  Transformative change is often met with intense opposition, but we will not back down from the fight for social justice. 
    
  In a nation caught in the crosscurrents of progress and backlash, Weathering the Storm offers both a wake-up call and a balm for the weary. Psychologist and educator Dr. Tiffany G. Townsend draws from her decades of leadership in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), blending personal stories, historical analysis, and psychological expertise to equip us with tools for resistance and resilience. 
    
  With compassion, Dr. Townsend unpacks the tactics used to stifle equity including microaggressions, tokenism, gaslighting, and the systemic dismantling of DEI efforts with a concept she calls the "redemptionist playbook." This is not a book about despair. It's a call to radical hope. 
    
  Grounded in psychological research and cultural history, Weathering the Storm offers a blueprint for navigating personal and professional spaces. Through strategies like self-care as resistance, spiritual grounding, collective action, and effective allyship, Dr. Townsend reminds us that well-being and activism are not mutually exclusive; they are intimately intertwined. 
    
  This guide is for anyone who has ever felt worn down by injustice, disillusioned by regression, or isolated in their advocacy. It offers validation, empowerment, and above all, the reminder that the fight for justice is a long arc that we will ultimately bend together.

  A New York Times bestselling poetry collection from Clint Smith, author of #1 bestseller and National Book Critics Circle Award winner How the Word Is Passed.  "A joyful embrace and legacy of bright language and poignant questions." —Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of World of Wonders Clint Smith’s vibrant and compelling new collection traverses the vast emotional terrain of fatherhood, and explores how becoming a parent has recalibrated his sense of the world. There are poems that interrogate the ways our lives are shaped by both personal lineages and historical institutions. There are poems that revel in the wonder of discovering the world anew through the eyes of your children, as they discover it for the first time. There are poems that meditate on what it means to raise a family in a world filled with constant social and political tumult. Above Ground wrestles with how we hold wonder and despair in the same hands, how we carry intimate moments of joy and a collective sense of mourning in the same body. Smith’s lyrical, narrative poems bring the reader on a journey not only through the early years of his children’s lives, but through the changing world in which they are growing up—through the changing world of which we are all a part.Above Ground is a breathtaking collection that follows Smith's first award-winning book of poetry, Counting Descent.

  'Parenting is not just about bringing up children. It is about growing up and transforming ourselves to be better human beings. Every parent would do well to get themselves a copy.' 
  - India Today 
  'A simple belief - a happy mother is the best thing for children.' 
  - The Hindu 
  'Alive with anecdotes, distilled theory and authentic empathy - a gift of a book that nudges us gently through a reflective connect with ourselves and our children into the world of life-affirming parenting.' 
  - Gloria Burrett, Psychotherapist, New Delhi 
   
  'I accept and love you the way you are. You are unique, you are different, and you are you. I will not compare you with others, I will not constantly keep expecting and demanding what you might not be able to do or give.' 
  As parents, we foist our dreams and aspirations on our children, push them to be more than we could ever be. But do we have the courage and honesty to look within and ask what drives our parenting - our own needs or those of our children? More crucially, are we able to accept them and respect them for who they are?  
  Child & adolescent psychologist and family therapist Shelja Sen formulates five anchors of parenting to help you connect with the immense wisdom that is already present in you:  
  Connect (create the foundation of parenting);  
  Coach (build the necessary skills in children through an understanding of their unique wiring and temperament);  
  Care (nurture ourselves for a more wholesome life);  
  Community (build caring ecosystems for children to thrive in); and  
  Commit (sustain the courage and compassion).  
  Groundbreaking, essential reading.
