  A stirring account of how to gain—and own—your power. 
  From growing up in 1980s Harlem to working at entertainment giants such as BET, MTV, and Nickelodeon, Khadijah Sharif-Drinkard has spent her life redefining what real power looks like. 
  In Power Reimagined, she dismantles the myths we've been taught about power. Through raw, behind-the-scenes stories from both her childhood and her trailblazing career, she reveals that real power isn't handed to you—it's forged through strategy, courage, and an unshakable belief in your own worth. 
  She takes listeners inside high-stakes situations where she refused to settle for less and pivotal moments where audacity became her greatest asset. From her earliest dreams of success to the executive offices where she made those dreams real, Sharif-Drinkard reveals the moments that shaped her and the strategies that helped her lead with impact and integrity. 
  Part fearless memoir, part inspirational guide, Power Reimagined is for anyone who's ever been overlooked, undervalued, or told they didn't belong. This book will inspire you to own your power and use it without apology.

  After a full-throttle brain bleed at the age of twenty-five, Ashok Rajamani, a first-generation Indian American, had to be reborn, relearning the most basic of things, piecing together a past, reclaiming a life, and coping with the societal prejudice inflicted on those with traumatic injury. With humor, spirit, and insight, he describes the catastrophic event (his brain exploded just before his brother's wedding!), as well as the long, difficult recovery period. In the process, he introduces readers to his family—his principal support group, as well as a constant source of frustration and amazement. Irreverent, coruscating, at times shocking, but always revelatory, this audio production of his critically acclaimed memoir takes the listener into unfamiliar territory, much like the experience Alice had when she fell down the rabbit hole. That Ashok lived to tell the story is miraculous; that he tells it with such aplomb is simply remarkable.

  "I’ve heard it said that for alcoholics like me, there are only four possibilities: prison, the psychiatric ward, death or sobriety. I didn't go to jail, but did end up at the police station, in a drunk tank. The psychiatric hospital? I was there for a week, it was shocking. Death? I came close to it several times. I've come a long way, a very long way. But today I've come out of it and I'm totally clean."
  Drowning in Alcohol is the rare story of a young woman who had everything going for her, but but who gradually fell into alcohol and alcoholic madness. Drowning in vodka at the age of 35, Virginie Hamonnais lost custody of her child, and for five years led a life of vagrancy and great suffering.
  The author has now stopped drinking. She is fighting against this strong addiction that affects many young women. This testimony brings a message of hope because it shows that it is possible to get out of the vicious cycle, in spite of the taboo and the addiction which can touch any one of us.
