Bowes wrote Reflections of a Trailblazer hoping to encourage readers to confront any personal adversity they might encounter. Her story is one of having the strength to move beyond a marriage breakup, to step out of one’s comfort zone, and to try an entirely different career. This determined woman broke through the barriers of a patriarchal business world, and sought to highlight the importance of human resources in every organization. Readers will relate to Barbara’s open writing style as she shares both personal and career stories, and they will laugh along with her when she reflects on her own many humorous life situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity. Benjamin argues that automation, far from being a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web, has the potential to hide, speed up, and deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to the racism of a previous era. Presenting the concept of the “New Jim Code,” she shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies; by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions; or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Moreover, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a kind of technology, designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice in the architecture of everyday life. This illuminating guide provides conceptual tools for decoding tech promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing so, it challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold but also the ones we ourselves manufacture. Visit the book's free Discussion Guide here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main character of this autobiography is Alma Jackson. She was a Southern Baptist missionary, nurse, and educator to Brazil. As she tells of her journeys, her desire was for others to find the same purpose in life that she did. A reoccurring theme is overcoming timidity, so as to do something spectacular and encourage others to have fun as well as have a purpose. Her methods of achieving this were learned and role-modeled by her large family and the influential friends that she made. This world could use explorers and teachers who dare to dream big and forget to count the costs. Heroes are made of this. Young people are searching for action and romance. They will find it in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever seen a wheelchair bound person with a smile bigger than you’ve smiled all week? Or a child with Down syndrome who is in a perpetual good mood, and you wonder, What’s the magic? Those moments are what make this daily devotional quite different. It is inspired by the words and actions of beautiful individuals with exceptionalities. The voices heard from the pages of this book include children with autism, Down syndrome, and cognition delay, to name a few. The language is simple, pure, refreshingly honest and reflects the author’s experience with this remarkable community which, some consider to be angels among us. This book is one of the first of its kind because it provides children with exceptionalities a limitless platform to teach and inspire. While often this community is encouraged to “change” or “improve,” they are quite perfect just as they are. Chances are if you interact with them, you will walk away in awe of their grounded trust in themselves and others, free of expectations. You will likely have a better day as a result of the interaction. At the center of this book is Drew, who is chronologically 22 years old but intellectually about 7. Every day, Drew passes out handmade rainbows that state, “You’re Special.”His mission is to remind everyone of their inner beauty that makes each individual special and unique. Let’s be eager students of individuals with exceptionalities and their unique experience. They have so much to share, and we have so much to gain! It’s where “special” meets truth—and in truth, there is wisdom. Enjoy your 365 days of reflections and embrace Drew’s purposeful words: “You’re Special.”
