Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Nicole Lapin is back with a sassy and actionable guide empowering women to be the boss of their own lives and careers. You don’t need dozens or hundreds of employees to be a boss, says financial expert and serial entrepreneur Nicole Lapin. Hell, you don’t even need one. You just need to be confident, savvy, and ready to get out there and make your success happen. You need to find your inner Boss Bitch — your most confident, savvy, ambitious self—and own it. A Boss Bitch is the she-ro of her own story. She is someone who takes charge of herself and her future and embraces being a “boss” in all senses of the word: whether as the boss of her own life, a boss at work, or the literal boss of her own company (or all three). Whichever she chooses, being a Boss Bitch isn’t something to apologize for—it’s something to be proud of! We all have what it takes to be a boss bitch, says Lapin. The problem is: we don’t learn how to do it in school. Even if we study business, we’re not getting enough real-deal business education. Until now. Here, Lapin draws on raw and often hilariously real stories from her own career and experiences starting businesses—the good, the bad, and the ugly—to show what it means to be a "boss" in twelve easy steps. In her refreshingly honest and relatable style, she first shows how to embrace the boss-of-you mentality by seizing the power that comes from believing in yourself and expanding your personal skillset. Then she offers candid no-nonsense advice on how to kill it as the boss at work whether you have a high-up role or not. And finally, for those who want to take the plunge as an entrepreneur, she lays out the nuts and bolts of how to be the boss of your own business—from raising money and getting it off the ground to hiring a kickass staff and dealing office drama to turning a profit. Being a rock star in your career is something that should be worn as a badge of honor. Here Lapin shows how to crush it in our careers like like a Boss Bitch!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many areas women have earned the equality we've been fighting for. We've broken through glass ceilings and achieved great success. We've shown that we can prosper by our own means. And we've become influential, respected leaders. Yet many of us find ourselves unhappy, anxious, overwhelmed. Where's the pot of gold at the end of our "I can do it just like a man" rainbow? The problem is that while we can be as successful as a man, we don't get there through a masculine approach. Being a "damsel in distress" is not the way to make your dreams come true, but neither is being the hyper-aggressive Alpha Bitch. In this New York Times bestselling book, transformation leaders Christy Whitman and Rebecca Grado reveal how when women try to claim power through a forceful "take no prisoners" approach it ultimately works against us and undermines our best efforts to create the life of our dreams. In fact, wielding Alpha Bitch force is ironically disempowering, because it introduces conflict, struggle, and competition into our personal and professional relationships, blocking women from creating the life we desire. How do you change from being a controlling, competitive, and disruptive Alpha Bitch to being an Empowered Female who is allowing, collaborative, and balanced? Enter the Laws of the Universe: • The Law of Attraction • The Law of Allowing • The Law of Pure Potentiality • The Law of Oneness • The Law of Balance and Harmony • The Law of Sufficiency and Abundance Taming the Alpha Bitch will show you how to use these laws to create freedom, joy, and abundance in your life. By using this knowledge, you put yourself in the ideal position for attracting those things you want with ease and effortlessness, not struggle and pain.

Download or read book Original Gangstas written by Ben Westhoff and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Raw, authoritative, and unflinching ... An elaborately detailed, darkly surprising, definitive history of the LA gangsta rap era." -- Kirkus, starred review A monumental, revealing narrative history about the legendary group of artists at the forefront of West Coast hip-hop: Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur. Amid rising gang violence, the crack epidemic, and police brutality, a group of unlikely voices cut through the chaos of late 1980s Los Angeles: N.W.A. Led by a drug dealer, a glammed-up producer, and a high school kid, N.W.A gave voice to disenfranchised African Americans across the country. And they quickly redefined pop culture across the world. Their names remain as popular as ever -- Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube. Dre soon joined forces with Suge Knight to create the combustible Death Row Records, which in turn transformed Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur into superstars. Ben Westhoff explores how this group of artists shifted the balance of hip-hop from New York to Los Angeles. He shows how N.W.A.'s shocking success lead to rivalries between members, record labels, and eventually a war between East Coast and West Coast factions. In the process, hip-hop burst into mainstream America at a time of immense social change, and became the most dominant musical movement of the last thirty years. At gangsta rap's peak, two of its biggest names -- Tupac and Biggie Smalls -- were murdered, leaving the surviving artists to forge peace before the genre annihilated itself. Featuring extensive investigative reporting, interviews with the principal players, and dozens of never-before-told stories, Original Gangstas is a groundbreaking addition to the history of popular music.

Download or read book Why does the side piece go harder than the main woman in his relationship written by TJ Clemons and published by TJ Clemons. This book was released on with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a heavily debated topic of conversation in our society. I have written several books about the side chick experience from various different points of view. And now in 2021 the mistress is still relevant because she provides her man with in some cases unlimited access to her love and affection in the physical and emotional form of expression. It is a very intimate and mutually beneficial expression of the feelings that they share together in confidentiality which creates a bond of trust and exclusivity. These types relationships usually go on for many years to the point where his family members may even grow to accept his “other woman” in social circles. She becomes very familiar with his friends and family and in some cases his children. They may even accept her as part of their grooming process and the overall “family experience.” This is often a “complicated” union that has been formed out of sheer necessity.

Download or read book Lifestyle Media in Asia written by Fran Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Asia, consumer culture is increasingly shaping everyday life, with neoliberal economic and social policies increasingly adopted by governments who see their citizens as individualised, sovereign consumers with choices about their lifestyles and identities. One aspect of this development has been the emergence of new wealthy middle classes with lifestyle aspirations shaped by national, regional and global media – especially by a range of new popular lifestyle media, which includes magazines, television and mobile and social media. This book explores how far everyday conceptions and experiences of identity are being transformed by media cultures across the region. It considers a range of different media in different Asian contexts, contrasting how the shaping of lifestyles in Asia differs from similar processes in Western countries, and assessing how the new lifestyle media represents not just a new emergent media culture, but also illustrates wider cultural and social changes in the Asian region.

Download or read book The Mystwalker Series The Complete Collection written by Leigh Evans and published by St. Martin's Paperbacks. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 1330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enter the magical world of the Mystwalker series with the full e-book collection: The Trouble with Fate, The Thing About Weres, The Problem with Promises, and The Danger of Destiny from Leigh Evans. My name is Hedi Peacock and I have a secret. I'm not human, and I have the pointy Fae ears and Were inner-bitch to prove it. As fairy tales go, my childhood was damn near perfect, all fur and magic until a werewolf killed my father and the Fae executed my mother. I've never forgiven either side. The Trouble with Fate Today I'm a half-breed barista working at a fancy coffee house, living with my loopy Aunt Lou and a temperamental amulet named Merry, and wondering where in the world I'm going in life. But when a pack of Weres decides to kidnap my aunt and force me to steal another amulet, the only one who can help me is the last person I ever thought I'd turn to: Robson Trowbridge. He was a part-time werewolf, a full-time bastard, and the first and only boy I ever loved. That is, until he became the prime suspect in my father's death...And he's as annoyingly beautiful as I remember. The Thing About Weres Ever since I shoved Trowbridge through the Gates of Merenwyn, I've been the leader of the Creemore pack-hard to believe, right? The thing is: I'm still half-Fae. To make matters worse, the wolves of Creemore want my blood-and the North American Council of Weres wants me dead. So I'm just counting the days until Trowbridge returns from the other realm...and comes to my brave rescue...and becomes my alpha mate. Wishful thinking? Of course it is. But given all the mess I've been through already, what's the harm in doing a little bit of daisy-plucking? Besides, Trowbridge owes me bigtime. The Problem with Promises The thing is, my past is pretty messy and bad guys keep knocking down my door. Witches, thug bikers, the North American Council of Weres, dark magic Fae, and even an evil wizard are all after me. The Old Mage is the only one I really care about: He has my dear twin brother captive on the other side of the Gates of Merenwyn--not cool. Unfortunately, everyone who helps me ends up in a heap of trouble too--including my Trowbridge. Now, I admit I've had my moments as a shivering coward, hoping he will come to my brave rescue. The whole Prince Charming thing is hard to shake. But these bad guys after me mean business and those damsel in distress days are over. You know that "last straw" metaphor? That was two straws ago. It's now or never. The Danger of Destiny There are very few days off when you're on an epic quest. Believe me, I know. My twin brother is being held captive by the Old Mage in another realm. Lo and behold, as soon as Trowbridge and I arrive in Merenwyn, we're separated in spectacular, dramatic fashion-and I'm left to figure out how to maintain the fragile balance between my Fae magic and my wolf's blood in a realm that cries to both. Not easy, particularly when I'm keeping an iron-grip on my temper so as not to dispatch with extreme prejudice the odd wizard or smart-mouthed mutt servant who crosses my path. My mama never told me there'd be days like these, but I'm not going down without a fight...or my mate.

Download or read book The Nigger in You written by J. W. Wiley and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embrace Leadership to Combat All Forms of PrejudiceIs there a “nigger” in you? If you have attempted to avoid and/or escape oppression, been made to feel as if you are a problem, been treated as “lesser than” or even like a criminal, all just because you are different in a given context, then what Dr. J. W. Wiley asserts through the title of this book inescapably applies to you. Through any of our multiple identities—stereotyped, marginalized, or ostracized by our socio-economic class, level of education, gender, disability, age, race, sexual orientation, or religion—we are all potential victims as well as perpetrators of denigrating language and discrimination. Dr. Wiley borrows the agency of nigger, arguably the quintessential, most universally known term of disparagement of those negatively considered the Other, to re-frame the word as no longer just a racial term but one that symbolizes many of the ways we disrespect or bully one another, are inconsiderate of one another, prejudge one another, and internalize our demonization. He defines the word in a way that demonstrates its equivalence to other dysfunctional language (retard, bitch, fag, trailer trash, etc.) that suggests that those so targeted are unworthy of consideration in our society. By creating a conversation around such language, Dr. Wiley challenges us to recognize that, when we give in to our prejudices and stereotypes, the “nigger in you” is what we are apt to see when we encounter those different from ourselves.The author, who is Director of the Center for Diversity, Pluralism, and Inclusion for the State University of New York–Plattsburg, a Lecturer in Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies, and president of his own consulting business, engages diversity in a uniquely inclusive way and as inseparable from social justice. By dissecting the offensive language we often use, consciously or unconsciously, Dr. Wiley provokes us to recognize that, since every one of us has multiple identities beyond just the color of our skin, it is virtually impossible for most of us not to have felt the sting of oppression, or the power of privilege that some of those same multiple identities may confer on us. Consequently, it is morally incumbent on us to contest and ultimately transcend oppression wherever we encounter it, to respect the humanity of those different from us, and become allies in the war to protect and advance people’s right to be different.Through personal stories, scholarship, poetry, commentary on current affairs, lyrics, and his experiences as a Black man both rooted in African American culture and the culture of the academy who daily has to navigate and negotiate multiple worlds, Dr. Wiley leads us on a journey toward social justice. In doing so, he empowers us—in whatever sphere, private or public, in which we have some agency—to embrace our leadership moments by engaging those who would perpetrate dysfunctional language or behavior, and help create a world in which differences are respected and validated.

Download or read book Daughters of Eve written by Grace Makau and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding gender neutral deficit may be misconstrued, the context is ideal for this day and age. This book is timely, precise and speaks to the generations of women living in today’s world. Since the beginning Eve and her descendants thereof have been the blame for all ills befalling mankind. She’s either too much this or too much of that. The author seeks to explore the ills for generations to come identifying with caution to attempt to bring balance; healing to what’s broken. For generations daughters of mankind were not recognized as part of a system created by their counterparts therefore abided by structures put together by their others. Thanks to the deceitfulness of the male disposition that instituted this conflict of the sexes, perfectionisms, competitions, evaluation and/or appraisals, criticisms and judgments are all fundamental and have been a part of this jumble this book is about for generations. Cultures that were cultivated or instituted appealed to the man, his rights, his powers and his dominance in society but women weren’t allowed or afforded the same privileges and were forced to be subject to powers. I heard a preacher say one time that “conception is a pleasurably sweet process for men yet excruciating for women” – paraphrased - Thompson. Men in many cultures get glory in childbearing leaving out and clouding the drudgery involving these growing pains and labor of love women get exposed to. To this day women are still fighting for recognition, having been “in the dark” for centuries, female genital mutilations still take place in some remote cultures, childhood marriages honored in some religions, economic empowerment in western mores still a hot debate with men earning more than women and a Patriarchal system of government still in place inspired the title “Daughters of Eve” in reflection to the structure in place to recognize the labor intensive processes mothers go through in reproduction, giving the hand that rocks the cradle the honor they deserve.
