Ijamama is a woman from the urban Hood who is accidentally discovered by a feminist magazine, Hot Heifer, after she stood up to a sexist law that allowed men to be topless in public but not women. A published interview of Ijamama in Hot Heifer magazine leads to her cohosting a feminist, late-night TV show, and eventually getting her own late-night TV show, The Ijamama Tell-It-Like-It-Is Midnight Show, targeted to urban blacks, college students, and working-class women. Although very funny, Ijamama Speaks presents meaningful lessons about rightful living and quality living through dialogues of host Ijamama with her diverse TV guests. Some of her guests include Celibate Dude, Lead Belly, Benevolent Angel, Smart-Ass White Boy, Dr. Fartenstein, PumpDaddy, Spiritual Teacher, Bootylicious Queens, Preacher-Teacher, Little Red Rapper from da Hood, and HoneyBaby.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During these unfortunate times of racial turbulence and the unveiling of devastating societal inequities, such as economic, educational and health disparities, young people require social-emotional guidance to cognitively process what is unraveling around them in their community, country and world. More than ever, it is crucial that young adults of color are provided with the encouragement to understand their individual cultural being, and to facilitate their thinking processes about their stance on social justice issues like Black Lives and school violence. As an African American woman, mother of two successful adult sons, and college professor with 30+ years of experience as a literacy and cultural diversity educator, it is my responsibility to serve as a role model and mentor for young people. Sistah Girl: Step into Your Greatness is written in a unique approach that fuses my three roles into a meaningful, entertaining, and educational experience for young ladies of color. Through my thought-provoking poetry, I aim to reinforce my teen readers’ self-confidence, explore their culture, and empower them to address the injustices that they are passionate as budding social activists. To enhance comprehension, I have incorporated literacy strategies, such as journaling after each poem and end-of-chapter graphic organizers to encourage readers to make intrinsic connections and examine their authentic ideas about real-life topics. Also, inspirational quotes of renown women of color are integrated to further emphasize these relevant concepts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A whip-smart mystery series with a touch of paranormal and much-needed humor, realistic crime-scene drama plays out in each book, including this latest, when a girl goes missing and her brother is wrongfully imprisoned. Only this time, Nick’s brilliant wit and sleuthing skills are seriously tested when he is brought into a world of spiritualists, mediums and ghosts coming back from the dead. In the spirit of Scooby Doo, “is it a ghost or not,” and “those meddling kids,” I highly recommend this series, especially for boys and reluctant readers." -Kim Childress, Book Editor, Girls’ Life Magazine Nick Caden is no stranger to supernatural mysteries and paranormal phenomena. He and his buddies have been TV crime fans for years, which led to Nick solving his first murder case during an Old West ghost town family vacation when it seemed there wasn’t “a ghost of a chance” of catching the killer. His success landed Nick a job as a reporter for The Cool Ghoul Gazette, where he debunks all kinds of crazy, so-called paranormal murders. From uncovering the killer of a vampire, to catching zombies and werewolves, Nick relies on truth, facts, and watching cop and detective shows to solve cases. In Medium Well Done, an all-star basketball player goes missing, her brother has been implicated in a murder, and “Sistah Séance,” a Gullah woman on Georgia’s Sea islands, claims to “bring up the dead. Nick suspects this psychic-spiritualist is somehow involved, but his efforts to uncover the truth is hampered when local police insist he keep his distance from the case. Preferring to work alone, Nick becomes annoyed when Officer Crowder demands he work with Jaz, Crowder’s teen relative, who has a “spiritual gift” that allows her “to know things about the dead.” As the pair work to find Nick’s friend, Keisha, the victim of a hit and run near the entrance to a graveyard, Nick discovers a world of darkness, where “evil thoughts and spirits flourish.” This time, Nick doesn’t have all the answers. But he does ask the right questions. And what he learns is worse than any lies a fake fortuneteller might pass off as truth.
