    Fifty-something Kathleen used 23andme to identify her biological mother, who is rumored to have a child with a priest. Kathleen believes that her father is Angie's great-uncle Ed, a beloved monsignor. Couldn't it be one of the other seven priests in the family?

    From Near-Death to New Life 
    Barbara (Pamplin) Ohuninifa’s debut memoir, From Fat, Black, and Unlovable to Beautiful Powerful Love, shares her extraordinary journey of survival and healing. In 2017, Barbara faced an aortic dissection—a cardiac event with a 99% fatality rate—along with three open-heart surgeries and three resuscitations. This crisis was not random but the result of unresolved generational pain, betrayal, and systemic trauma. 
    Determined to heal, Barbara embraced intentional practices to reclaim her health and identity. Her story reveals how she untangled herself from toxic beliefs rooted in misogynoir, systemic oppression, and the inherited traumas of slavery. Reflecting on her South Side Chicago upbringing, her years as a young single mother in Atlanta, and the truths she uncovered, she inspires readers with her transformation. Her memoir affirms the power of healing and joy, no matter the odds. 
    What You’ll Discover 
    Barbara’s memoir offers readers more than a story—it’s a guide to healing. Alongside her reflections, she shares practical tools, including: 
    Reconnecting with Self: Techniques to align with your authentic self through nature, Ancestral guidance, and inner stillness. 
    Reflection and Growth: Journaling prompts and meditations to deepen self-awareness and release limiting beliefs. 
    Holistic Healing: Grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and rituals for emotional and physical well-being. 
    A Life of Joy: Simple, actionable ideas to bring creativity, laughter, and celebration into daily life. 
    This book empowers Black women to heal generational wounds, reclaim their power, and embrace self-love. 
    Part of the Beautiful Powerful Love Series 
    This memoir is the first in the Beautiful Powerful Love series, followed by Remember Who The Fck You Are*, a journal and activity book for Black women. Together, these works provide a transformational toolkit for self-discovery, healing, and reconnecting with Ancestral wisdom.

    Fear is one of the most primal human emotions, deeply embedded in the survival instincts of individuals and societies. Throughout history, it has been harnessed as a tool of control, allowing those in positions of power to manipulate others for personal, political, or financial gain. Fear tactics involve the deliberate use of intimidation, threats, and uncertainty to shape perceptions, influence decisions, and suppress opposition. Whether used in personal relationships, corporate environments, or large-scale governance, these tactics exploit an individual’s natural aversion to danger and discomfort.  
    At its core, a fear tactic works by triggering the instinctive fight-or-flight response. When people perceive a threat—whether real or fabricated—they become more susceptible to external influence. Logical reasoning often takes a backseat to emotional reactions, making individuals more likely to comply with demands, accept misleading information, or make decisions that they otherwise would not consider. Fear-based influence operates on the principle that an individual will do whatever is necessary to avoid the perceived threat, even if it means relinquishing personal freedoms, adopting extreme beliefs, or placing trust in an unworthy authority.

    Self-reliance is often rooted in the idea that no matter the circumstances that you were born into, you can still make something of yourself and your life and leave a mark on this world. One of Louisa´s favourite writers was the German poet, Goethe. Goethe was born into great wealth, which eventually led him to challenge himself. Being born as a rich man caused emptiness. Some readers might notice that this is down to tee Laurie´s character. Goethe eventually found writing to be his calling, and he recommended work as the best remedy for a broken heart. In Little Women, when Laurie is in Vienna after he has been rejected by Jo and has been lectured by Amy, he's writing an opera which would quote "harrow Jo´s soul and melt her heart" But he just keeps seeing Jo in the most unflattering ways and soon Jo is replaced by a beautiful ghost who looks a lot like Amy, and Laurie sees himself as a romantic prince. I have seen about 14 Little Women adaptations, and this part of Laurie in Vienna has never been adapted, which is a problem. Laurie is flirting with this ghost for a while, and then he stops and for the first time in his life, Laurie realizes that what he's doing is silly and he remembers Amy's words. She took his hands and said that they were soft and white as a woman's and they had never done a day's work. Only picked flowers for girls and wore Jouvin´s best gloves. As a result of this, Laurie goes to work for his grandfather. Laurie's character arc in Little Women is not about Amy or Jo. It is the story of how Laurie becomes a man. In Louisa May Alcott´s world, the only acceptable wealthy people are philanthropists. With Laurie´s character, Louisa May Alcott criticised the people who are on the top of the class system.
