How many times have you woken up questioning how your relationship got to this point? In your mind and heart, you are convinced this is what makes you a good person. But at the same time, you have reached a point where you no longer recognize that person you thought you were. Statistics show that 64% of people have experienced at least one form of emotional, verbal, physical, or coercion abuse in a relationship. Yet in a world that prompts toxic positivity over emotional validation, we don’t talk about it.

Publisher's summary
Racial profiling. Queer unacceptance. Deportation fears.
Exclusion, exclusion, exclusion... When a pair of dedicated educators begin to grow disillusioned with the failures of the traditional education system, they decide to take matters into their own hands...
Cue, Diversity Dawn Academy!
It is a day like any other in Ridgeview City, California—and to Benjamin Diamonds and Sarah Mitchell, that's not okay.
Combined decades worth of experience in the academe have shown them the things only students of marginalized groups have gone through: oppression, slurs, name-calling, beatings, and ostracization, all on account of things beyond their control. For the longest time, they felt the need to correct the situation but had no idea how to go about it...
Until a chance encounter unites Benjamin and Sarah, and everything changes. For the first time, they meet someone who shares their hunger for reform, enkindling a fire in their hearts.
Following a long, weary process laced with skepticism, harsh words, and communal backlash, they successfully establish an alternative education program. They encounter ups and downs, thicks and thins, but Diversity Dawn Academy and its students rise above them against all odds!
And as for Benjamin and Sarah, the unspoken feelings brewing between them soon become clear...

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week's meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts' predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight.

When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

A MUST-HAVE!!
This is a heartfelt narrative that tackles pressing social issues like racial profiling, queer unacceptance, and deportation fears through the lens of two dedicated educators, Benjamin Diamonds and Sarah Mitchell. Disillusioned by the failures of the traditional education system, these educators are driven by their shared experiences and desire for reform. The story beautifully captures their journey of establishing an alternative education program in Ridgeview City, California, to create a safe and inclusive environment for marginalized students.
Despite facing skepticism, harsh criticism, and community backlash, the duo perseveres, illustrating the resilience required to challenge systemic injustices. The story not only highlights the triumphs and struggles of building the academy but also subtly weaves in a romantic subplot as the bond between Benjamin and Sarah grows stronger. With a powerful message of hope and change, it underscores the importance of advocacy, allyship, and the impact of education in fostering social justice.

Powerful!
This story of Benjamin and Sarah is so moving. The topics covered here are relevant and deep-exclusion and hate. When these two set their minds to creating an academy to teach against these principals, it gets emotional. Our system is definitely broken and this listen takes you down a new world of possibilities to be better,
