Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t miss the inspirational biography behind the exciting new Lifetime movie Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, starring Alexandra Shipp as the extraordinary singer Aaliyah. Aaliyah Dana Haughton was that music business rarity: a teen idol who transformed herself into a critically acclaimed hip-hop soul artist, a singer who successfully made the transition to actress, and a beautiful woman who never let the trappings of celebrity go to her head. Following her impressive debut at age fourteen with the album Age Ain’t Nothin’ but a Number, Aaliyah raised the bar with her hugely influential and bestselling follow-up, One in a Million. She then took her talents to Hollywood, starring in the action thriller Romeo Must Die and the highly anticipated horror film The Queen of the Damned. But soon after the release of her third album in the summer of 2001, Aaliyah’s life was cut short in a tragic plane crash. Here is the inspirational story of the star The Washington Post dubbed “Hip-Hop’s Lady Di”—a woman who, by the time of her death at age twenty-two, touched legions of fans around the world with her haunting voice and gentle spirit.

Download or read book A Little Lynched written by Aleah Holland and published by . This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a Brooklyn, New York domestic violence judge that was supposed to protect Aleah and her children stole her toddler son and gave sole custody to a drug addicted, alcoholic, and abuser, Aleah did not know what to do. It is indescribable and something out of the 'Twilight Zone' what she went through.In 2011 Aleah was ordered into this domestic violence court to address the crimes being committed on her and her children by her scorned ex-boyfriend who she shared a son with. After being assaulted and battered by this drug addict with a history of beating women and children unbeknownst to Aleah. She thought she would finally be safe if she went through the domestic violence system, which she avoided for over 3 years. However, once court-ordered into the domestic violence system her life was turned upside-down. She thought the abuse would stop. Aleah thought the harassment would stop, she thought stalking would stop, she thought the assaults on her children would stop, however, things became a million times worse than any normal human-being that believe and trust the justice system could ever imagine, pure evil.The judge, her 3 year-old son's lawyer and New York City Administration for Children Services aka ACS teamed up with Aleah's abuser against her and her children. This seemed to be the common policy, practice, and crime manipulating law for millions of domestic violence victims enslaved in this system Aleah would soon discover. They treated her and her children abuser as if he was their coworker and stole her child away from her, threatened arrest and jail if she tried to contact her child. Aleah discovered over the last twenty years these "Crime-Custody- Bait & Switch" courts have been silencing women and stealing their children under the guise of protection, safety, and best interest of the child. It is estimated that over 2 million children have been abducted by court orders and removed from their loving, caring, safe mothers to a life sentence with a rapist, abusers, pedophile or sociopaths that these secret circus courts are REBRANDING as good dads and protecting them too. All across America, for kicks and lucrative kickbacks judges, lawyers, ACS, CPS, mental health professionals, and so many others are profiting and benefiting from this crime-manipulating industry that is intentionally allowing torture, torment, abuse, rapes, maltreatment, and gross-harmful negligence against mothers and their children in these fake family court and domestic violence court proceedings. I wanted to share my story and let mothers, victims, and children know, "what is going on in these courts is pure evil, and there are good humans fighting for them." As Aleah continues to fall down the domestic violence-family court rabbit-hole more books will unfold. Aleas is working to help free children and mothers from this enslaving and vicious domestic violence system.

Download or read book Dougla in the Twenty First Century written by Sue Ann Barratt and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity is often fraught for multiracial Douglas, people of both South Asian and African descent in the Caribbean. In this groundbreaking volume, Sue Ann Barratt and Aleah N. Ranjitsingh explore the particular meanings of a Dougla identity and examine Dougla maneuverability both at home and in the diaspora. The authors scrutinize the perception of Douglaness over time, contemporary Dougla negotiations of social demands, their expansion of ethnicity as an intersectional identity, and the experiences of Douglas within the diaspora outside the Caribbean. Through an examination of how Douglas experience their claim to multiracialism and how ethnic identity may be enforced or interrupted, the authors firmly situate this analysis in ongoing debates about multiracial identity. Based on interviews with over one hundred Douglas, Barratt and Ranjitsingh explore the multiple subjectivities Douglas express, confirm, challenge, negotiate, and add to prevailing understandings. Contemplating this, Dougla in the Twenty-First Century adds to the global discourse of multiethnic identity and how it impacts living both in the Caribbean, where it is easily recognizable, and in the diaspora, where the Dougla remains a largely unacknowledged designation. This book deliberately expands the conversation beyond the limits of biraciality and the Black/white binary and contributes nuance to current interpretations of the lives of multiracial people by introducing Douglas as they carve out their lives in the Caribbean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Impossible not to love.” —Rachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Five Feet Apart A wedding harpist disillusioned with love and a hopeless romantic cater-waiter flirt and fight their way through a summer of weddings in this effervescent romantic comedy from the acclaimed author of Today Tonight Tomorrow. Quinn Berkowitz and Tarek Mansour’s families have been in business together for years: Quinn’s parents are wedding planners, and Tarek’s own a catering company. At the end of last summer, Quinn confessed her crush on him in the form of a rambling email—and then he left for college without a response. Quinn has been dreading seeing him again almost as much as she dreads another summer playing the harp for her parents’ weddings. When he shows up at the first wedding of the summer, looking cuter than ever after a year apart, they clash immediately. Tarek’s always loved the grand gestures in weddings—the flashier, the better—while Quinn can’t see them as anything but fake. Even as they can’t seem to have one civil conversation, Quinn’s thrown together with Tarek wedding after wedding, from performing a daring cake rescue to filling in for a missing bridesmaid and groomsman. Quinn can’t deny her feelings for him are still there, especially after she learns the truth about his silence, opens up about her own fears, and begins learning the art of harp-making from an enigmatic teacher. Maybe love isn’t the enemy after all—and maybe allowing herself to fall is the most honest thing Quinn’s ever done.
