  "The author's message is potent and timely... this is a vital call to reform a broken system." – Publishers Weekly Review, June 2025
  "Dr. Lester has gifted us this book for this moment and for our posterity. He shares searing personal stories of tragedy and hardship that moves the crisis in our educational system beyond statistics and into the realm of human impact. . . . He adds academic ballast to his intimate narrative, so we come to understand not simply his individual story, but the historic and systemic forces at work that affect millions today." – Jemar Tisby, from the foreword
  Inspiring the Next Generation to Advocate for Educational Equity
  Terence Lester was born into a two-parent household that later separated due to family conflict. In search of safety and stability, his mother moved him and his sister from place to place. Carrying the weight of that early trauma, Lester turned to gangs, became a juvenile delinquent, experienced homelessness, and at one point lived out of his car. He dropped out of high school.
  But Lester's story doesn't end there. He eventually returned to school, graduated as a fifth-year senior, and defied the odds by earning five degrees, including a PhD in public policy. What made the difference?
  In From Dropout to Doctorate, Lester unveils the realities of educational injustice and the profound impact of unjust policies and systems on Black communities. He shows how poverty disrupts the lives of Black families, leading to homelessness and perpetuating the school-to-prison pipeline.
  A Powerful Personal Story
  Drawing from his own personal narrative and scholarly research, Lester names the complex challenges faced by Black children in underresourced and socially dense environments. As a public scholar and nonprofit leader, he advocates for equitable access to advanced education and addresses the systemic barriers that limit opportunities for Black people.
  An Advocate's Voice for Change
  Through his personal experiences, Lester calls on educators, nonprofit leaders, and community influencers to confront educational inequity and inspire systemic change. His advocacy encourages readers to envision a world rooted in justice and inclusivity. Offering remedies of community involvement and mentorship, Lester marks out a hopeful pathway that cultivates potential and provides opportunities for Black youth to thrive.
  For Those Who Believe in a Just Future
  This book speaks to those who are ready to champion change and reimagine what is possible for marginalized communities. From Dropout to Doctorate will challenge you to question the status quo and equip you to make a difference in your community.
  If you're ready to join the fight for educational equity and inspire the next generation, pick up your copy today. Will you be the next one to make an impact?

  This Is Not A Leadership Book -...

  Emmanuel Gobillot

  • 0

  Part leadership book, part business book, and 100% true, this is like hearing a wise, honest, and humorous mentor finally tell you about the world of business as it is and how to find your place in it. 
   
   
   
  Many leadership books are either shallow (focusing on only one element of leadership), narrow (examining leadership out of context), or biased (selling an idealized model). This book seeks simplicity without being simplistic and focuses on the listener in their context rather than describing other people's leadership in theirs. It sets out twenty rules for success that draw on Emmanuel Gobillot's twenty years of experience advising high-performing leaders. Each rule is presented in an engaging, instantly recognizable true story that helps current and aspiring leaders to look differently at their own situation. 
   
   
   
  Best described as a leadership development program, this book takes you on a fast-paced, three-step journey from what it takes to be a leader, to why you can be one, via how to succeed.

  The Shocking Truth about Stress...

  Stress is often seen as an unavoidable part of modern life. From overwhelming work deadlines to financial struggles and personal conflicts, stress seems to lurk around every corner. Society has long accepted stress as a necessary evil, something we must learn to endure. But what if everything you’ve been told about stress management is wrong? What if the traditional methods of coping—deep breathing, relaxation techniques, and work-life balance strategies—aren’t enough to truly free you from its grip?  
    
  For years, experts have preached the same advice: meditate, take breaks, practice mindfulness, and reduce your workload. While these techniques may offer temporary relief, they fail to address the root causes of stress. Many people follow these recommendations diligently, only to find themselves still overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated. The real problem isn’t just the stress itself but how we understand and manage it. The shocking truth is that most stress management techniques only scratch the surface, ignoring the deeper psychological, physiological, and societal factors that keep stress alive.  
    
  Modern life is more demanding than ever. The pressure to succeed, maintain relationships, stay financially stable, and keep up with an always-connected digital world makes stress an inescapable force. The reality is that stress is not just an emotional reaction—it is a full-body experience that affects your mind, health, and overall well-being. Chronic stress can lead to anxiety, depression, heart disease, and even a weakened immune system. It changes the way you think, the way you make decisions, and the way you interact with others. And yet, most people continue to treat stress as if it’s just a fleeting feeling that can be soothed away with a few minutes of meditation.

  Exurbia Now - The Battleground...

  David Masciotra

  The suburbs have become too liberal and diverse for many white American conservatives, so "exurbia"—areas outside the cities and their suburbs—are becoming the staging ground for the radical right extremist insurgency . . . 
   
   
   
  Beyond a fanatical devotion to former president Donald Trump, one of the curious things that united the rank and file of the January 6 insurrectionist mob was that many of them were residents of one of America's fastest growing residential areas: Exurbia. In this brilliant work of political and cultural inquiry, veteran political journalist David Masciotra provides a definitive account of what exurbia is, how it came to be, and how it's transforming American life. Zooming in outside the greater metropolitan area of Chicago—where Masciotra grew up—he shows how exurbia has become a safe space to fly the MAGA flag and romanticize the mores of the pre-civil rights, pre-feminist, pre-gay rights 1950s. 
   
   
   
  But, as Masciotra also shows, reactionary white flight is not the whole story of small-town America. The story often lost is the power and persistence of small-town liberals—people who believe in equality, celebrate diversity, and enroll in movements for justice. Exurbia, as it turns out, is ground zero for the fight over a democracy mightily beleaguered, yet still full of promise, and still worth fighting for.
