Download or read book Dear Bi Men written by J.R. Yussuf and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unapologetic guide for readers who are Black, masc, and bi—unlearning biphobia, coming out, combatting erasure, and embodying your whole self Through cutting social analysis, personal stories, and need-to-know advice, Dear Bi Men reclaims bi+ visibility in a culture of erasure—and unapologetically centers Blackness in a practical and deeply researched guide to navigating life, work, and relationships as a Black bi+ man. Popular representation of bi and pansexual men is growing, but we’re not there yet: It’s mostly white. It collapses bisexual identity into tired, hypersexualized tropes. And it fails to interrogate the deeply entrenched stereotypes that insist: You’re confused. You just don’t know you’re gay. You’re greedy. You must be great in bed. Author, peer counselor, and creator of #bisexualmenspeak J.R. Yussuf pushes back against these stigmas and misconceptions, exploring how white supremacy reinforces biphobia and dictates what society thinks it means to “be a man.” He contextualizes discourse around queerness and bisexuality within a larger framework that honors readers’ intersecting identities. And he offers deeply practical advice, sharing how to: Unlearn internalized biphobia and homophobia Navigate an increasingly hostile digital landscape Think about coming out: who to tell, why to tell them, and how to do it Fight back against erasure and stigma Navigate sex, dating, partnerships, marriage, friendship, and work Understand your bi+ sexuality through a political lens Process Black bi+ representation Rich with personal narratives, insightful analysis, and practical advice, this book is a powerful resource for Black bi+ men to reclaim their identity, counter biphobia, and get empowered—and an offering to all readers looking to fight back against the erasure and dehumanization wrought by patriarchy.

Download or read book You Your Child in a Changing World written by Erondu S.I Kelechi and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tick, tick says the clock; The clock ticks in seconds, in minutes, hours, then onto days and weeks; from weeks to months and then to years; years pass onto centuries; then to millennia. The journey of man, in the same vein, begins from the fetus; then grows to childhood, a young adult and to a full grown individual. Change transcends from conception to the birth; sometimes it is born daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly but surely it {change} goes on and on. The world changes from the smallest community, continuously like the hand of the clock, sometimes in ways that are unpredictable as to stop the frequency of such a change. The birth and growth of a next generation is paramount and independent of the changes that go on. Therefore, even if the formula for successfully grooming a 3G child in a 3G world may differ, the Principles for breeding a successful and constructive generation should be same regardless of the altitude and magnitude of change - even the methods of application may vary. Serena K. Benson Erondu

Download or read book Aunt Jen written by Paulette Ramsay and published by Hodder Education. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many great and enduring works of literature by Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories, overflowing with life and acute observations about society. Written as a series of letters from the child Sunshine to her absent mother, Aunt Jen traces the changing attitudes of a child entering adulthood as she tries to understand the truth behind her mother's departure, and make sense of her relationship with her family. Aunt Jen migrated to England as part of the Windrush generation, and Sunshine's letters, written in the early 1970s, reveal something of the emotional as well as the physical gulf between those who left and those who remained behind. A companion novel to Letters Home, Aunt Jen is a painfully one-sided correspondence, revealing the complex inheritance we pass on to our children. Suitable for readers aged 14 and above.

Download or read book The Brainless Beauty written by Emmanuel Kelechi Egbugara and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ibos of eastern Nigeria woke up from the ashes of that wicked civil war, where their homeland was the battlefield. They dusted the debris of deliberate wreckage by the federal troops and rejuvenated those into a boisterous renaissance of great commerce (despite losing life savings in the banks via heinous federal policy refunding, only twenty pounds to individuals no matter what one had), education, and industrialization. Thereby, the mass exodus to the developed world of America and Europe provided greener pastures for their resilient spirits and ingenuity. Igwe Uboma is the epitome of this contemporary Iboman, who, by dint of hard work and visionary leadership, became an industrial giant having conglomerate companies and real estates. Although Igwe had promising sons, his heart inclines to his beautiful and elegant daughter Ugomma. She epitomizes the tall dream of her affluent parents. Invariably, she portrays the worlds contemporary youths who are easily influenced negatively by the ever-worsening decadence and depreciating societal values and norms. The lack of strong character contents of youths, carelessness, carefree attitudes, and excessive indulgence into immorality and ungodliness in all ramifications are the results of poor parenting and evil influences. Invariably, life is a school, and all that lives must have stories to tell, either bitter or sweet experiences. But then the lessons we individually learn and apply distinguishes our character and behaviors that rates success or failure when juxtaposing our purposes with reality.
