The study surveyed 2,990 female-identifying respondents within the U.S. How Hair Bias Manifests at WorkĪ 2023 CROWN Workplace Research study found that, despite some progress over the past few years, race-based hair discrimination still remains a widespread issue for Black women in the workplace. and strategies for leaders to mitigate it within their organizations. Here’s a look at the current landscape of hair discrimination in the U.S. Although 20 states have adopted the legislation, hair discrimination is not prohibited at a federal level in the U.S. It provides protections against race-based hair bias, prohibiting discrimination based on hair texture and protective styles including braids, twists, and locs. legislation that’s setting a precedent for other protections is the CROWN Act, which stands for creating a respectful and open world for natural hair. In some areas, legislation is being enacted to counteract the prevalent hair discrimination many people face within workplaces and schools.

‘Albom writes with pure honesty, passion and sensitivity. ‘You cannot fail to be uplifted by this touching story that I will continue to read again and again’ WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT HAVE A LITTLE FAITH We learn that Albom was a reluctant Hebrew school student at the synagogue of Rabbi Albert Lewis. It is as much about these two individuals as it is about Mitch Albom. Have a Little Faith is the result: a book about the indominable strength of the human spirit and the power of genuine connection. Albom’s book is about two individuals who taught him a great deal, his family’s Rabbi, Rabbi Albert Lewis, and Pastor Henry Covington. On Albom’s voyage of discovery he explores forgiveness, doubt and how to endure when the unimaginable happens. Over the course of his exploration, he is compelled to consider life’s biggest questions. With those words, Mitch Albom begins a remarkable eight-year journey to honour the request of a beloved rabbi.įeeling unworthy of such a responsibility, Albom sets out to know the man better and unexpectedly finds himself drawn to two seemingly disparate worlds: Christian and Jewish, African-American and white, impoverished and well-to-do. ‘Mitch Albom sees the magical in the ordinary’ Cecilia Ahern FROM THE MASTER STORYTELLER WHOSE BOOKS HAVE TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF OVER 40 MILLION READERS □ – Without giving any spoilers, I really enjoyed that an ‘office romance’ wasn’t made into a taboo ordeal in this book! KUDOS!! That aspect has been WAAYYYYY played out. I have never delved fully into M/M/F concept but by the end of this novel the idea was edible beyond belief. □ – The concept I love MOST about Miss West’s writing is the ability to have the reader accept just about any fantasy she develops within the storyline. □ – LOVED □ how the different personalities also cross over into how different they are sexually in the bedroom as well. This aspect separates Miss West from the other less distinguished authors in the community. □ – Character development is on point! Starting with the 3 main characters and then each of the supporting characters which leads to real depth in the story. This is an amazing, steamy M/M/F with a HEA that isn’t unbelievable and definitely provides cheeky banter throughout. Definitely making her in my top 3 favorite erotica authors! It’s not the first time Jade West has pulled off a 5-Star novel and I am sure it won’t be her last I fall in love with. In other words, it was a regular June night out on the town for trans and queer folks in 1969 New York City.Īs the legend goes, that night the cops did not receive their payoff or they wanted to remind the patrons of their precarious existence. The police entered, began examining everyone’s IDs, and lined up the trans/gender-non-conforming folks to be “checked” by an officer in the restroom to ensure that they were wearing the legally mandated three pieces of “gender appropriate clothing.” Simultaneously the cops started roughing up people, dragging them out front to the awaiting paddy wag- on.

In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines Caesar as military leader, all of these roles and places his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C. In the introduction to his biography of the great Roman emperor, Adrian Goldsworthy writes, "Caesar was at times many things, including a fugitive, prisoner, rising politician, army leader, legal advocate, rebel, dictator. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some two thousand years later. Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of the great Roman emperor's life, Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor's accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters during which he was high priest of an exotic cult, captive of pirates, seducer not only of Cleopatra but also of the wives of his two main political rivals, and rebel condemned by his own country.

During these years he occasionally used two further pseudonyms, Richard Storey in 1943 and Dudley Dell in 1951. He was later assistant to Mort Weisinger on the magazines Captain Future, Startling Stories and Thrilling Wonder Stories (1939-1941), from which he moved on to true-detective magazines, Comics and radio scripts. After a hiatus, he returned to the magazine under his own name with "A Matter of Form" (December 1938 Astounding), becoming a regular contributor to Unknown with such stories as "Trouble with Water" (March 1939 Unknown), an enjoyable humorous tale of Magic. During this early period he used two pseudonyms, Campbell (five stories in Astounding) and Leigh Keith (one story in Astounding), a gambit necessitated, he has said, by antisemitism on the part of the publishers. Gold began to publish work of genre interest with "Inflexure" for Astounding in October 1934 as by Clyde Crane Campbell, selling several stories to that market, and to its sister Unknown, notably None But Lucifer (September 1939 Unknown 2003) with L Sprague de Camp, in which a man tries to outwit Lucifer in the heart of the Great Depression.

Ostensibly it is a novel about a mother/daughter relationship and the nature of family. That is the frame for the story, and the starting point for Lucy to recount various other scenes in her life that are relevant and or in some way related to this time or this visit from her mother. They talked mostly about people they used to know, gossiping and laughing. Her mother, who she had not seen for years, came to visit her and stayed for five days. Our narrator Lucy is looking back at her life and recounts the time she spent in hospital in the mid 1980s. My fiance’s mother gave me her copy to read, and I had high hopes. Almost every review I have read (both in newspapers/magazines and online) has been favourable, mentioning the beauty of the writing and the emotional depth of the story. My Name is Lucy Barton has been included on the longlist for the Man Booker Prize 2016, and so understandably it’s quite popular at the moment generating a bit of hype. |
