Download or read book Finding My Voice written by Valerie Jarrett and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Finalist for the NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding Literary Work" "Valerie has been one of Barack and my closest confidantes for decades... the world would feel a lot better if there were more people like Valerie blazing the trail for the rest of us."--Michelle Obama "The ultimate Obama insider" (The New York Times) and longest-serving senior advisor in the Obama White House shares her journey as a daughter, mother, lawyer, business leader, public servant, and leader in government at a historic moment in American history. When Valerie Jarrett interviewed a promising young lawyer named Michelle Robinson in July 1991 for a job in Chicago city government, neither knew that it was the first step on a path that would end in the White House. Jarrett soon became Michelle and Barack Obama's trusted personal adviser and family confidante; in the White House, she was known as the one who "got" him and helped him engage his public life. Jarrett joined the White House team on January 20, 2009 and departed with the First Family on January 20, 2017, and she was in the room--in the Oval Office, on Air Force One, and everywhere else--when it all happened. No one has as intimate a view of the Obama Years, nor one that reaches back as many decades, as Jarrett shares in Finding My Voice. Born in Iran (where her father, a doctor, sought a better job than he could find in segregated America), Jarrett grew up in Chicago in the 60s as racial and gender barriers were being challenged. A single mother stagnating in corporate law, she found her voice in Harold Washington's historic administration, where she began a remarkable journey, ultimately becoming one of the most visible and influential African-American women of the twenty-first century. From her work ensuring equality for women and girls, advancing civil rights, reforming our criminal justice system, and improving the lives of working families, to the real stories behind some of the most stirring moments of the Obama presidency, Jarrett shares her forthright, optimistic perspective on the importance of leadership and the responsibilities of citizenship in the twenty-first century, inspiring readers to lift their own voices.

Book excerpt: "In 2009, just as Laura Roppe; was poised to burst onto the music scene, her doctor called her with news that left her spinning-she had been diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer. Just a few days earlier, the singer-songwriter had signed a dream-come-true contract with a record label; now, she wasn't even sure how much longer she had to live. Never one to back down to a challenge, however, Roppe; refused to let her fear take control of her life-instead, she gathered her courage, took stock of her priorities, and made a decision: Cancer may take my hair, she told herself, but that's all it's getting. More than a cancer journey, Rocking the Pink is a quirky, charming, and poignant ode to love, friendship, and music. Roppe; is unflinchingly honest and unfailingly funny as she tells the story of her odyssey: from childhood dreamer and giddy valet parker to the Hollywood stars to disillusioned lawyer, wife, and mother; from budding songwriter and late-blooming recording artist to determined cancer survivor. Full of raw emotion and humor that will make you laugh through your tears, Rocking the Pink is a chronicle of discovering one's true self through life's difficult circumstances-and a testament to the hang-in-tough, take-no-prisoners attitude it takes to kick cancer's butt"--

Download or read book He Created Us to Victimize Us written by Cynthia Eisenhart and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true story of a family who endured incest. Although incest is a family bloodline crime, no one could even imagine their father raping his own children, or a mother and homemaker having to survive her own husbands lifetime of damage to their children. As the story unfolds, the mother learns through her children; she was the first victim at the age of fourteen. She was a young country girl who found her way straight through her children and her faith. Dealing with this unspeakable crime, she found herself raising five children on her own in the sixties, which was unheard of back then. Facing her husband in court, with three of her oldest children testifying against him, almost killed her. The only thing she had left was her children and her faith in God. This incest case was the first ever seen in the Baltimore city courthouse. The prosecution and even the judge never heard of such disgusting act from a biological father. This unspoken crime happens daily, but is rarely reported. The families and victims involved are often ashamed. It is difficult for people to admit a family member could do such a disgusting act. It could be like in our casea father, step-father, uncle, cousin, or even an aunt; not all abusers are male. The goal for this book is to raise awareness, help put child molesters and pedophiles behind bars, and change the laws as they are now. We all need to speak up and help stop this sick act. This book seeks to open your eyes on incest and all the pain it causes.
