Game Changer
Life is a game and we all are players. Some may be unaware of their role in the game and may in fact be oblivious to the game being played. You are either a player or you are been played. There is no room for spectators in a platform that is made for conquest. The terrain is fierce, brutal and unforgiving. But it is still a game and only those who understand the rules can get in the game, stay in the game and be on top of the game. Game Changer is a body of work that chronicles the major themes in the life of the author, a first generation immigrant and the first Nigerian American to be elected into political office in South Florida. A must read, the book provides an introspection for others...
Curriculum Violence
This book examines the historical context of African Americans' educational experiences, and it provides information that helps to assess the dominant discourse on education, which emphasises White middle-class cultural values and standardisation of students' outcomes. Curriculum violence is defined as the deliberate manipulation of academic programming in a manner that ignores or compromises the intellectual and psychological well being of learners. Related to this are the issues of assessment and the current focus on high-stakes standardised testing in schools, where most teachers are forced to teach for the test.
Word Is Enough
If you've never heard from God, don't believe God speaks or ambivalent about conventional patterns for discerning His voice, this book will change your mind and awaken a consciousness in the act of listening to the voice of God.

In this compact, insightful and revealing text Word is Enough, couples Shannan and Erhabor who have spent over two decades in ministry and pastoral counseling expound on biblical truths and help guide readers through a three dimensional spiritual lens for understanding God's purpose in our lives. God's word is final, non-negotiable and will alw...

What a Man
Dr. Robert Ingram was a remarkable leader. He had the ability to make everyone want to model his leadership. During his lifetime he wore many hats. In his private life, his various professional positions and his extensive public service, he led with his strong character and extraordinary charisma. One memorable initiative that I most cherish was his ""Read-To-Lead"" program. Dr. Ingram believed that improving reading skills was paramount to improving student performance. ""Read-To-Lead is one of the many legacies that Dr. Ingram left South Florida. -Roger Cuevas (Former Superintendent Miami Dade Schools) Robert Ingram devoted his life to the enlightenment and enrichment of the minds of young people. He was a clergyman, intellect, public servant, and a gifted leader who was especially revered by those who were the least loved among us. -George F. Knox (FormerCity of Miami Attorney) This is a man who cared fiercely about justice and fairness...who fought for a community and a country that would have a real commitment to children-all children. -David Lawrence Jr. (President/The Early Childhood Initiative Foundation & Former Chairperson The Children's Trust)

Reading, Writing, and Racism
An examination of how curriculum choices can perpetuate White supremacy, and radical strategies for how schools and teacher education programs can disrupt and transform racism in education When racist curriculum “goes viral” on social media, it is typically dismissed as an isolated incident from a “bad” teacher. Educator Bree Picower, however, holds that racist curriculum isn’t an anomaly. It’s a systemic problem that reflects how Whiteness is embedded and reproduced in education. In Reading, Writing, and Racism, Picower argues that White teachers must reframe their understanding about race in order to advance racial justice and that this must begin in teacher education programs....
Still Not Equal
Still Not Equal: Expanding Educational Opportunity in Society addresses the successes and failures of Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as the continuing challenge of expanding educational opportunity in the United States and across the Black diaspora. The educational, political, and social influence resulting from Brown, the Civil Rights Act, and their progeny have shaped the dynamics of the collective educational and social experiences of people of color. Notwithstanding, the obstacles, barriers, and enablers of educational, occupational, and economic status outcomes impact the formation and interpretation of public policy, specifically, and public perce...
Enacting Anti-Racist and Activist Pedagogies in Teacher Education Canadian Perspectives
Enacting Anti-Racist and Activist Pedagogies in Teacher Education is a timely edited collection that examines the complexities, challenges, spaces of resistance, and possibilities when faculty—specifically Black, Indigenous, and racialized faculty—advocate and implement anti racism approaches and pedagogies in Canadian teacher education programs. Taking an explicitly critical anti-racist approach, the text challenges the pedagogical, curricular, structural, and institutional underpinnings in teacher education framed by whiteness. As a collective, the chapters explore how to disrupt white normalcy by dismantling the hierarchies in place and unpacking intersectionalities, positionalities, ...
