  Humanism - Celebrating Human...

  Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively. At its core, humanism advocates for the belief that humans are capable of leading meaningful lives based on reason, ethics, and justice. It is grounded in the understanding that humans have the capacity for rational thought, empathy, and creativity, which are fundamental to the flourishing of individuals and societies. 
  The roots of humanism can be traced back to the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome, where the focus was on human potential and the pursuit of knowledge. However, it gained significant momentum during the Renaissance, a period marked by a renewed interest in classical antiquity and a shift away from religious dogma toward human-centered exploration. Renaissance thinkers, such as Petrarch and Erasmus, championed the importance of human dignity, education, and the ability to shape one's own destiny through knowledge and reason. These principles would later influence the development of modern humanist thought. 
  Unlike religious philosophies that place divine beings at the center of moral order, humanism is secular in nature. It does not rely on supernatural explanations or interventions, but rather promotes the idea that humans themselves are responsible for creating meaning and morality in their lives. Humanism calls for an ethical framework based on reason, scientific inquiry, and compassion, with the goal of improving human well-being and contributing to the common good.

  Ashanti Empire - Kingdom of the...

  The Ashanti Empire, flourishing from the 17th to the 19th century in what is now Ghana, stands as a testament to the resilience and sophistication of African states. This powerful kingdom was established through a unique blend of indigenous cultural traditions and political innovations, creating a centralized authority that not only governed a vast territory but also unified diverse ethnic groups under a single national identity. At the heart of this unity was the revered Golden Stool, a symbol of divine providence and the collective spirit of the Ashanti people. 
  Emerging from a landscape rich in natural resources and strategic trade routes, the Ashanti Empire developed robust economic foundations. Gold, kola nuts, and other valuable commodities flowed through well-established networks, facilitating both internal prosperity and external exchanges with neighboring regions and distant trading partners. This economic strength enabled the empire to invest in military expansion and administrative structures that further consolidated its power. 
  The political organization of the Ashanti Empire was characterized by a sophisticated hierarchy led by the Asantehene, whose authority was both political and spiritual. This dual role was crucial in maintaining social order and ensuring loyalty among the various clans and communities within the empire. The administration was further supported by councils of elders and local chiefs, who played significant roles in the governance process by mediating disputes and enforcing the laws that held the society together.

  The key to your career advancement is understanding how power works--who has it, where it hides, and how it's used. Please Sit Over There teaches Black women the career skills they need to navigate an uneven playing field and achieve long-lasting professional success. 
   
  Black women continuously navigate systems that were never intended for them while using a set of rules that was never designed for them. There are so many unwritten rules of power still at play in professional organizations that repeatedly hinder Black women in their career development and overall workplace experiences. 
   
  In this book, Francine Parham shares her knowledge as a former Black female global executive of two major corporations on how to move up in the workplace while maintaining a sense of sanity. The first section lays the foundation for understanding power dynamics, while the second section shows how to "shift the power" as a professional Black woman. Finally, the third section helps readers to pinpoint and navigate the particulars of an organization's flawed systems and processes so they can advance to the next professional level. 
   
  Please Sit Over There honors the painstaking work being undertaken to deconstruct broken institutions and demonstrates how Black women can achieve their goals while those institutions still exist-effectively opening doors for all women of color to come.
