Foster an environment of love and healing within schools In this groundbreaking book, educator, poet, and activist Dr. Crystal Belle challenges traditional educational practices and offers a new approach to teaching rooted in radical love and social justice. Combining research with personal experiences and interviews, Dr. Belle explores the roots and practical application of a social justice education framework grounded in Critical Race Theory (CRT), heart healing, educator beliefs, and a deep understanding of the structural inequities in education. Features of the book include: Personal narratives and portraiture that highlight the complex human aspects of education Sample social justice lesson planning templates and a social justice oriented curricular map Pedagogical activities that encourage critical thinking and more inclusive classrooms Radical love notes, objectives, reflection prompts, and discussion questions Critical discussion of special education, the school-to-prison pipeline, and the impact educators can have on their students through self-examination Teaching with radical love means looking beyond traditional metrics of a student′s success and utilizing their brilliance, cultural wealth, and intellectual potential to create transformative learning experiences, especially for minoritized children. This innovative approach to social justice education supports educators to teach with care, understanding, and intentional support for the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities of students.
Her Soul Cries (bold & italicized title) was birthed to promote the need for an emotional purging of the soul as a true means for wholeness...In doing so it exposes human nature in its rawest form.

Lighthearted memories are mingled with those that may be more difficult to digest, grasping your attention and arousing your curiosity. This book is written to promote understanding as a replacement for judgment. The writer uses a combination of poetry, prose, random thoughts, teachable statements, and related bible references to create a sense of connection with the reader.
Creative writing is to help many see a brighter way inspired from the heart and soul and many things around us that many people wonder about and feeling the different stages we all go through such as, falling in love and getting hurt, being talked down on and starting to actually look up, being angry because you find no joy, knowing that there's a reason your here but find nothing to live for all of sudden, when everything is good everything can become a struggle, and learning that finding a better way isn't so hard.
Award-winning videomaker, performance artist, and pop-culture provocateur Kip Fulbeck has captivated audiences worldwide with his mixture of high comedy and personal narrative. In Paper Bullets, his first novel, Fulbeck taps into his Cantonese, English, Irish, and Welsh heritage, weaving a fictional autobiography from 27 closely linked stories, essays, and confessions. By turns sensitive and forceful, passionate and callous, Fulbeck confronts the politics of race, sex, and Asian American masculinity head-on without apology, constantly questioning where Hapas fit in a country that ignores multiracial identity. Raised in southern California by a Chinese-born mother and a Caucasian father, Fulbeck pushes the conventions of literary form as he simultaneously draws from, recreates, and fabricates his own life history. His range of experiences--from college professor to youth outreach volunteer, blues player to surfer and lifeguard--informs his witty and humane writing. Like himself, his protagonist is a young man shaped by the conflicting mores, stigmas, desires, and codes of male conduct in America. He searches for and mismanages love and independence, continually experimenting with sex along the way. Sometimes hilarious, always heartfelt, surfing the trivia of pop culture and sound bits, his inner voice shifts continually among the real, the perceived, and the imagined.
“A poet celebrates the wonders of nature in a collection of essays that could almost serve as a coming-of-age memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted—no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape—she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance. “What the peacock can do,” she tells us, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy. Praise for World of Wonders Barnes & Noble 2020 Book of the Year An NPR Best Book of 2020 An Esquire Best Book of 2020 A Publishers Weekly “Big Indie Book of Fall 2020” A BuzzFeed Best Book of Fall 2020 “Hands-down one of the most beautiful books of the year.” —NPR “A timely story about love, identity and belonging.” —New York Times Book Review “A truly wonderous essay collection.” —Roxane Gay, The Audacity
When I wrote this book, all I could think of was how many people it would help. How people would get an understanding as to not only how I went thru it…But how I got thru it as well. Many of my family members don’t know all of my emotions. This book will hopefully shed some light on my feelings during those times. My hope for this book is that it will encourage, uplift, and make you reach inside yourself. See your past and future at the same time. Finally, my hope for this book is that it will reach people regardless of sexuality, religion, and relationship status. We all have love in our hearts, the only issue we have as humans…Is we aren’t all free to express it.
In this extensive collection, 145 practitioners from around the world tell how CranioSacral Therapy, a method of using gentle pressure to evaluate and improve the functioning of the central nervous system, has made a difference in their clients' lives. Beginning with a foreword by the treatment's developer, the book is divided into three main sections with stories about children, adults, and animals. Detailed, first-person accounts of actual CranioSacral interventions illustrate the therapy's efficacy and wide range of applications and the degree to which it complements traditional as well as nontraditional treatments. The book holds appeal not only for CranioSacral practitioners, including osteopaths, chiropractors, naturopaths, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and other body workers, but also for anyone interested in alternative ways to reduce pain and enhance the body's functioning.
