Download or read book The Black Babylon America written by Charlie Williams and published by Charlie Williams. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America, Babylon is often used as a metaphorical term referring to a city or a cultural phenomenon that represents excessive materialism, corruption, or moral decay; it is derived from the ancient city of Babylon in Mesopotamia known for opulence and decadence. In American literature and popular culture, Babylon is sometimes used to describe cities like New York or Las Vegas, which are seen as centers of commercialism, consumerism, and superficiality. It can also be used more broadly to critique societal values and the influence of money and power. Let us build our Black Babylon right here in America; we (Black people) are already a popular culture that everyone tries to mimic our music, style, and skin color. Every state in America has Black people living in Babylon, for which they have no power. So, let me tell you series of true short stories about my life that involve the history and plight of black people. Self-improvement, true crime, politics, economics, spirituality, and religion. I’ve heard Black folks always talking about being Kings and Queens in Africa. Well, we all weren’t Kings and Queens and I really never believed in royalty in any race, who decided their blood was royal. I’m just looking for Black excellence. The things I went through are how it was, and in some form or fashion still is; by the end of this book, I hope you can see how it should be in a Black Babylon filled with Black excellence. You can’t be free by yourself, and no amount of money will make you free without us all being free. I now know and understand how we can build our own power base right here in America. Then and only then will we be free. Just me being me Black, proud, and determined to be free. Bro Will Babylon Philly

But as the owner of one of the largest private security forces in the country, he’s got plenty to keep him busy until he finds ‘the one.’ After spending the last year dealing with the fallout of his best security agents falling for their clients, the last thing Jackson expects is to take one look at feisty camboy, Dayton Daniels, and almost instantly know that he’s it for him. DAYTON DANIELS has been on his own since he was just fourteen years old. He’s spent his entire life scraping by, doing whatever’s necessary to survive. A severe learning disability has left Day unable to read and forced him to find creative ways to make a living. Camming allows him to earn money while keeping his clients at a distance, and Day has grown used to keeping everybody at a distance...until he witnesses a murder and Jackson Avery walks into his life. Guarding Day is supposed to be a favor, a simple off the books job until they find out who killed a prominent attorney, but Jackson quickly realizes there is nothing simple about Day. He’s beautiful, smart, surprising, and Jackson is all in merely ten minutes after they meet. But Day, he can’t imagine a man like Jackson wanting to spend his life with somebody like him, and he is determined to do anything to send Jackson running in the opposite direction, no matter how much it hurts. When Day starts receiving threatening emails, Jackson enlists his team to hunt down the killer. Day doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life living in fear, but every day he’s with Jackson, he falls a little harder, forming cracks in the walls he’s worked so hard to build up around himself.

Download or read book The Conference on Beautiful Moments written by Richard Burgin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chicago Tribune has called Richard Burgin “among our finest artists of love at its most desperate,” a critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer dubbed him “one of America’s most distinctive storytellers . . . I can think of no one else of his generation who reports the contemporary war between the sexes with more devastating wit and accuracy.” Through an extraordinarily vivid and variegated set of characters, The Conference on Beautiful Moments, Burgin’s sixth collection of stories, continues his daringly dark yet often humorous exploration of these themes, as well as our mysterious quest for truth, success, and identity. In the gently satiric “Jonathan and Lillian,” a movie star throws a dinner party with very different meanings for her biographer, her butler and ex-lover, and herself. In “Cruise,” an aging straight man befriends a young gay man. Together they meet on their cruise ship’s deck to confess to each other “the worst thing they have ever done.” In the title story, a journalist sent to investigate a conference formerly devoted to discussing beauty in the arts discovers it has turned into something considerably more sinister. In The Conference on Beautiful Moments, Burgin writes with equal compassion and insight about the homeless and the wealthy, prostitutes and businessmen, an autistic child and an art forger. His characters are masterfully illuminated by their interior narratives, which burst sharply into conversations at once intimate and calculated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you were riveted by the Netflix documentary Untold: Deal with the Devil, find out Christy Martin’s whole story in this fascinating autobiography. Boxing legend Christy Martin was a trailblazer in the ring and continues to be an inspiration to female fighters across the globe. She is without a doubt the most important woman in the history of female combat sports. But behind the scenes Martin was in a losing battle, unable to express her true sexual identity and struggling to survive sexual and domestic abuse at the hands of her husband. In Fighting for Survival: My Journey through Boxing Fame, Abuse, Murder, and Resurrection, Christy Martin recounts her harrowing yet inspiring story. Growing up in a small town in West Virginia, Martin felt forced to keep her sexual orientation hidden to please her family and the sports world, eventually agreeing to a sham marriage with coach Jim Martin. While she rose to prominence in the world of boxing, Martin was secretly contending with substance abuse, domestic violence, and an attempted murder by her husband, who left her to die on their bedroom floor. Fighting for Survival reveals how Martin battled back to life from her near-death experience, how she overcame abuse, violence, addiction, and 40 years of living in the closet, and how she turned her pain into victory and debasement into triumph. Her story is one of hope and self-belief, an inspiration for anyone struggling to break the chain of abuse or who fears to be open about their sexual orientation. It is more than the story of a boxing champion; it is the story of a survivor.
