much more. Inviting everyone to understand that, "cause and effect" is the only thing happening, you must consciously be the cause to create desired effects. 
    Expressing no judgement of any one's beliefs, Papa L delivers, perhaps, the most needed conversation for humanity today.

    The practices and values in the United States educational system position linguistically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse children and families at a disadvantage. BIPOC dropout rates and levels of stress and anxiety have linked with non-inclusive school environments. In this collection, three educators draw on their experiences as immigrants and educators to address racial inequity in the classroom and provide a thorough analysis of different strategies that create an inclusive classroom. White educators that serve BIPOC students will benefit from these reflections on incorporating culturally relevant pedagogies that value the diverse experiences of students. 
     
     
     
    With a focus on Haitian and Dominican students in the United States, the authors reveal the challenges that immigrant and first-generation students face. They also offer insights about topics such as: 
     
     
     
    ● How do language policies and social justice intersect? 
     
     
     
    ● How can educators use culturally relevant teaching and community funds of knowledge to enrich curriculum? 
     
     
     
    ● How can educators center the needs of the student within the classroom?

    The lack of BIPOC and LGBTQ representation in the fields of health and nutrition has led to repeated racist and unscientific biases that negatively impact the very people they purport to help. Many representatives of the increasingly popular body-positivity movement actually add to the body-image concerns of queer people of color by emphasizing cisgender, heteronormative, and Eurocentric standards of beauty. Few mainstream body-positivity resources address the intersectional challenges of anti-Blackness, colorism, homophobia, transphobia, and generational trauma that are at the root of our struggles with wellness and self-care. In Decolonizing Wellness, registered dietitian and nutritionist Dalia Kinsey will help listeners improve their health without restriction, eliminate stress around food and eating, and turn food into a source of pleasure instead of shame. A road map to body acceptance and self-care for queer people of color, this book is filled with practical eating practices, journal prompts, affirmations, and mindfulness tools. Ultimately, decolonizing nutrition is essential not only to our personal well-being but to our community’s well-being and to the possibility of greater social transformation. This is a body-positivity and food-freedom book for marginalized folks. It’s a guide to throwing out food rules in exchange for internal cues and adopting a self-love-based approach to eating. It’s about learning to trust our bodies and turning mealtime into a time for celebration and healing.
