Book excerpt: Sex worker activists throughout Africa are demanding an end to the criminalization of sex work and the recognition of their human rights to safe working conditions, health and justice services, and lives free from violence and discrimination. To Live Freely in This World is the first book to tell the story of the brave activists at the beating heart of the sex workers’ rights movement in Africa—the newest and most vibrant face of the global sex workers’ rights struggle. African sex worker activists are proving that communities facing human rights abuses are not bereft of agency. They’re challenging politicians, religious fundamentalists, and anti-prostitution advocates; confronting the multiple stigmas that affect the diverse members of their communities; engaging in intersectional movement building with similarly marginalized groups; and participating in the larger global sex workers’ rights struggle in order to determine their social and political fate. By locating this counter-narrative in Africa, To Live Freely in This World challenges disempowering and one-dimensional depictions of “degraded Third World prostitutes” and helps fill what has been a gaping hole in feminist scholarship regarding sex work in the African context. Based on original fieldwork in seven African countries, including Botswana, Kenya, Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda, Chi Adanna Mgbako draws on extensive interviews with over 160 African female and male (cisgender and transgender) sex worker activists, and weaves their voices and experiences into a fascinating, richly-detailed, and powerful examination of the history and continuing activism of this young movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meticulously researched and written by Tony Jeton Selimi, 'The Unfakeable Code®' explores the fierce scientific, psychological and spiritual impact of wearing 'masks', feeling stuck, powerless, out of control, and being a people pleaser, disengaged and unproductive at home and work – a growing problem in an uncertain world affected by the Corona Virus Pandemic which will leave behind a cosmic trail of mental health issues and a significant rise in unemployment. Empowering readers to redefine themselves and overcome the adversity, anxiety and stagnancy likely blighting their lives, Selimi truly breaks new ground in a volume that gives you the clarity, the hope, and the code to continue to evolve into the authentic, unfakeable leader you were born to be. The Unfakeable Code® offers a fresh and robust five-step methodology for business, personal or professional transformation. It assists in upgrading your psychology and harmonising body-mind-heart intelligence so it can deal with any form of anxiety, conflict, and stress. Throughout the book, Tony J. Selimi shares inspiring actual client stories who have used the five-principles to successfully liberate themselves from the emotional baggage and distress by fully completing the five-step method. It's also been a hit among critics, too, with one recently writing, "The worldview developed here transcends science, dogma, and belief, giving readers a new code to reconnect with their true, authentic individual and the Divine within that knows how to take back control, lead authentically and live freely on your terms." Brian Tracy, Author, Chairman and CEO of Brian Tracy International, quotes, "This is an inspiring, enjoyable, fast-moving book that shows you how to unlock your full power for unlimited success." Marie Diamond, Global Transformational Teacher, a star from The Secret, describes it as "A life manual that assists you in understanding how the Law of Attraction works, and it gives you valuable insights into the science of healing and changing your mindset that will transform your existence." The Hon Richard Evans, CEO ACE Modular Construction, depicts it as "A fascinating read and easy to apply to everyday life, and a great book to return to time and time again. The five freedom, experience, and power-enhancing principles will help you build a deeper awareness of all that you are and are not. I recommended it to academics, business owners, leaders, and anyone working in the human development field. Read it cover to cover, over and over, and you too will broaden and deepen the proficiency of your leadership by presenting your most authentic self in every decision you make."

Download or read book Seated with Christ written by Heather Holleman and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray. Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection. Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom. Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us. It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame. Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others. Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table.
