Sinossi

In "Divergent Fortunes: A Tale of Wealth and Disparity," Dr. Pasquale De Marco takes us on a revelatory journey into the heart of the racial wealth gap in America. Through meticulous research and powerful storytelling, this book uncovers the historical, systemic, and societal factors that have created a deep economic divide between Black and white families.

With compelling narratives and in-depth analysis, Dr. Pasquale De Marco weaves together the experiences of individuals and families, painting a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs of Black wealth-building in America. We see how the legacy of discrimination, redlining, and unequal access to education and employment opportunities has created a persistent gap in wealth accumulation, limiting the economic mobility of Black families for generations.

But "Divergent Fortunes" is not just a story of disparity; it is also a story of resilience and determination. Dr. Pasquale De Marco shines a light on the Black families who have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to build wealth and pass it on to future generations. These inspiring stories serve as a testament to the power of perseverance, financial literacy, and community support.

This book is not only a critique of the current state of affairs but also a roadmap for change. Dr. Pasquale De Marco offers concrete strategies and policy recommendations to address the racial wealth gap and create a more just and equitable society. The book calls for systemic reforms in housing, education, and the financial system, as well as a renewed commitment to policies that promote economic opportunity for all.

"Divergent Fortunes" is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the racial wealth gap in America and work towards a more just and equitable future. It is a powerful indictment of the status quo and a clarion call for action.

This book will challenge your assumptions, inspire you to think critically about wealth inequality, and leave you with a renewed sense of urgency to work towards a future where economic opportunity is truly equal for all.

    This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: 
    Book 1 -  Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. 
    When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. 
    In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally. 
    Book 2 - Influence, at its core, means having the power to affect people or situations. Subconsciously, we are constantly influenced and are influencing others through countless factors that impact our decisions. Even something as mundane as choosing toothpaste involves a myriad of external influences. Influence is a universal phenomenon, not confined by species or origin. Although the factors that contribute to influence might seem endless, social scientists have identified fewer than ten key aspects. This book will explore how to effectively influence others to achieve your desired outcomes.

    A celebration and exploration of gossip, reclaiming it as a powerful tool for building relationships, sharing vital information and enabling women’s voices to be heard. 
    Tittle-tattle. Hearsay. Rumours. Bitching. Tea. 
    Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. From group WhatsApp chats to click-bait headlines, social media snooping to reality television, there is nothing more devilishly delicious, scandalous, and satisfying than a juicy piece of gossip. 
    All-too-often dismissed as the past-time of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there’s more to gossip than meets the eye. In today’s world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act a life-saving measure. 
    Tracing gossip’s roots from old wives’ tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Belief asks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out? 
    A joyous reclamation of women’s words, this book is for anyone who’s ever uttered the words, ‘You won’t believe this…’

    A Rare Recording of Iva Toguri...

    "Tokyo Rose" Iva Toguri

    The following are live recordings of Japanese-American Iva Toguri, of "Tokyo Rose" infamy. Tokyo Rose was a generic name given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to all female English-speaking radio broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. In fact, the name "Tokyo Rose" was never actually used by any Japanese broadcaster, but rather first appeared in U.S. newspapers in 1943 in the context of these radio programs. Toguri had traveled to Japan to tend to a sick aunt just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Unable to leave the country when war began with the United States, unable to stay with her aunt's family as an American citizen, and unable to receive any aid from her parents who were placed in internment camps in Arizona, Toguri eventually accepted a job as a part-time typist at Radio Tokyo. She was quickly recruited as a broadcaster for the propagandist program The Zero Hour, under the moniker, Orphan Ann. The name Tokyo Rose ceased to be merely a symbol, however, during September 1945 when Toguri attempted to return to the United States. Toguri was arrested and imprisoned for a year in Japan by American authorities. She was subsequently freed, then arrested again two years later. After being returned to the US, Toguri was tried and convicted of one count of treason, in a trial fraught with integrity issues and dubious testimony. Toguri was eventually paroled from prison in 1956, and finally received a pardon from President Gerald Ford in 1977.

    Narrated by the author, this empowering spiritual philosophy audiobook contains seven of Story Waters' most popular introductory texts that cover a wide variety of topics and give a comprehensive overview of his core teachings. These texts were updated and expanded in 2024. This is the first book of the ‘No Religion: Consciousness Creates Reality’ compendium. The seven texts in 'The Book of Introductions' are:Chapter 1: Introduction by Seth (as originally channeled by Jane Roberts).Chapter 2: Imagined (about John Lennon, the power of imagination, and the origins of this book).Chapter 3: The Messenger (the relationship between spirit, the embodied self, and wider eternal consciousness).Chapter 4: Gnosticism & the Infinite Library (how the Gnostic/channeling process works).Chapter 5: Loving Unconsciousness (how we form our mortal self through the use of selective unconsciousness).Chapter 6: Open Your Mind (an invitation for you to have your own adventure in consciousness)."These texts have been drawn from two decades of writing — from in-depth, formal spiritual philosophy … to accessible short-form articles ... to stream-of-consciousness texts … to adapted transcripts of my spoken messages. They describe a belief system that has evolved from receiving thousands of hours of gnostic communication/channeling from the wider reality — the non-physical, timeless state of consciousness the human experience continually births from. These beliefs outline how all truth is subjective & how we are all vessels of experience. Along with your current life experiences, your diverse ‘contents’ include the other lifetimes that were instrumental in forming your intention for this life. The reality you are creating must be met & integrated, regardless of whether you identify its contents as positive or negative. It is a gift of self-transformation you have given to yourself." - from Chapter 1: Introduction by Seth.
