Open. Sincere. Honest. Unfiltered.In early June of 2020, many of us found ourselves unable to sleep ... unable to function normally ... unable to comprehend that once again, a black man found himself unable to breathe and ultimately met his demise at the hands of the police. You may have also found yourself in a state of shock and wanting to do something. The contributors to A Collective Breath: Stories of Being Black in America and Visions of Change found themselves in similar positions.Their candid, personal thoughts and feelings reveal the many challenges that blacks face in America today-challenges they may not directly divulge to others but that are part of their realities, and they offer ideas for solutions and actions to pave the way to a more optimistic future.Consisting of a wide variety of blacks who are well-educated; who are community leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals; and who are involved with their families and religious organizations, the contributors tell of what it is like to be black in America. In A Collective Breath, the contributors do not hold back.They take a collective breath -- the breaths that George Floyd, Manuel Ellis, Javier Ambler, Eric Garner, and so many others could not take -- to document for the world how they feel in this moment; the lenses through which they, as blacks in America, view and live their lives; and what they believe needs to change today for a different tomorrow.

Millennials: The So-Called Entitled Generation is an informative book on one of the world''s most controversial generations. The author, Delano Perry, a millennial himself, details the everyday challenges of being considered entitled and narcissistic. He sheds light on many questionable labels and stereotypes in a world where many of the older millennials do not consider themselves millennials and are often confused about the age range of the millennials. They tend to attack younger millennials while members of the older generations criticize them as well.This book explores many of the issues that millennials face such as being known as the broken or lost generation due to the financial setbacks that were caused in the midst of the Great Recession; massive amounts of student debt; and how they have abandoned many of the old ways of thinking about religion, marriage, education, and company structure. Millennials explores how they are one of the most depressed, addicted, and unhealthiest generations despite being so young and vibrant.Much of the work was written based on firsthand experiences and research conducted by Perry. The goal is to not only educate those from different generations of the stereotypes and misinformation but also the millennials themselves, especially those who are thirty and older. The writing is controversial and biased at times but still informative and firm in a world where the word "millennial" has become somewhat of an offensive term. We must begin to shed like on the fact that this is a group of young people who have spent the last decade on an uphill battle with themselves, society, and the economy.
