Download or read book Survive Advance written by Tianna Bartoletta and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Survive and Advance" is a tournament strategy athletes employ to advance through the rounds. Whenever possible, athletes will attempt to advance to the next round without expending too much energy. The theory is that their best performance should come at the championships, in the final round, where the medals and titles are decided. To Tianna Bartoletta, the "Survive and Advance" strategy is effective away from the field of play as well. To her, it means doing whatever is needed to survive life...moment to moment, to get to tomorrow to fight another day. Tianna is defiance personified. Defiant of gravity, and defiant in the face of adversity. This revealing memoir by 3-time world champion, 2-time Olympian, and 3-time Olympic gold medalist Tianna Bartoletta, chronicles her drive to become an elite athlete and her climb to the top of her game...what you knew about her-and what you didn't-until now. You may think you know what it means to be a champion, but you're about to find out that you had no idea.

Download or read book Becoming Black Political Subjects written by Tianna Paschel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of denying racism and underplaying cultural diversity, Latin American states began adopting transformative ethno-racial legislation in the late 1980s. In addition to symbolic recognition of indigenous peoples and black populations, governments in the region created a more pluralistic model of citizenship and made significant reforms in the areas of land, health, education, and development policy. Becoming Black Political Subjects explores this shift from color blindness to ethno-racial legislation in two of the most important cases in the region: Colombia and Brazil. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research, Tianna Paschel shows how, over a short period, black movements and their claims went from being marginalized to become institutionalized into the law, state bureaucracies, and mainstream politics. The strategic actions of a small group of black activists—working in the context of domestic unrest and the international community's growing interest in ethno-racial issues—successfully brought about change. Paschel also examines the consequences of these reforms, including the institutionalization of certain ideas of blackness, the reconfiguration of black movement organizations, and the unmaking of black rights in the face of reactionary movements. Becoming Black Political Subjects offers important insights into the changing landscape of race and Latin American politics and provokes readers to adopt a more transnational and flexible understanding of social movements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No way. This is way too personal for me to go out and publish," I told my sister. "Why not? You don't know how many people would pay to read about real-life drama," she said. So I contemplated it, and here we are. Writing about my early life helped me process a lot mentally and grow, and I'm hoping it also helps others know it's okay to speak about mental health and abuse and share with others the things you stored in your mind. Growing up with all these obstacles helped me learn that there's more for us and you never know what someone is going through. I've always wanted to publish books, so this is basically where I am starting. Yes, this book may be dark or funny or dramatic. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.

Download or read book The Black River written by Jovon Scott and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Black River" is a work of fiction, a psychological thriller to be exact. The fact that it could have happened is not that farfetched. Any time we delve into the mysteries of the human mind, we marvel at our saneness. After all, the human brain has over 100 billion nerve cells called neurons that communicate with other neurons through a substance called neuro-transmitters. This enables us to do all of the things that we consider humanly possible -- drink a cup of coffee, climb a mountain, or if we're one of the lucky ones, calculate the size of the universe. It is here where sanity and insanity are controlled by DNA, life experiences, medication, street drugs, sex, and fate. The human brain serves as a hotbed for the characters. The main character is Dr. Tianna Smith, a psychologist who suffers from a serious mental illness. Each character is pictured as a sane individual with the typical social interactions that humans face. As the story develops, the secrets will gradually unfold, providing the reader with a clear understanding of where we are headed.
