  "The author's message is potent and timely... this is a vital call to reform a broken system." – Publishers Weekly Review, June 2025
  Discover An Inspiring Personal Story of Resilience, Redemption, and Advocacy
  Born into an impoverished community in a two-parent household that later fractured, Terence Lester and his sister were moved from place to place by their mother in a search for safety and stability. Carrying the heavy weight of that early trauma, Lester's path led him to gangs, juvenile delinquency, and even homelessness, at one point living out of his car. He eventually dropped out of high school, another statistic in a system designed to fail him.
  But his journey did not end in despair. Lester returned to school, graduating as a fifth-year senior against all odds. He went on to earn five degrees, including a PhD in public policy.
  A Story of Overcoming Systemic Barriers
  From Dropout to Doctorate is Terence Lester's powerful story of overcoming adversity to becoming a champion for educational equity. Lester shares his own story of resilience through trauma, perseverance through pain, and reliance upon community that led him to where he is today—not to glory in success, but to give back to the community that God used to shape him.
  Connecting his personal struggles to the larger, complex challenges faced by Black children in under-resourced communities, Lester's story brings attention to what must be done to ensure that others facing similar odds have the opportunity to achieve their own dreams.
  In this book, you will discover:
  
  - A compelling personal narrative of overcoming adversity, from homelessness and dropping out of high school to earning a doctorate.
  - In-depth insights into the realities of educational injustice and its impact on Black communities.
  - A thoughtful exploration of how poverty, unjust policies, and the school-to-prison pipeline disrupt lives and perpetuate systemic barriers.
  - An inspiring call for educators, leaders, and advocates to champion educational equity and a more just and inclusive world.
  
  A Call to Invest in a More Just Future
  As you travel with Lester through scenes both painful and hopeful from his early life, you'll see how God can take even the most broken parts of your story and use them for his glory. You'll be inspired to advocacy—to confront educational inequity and inspire change. From Dropout to Doctorate offers a hopeful pathway forward for those ready to reimagine what is possible for marginalized communities.
  Will you be the next one to make an impact?

  Mercantilism Explained - The...

  Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
  The historical context of mercantilism is deeply intertwined with the Age of Exploration and the rise of powerful nation-states. During this period, European powers such as Spain, Portugal, England, France, and the Netherlands expanded their empires overseas, establishing colonies that served as both sources of raw materials and markets for finished goods. These colonies were central to mercantilist strategies, enabling mother countries to extract wealth and resources while controlling trade to their advantage. This symbiotic relationship between mercantilism and colonial expansion would shape the geopolitical dynamics of the time, fueling rivalries and conflicts between competing empires. 
  Central to mercantilism was the role of government intervention in the economy. Unlike modern free-market principles, mercantilist policies relied heavily on state control to regulate trade and protect domestic industries. Governments imposed tariffs on imported goods, subsidized local production, and established monopolies through chartered companies to ensure economic self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on foreign powers. This top-down approach sought to consolidate economic power within the state, reinforcing the notion that national prosperity and security were interconnected.
