An inside look at how women athletes are leading the fight for equality—on and off the field Women’s sports receive a fraction of the airtime allotted for men’s sports, as well as a fraction of the marketing dollars, media coverage, and training resources. For every dollar that the NBA’s highest-paid player brings home, the WNBA’s highest-paid player earns just half a cent. But while misogyny in sports is particularly visible, it’s not unique. Women athletes face the same sexist barriers found in all career fields: the motherhood penalty, transphobia and misogynoir, underpromotion, and more. But women in sports are fighting back, debunking myths that women aren’t as skilled, competitive, or capable of generating revenue as men. Drawing on exclusive interviews with prominent athletes—including Allyson Felix, Megan Rapinoe, and Billie Jean King—journalist Macaela Mackenzie shows how women are using sports as a platform for change. As women athletes push for the same things all women want in their careers—money, power, and respect—their wins are showing the rest of us what’s possible in the fight for equality.

This publishment took 20 years to write and 10 years to start, so it's really a bargain buy. I have seen my nieces and nephews grow and my mother pass away while writing this book. I've thrown my brain at it and some of that time was spent in recursion, and some of it was showing it to other people whom had little or nothing to say about it except to comment that Life is more complicated than that, if they said anything at all. Mostly, this could have been simply diagrams as they are the main thrust and unlocked with simple Venn gate logic and a simple understanding of addition with a healthy dose of what it means to be. Life is complicated, I get that. Life is also simple, I get that. And with understanding the multiple realities we exist within, the playing field of life becomes abundantly clear that everything is a game if it doesn't free us from oppression, give liberty in what we do, and bring us Justice. Fusionpower isour possibilityandpromise that we've inherited, that we did not earn.

Personas of a Project II By: J. Wiggins aka Official Personas of a Project II is a book of poems, quotes to live by, AOLs (Analogies of Life), and illustrations that encompasses Official’s life and imagination in an artistically and purposely designed manner, or as he puts it in one of the enclosed pieces, “It’s like an intricate exhibit astronomically presented in a manner exquisite by my nature as intended.” The subtitle of this book, “Ennoblement of the Diary,” symbolizes a rise to noble rank, an upgrade, so to speak. This book is a testament to that statement as far as his writing and understanding of life.
