From rediscovering an ancestral village in China to experiencing the realities of American life as a Nigerian, the search for belonging crosses borders and generations. Selected from the archives of Catapult magazine, the essays in A Map Is Only One Story highlight the human side of immigration policies and polarized rhetoric, as twenty writers share provocative personal stories of existing between languages and cultures.
Victoria Blanco relates how those with family in both El Paso and Ciudad Ju rez experience life on the border. Nina Li Coomes recalls the heroines of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki and what they taught her about her bicultural identity. Nur Nasreen Ibrahim details her grandfather's crossing of the India-Pakistan border sixty years after Partition. Krystal A. Sital writes of how undocumented status in the United States can impact love and relationships. Porochista Khakpour describes the challenges in writing (and rewriting) Iranian America. Through the power of personal narratives, as told by both emerging and established writers, A Map Is Only One Story offers a new definition of home in the twenty-first century.

Synergy and Commonality - 'the key to success' is a timeless, universal, motivational and selfimprovement book that aim to inspire and uplift you. Growing up, my parents (now in blessed memory) oft en told stories to highlight the points that they were making. Much of the documented history was passed down verbally for thousands of years in the form of storytelling, teaching each successive generation the secrets to overcoming challenges. This book takes a similar approach. It explores the power of synergy and commonality between people and how we can support each other to find opportunities for success. Almost all great personalities like athletes as an example have one thing in common - they invest a significant portion of their ti me and energy practicing and perfecting their skills. It is through the training process that they grow stronger while they explore and understand their limits. Each obstacle presents an opportunity for them to re-assess their efforts and refine their approach to overcoming barriers. It is through this effort that they begin to unlock hidden talents within themselves. However, despite all their hard work and effort, one thing is true. The greatest athletes in the world were unable to achieve dominance in their chosen field without the guidance of a coach, who is filled with the practical experience, expertise, and lessons learned over ti me to help take the individual to the next level. This book aims to be just that. There is nothing new under the sun. Since the dawn of ti me, man has attempted to be better at something and was met with one of two conclusions, failure or success. Over the last eight years, the author, has tediously studied and documented examples from those who have achieved significant success and from those who have failed and thoughtfully extracted practical examples to help you grow personally and professionally, as this book distills the key lessons for you for success. You can call this book the "Moses" of modern day, transforming the way you think. It will lead you through life's bridges, and provide solutions needed for survival. The recipe for success is the same regardless of your profession, gender, nationality, parents, social class or the school attended; we all need one another to push forward. The author determined the power of diversity and how it exists purposely to complete a story in your life. This is for people seeking practical wisdom in this modern world, or at crossroads and do not know what to do professionally or personally, or need the inspiration and encouragement to sail in life. This book is your coach, use it wisely And if you benefit from it, share it; it's the human thing to do

An exploration of the Caribbean identity through the work of 10 contemporary artists
The legacy of European colonialism in the Caribbean is explored through the work of 10 contemporary artists: Angel Otero, Adler Guerrier, Phillip Thomas, Leonardo Benzant, Lucia Hierro, Lavar Munroe, Andrea Chung, Ebony Patterson, Didier William, and Firelei Bez. Their work is inspired by products that have historically been produced in and exported from the Caribbean. The book, published to accompany a traveling exhibition opening at San Francisco's Museum of the African Diaspora, explores the complexity of the ';postcolonialism paradox'in which colonizers often felt superior and productive as they claimed territory for themselves while subjugating indigenous people and exploiting their land.
Whether connected to the Caribbean by birth or by choice, the artists use their work as a means of examining the relationships within the power structure.

We see the abuse. We hear the cries and screams. We're on the run with the victim. And although we never volunteered to play, we're often dealt a bad hand in the game. We're overlooked and mislabeled, and we suffer in silence. We cry ourselves to sleep and have nightmares about the flashbacks. As adults, we self-medicate to ease the pains of our troubled pasts. We are the children in domestic violence homes. We are the Forgotten. Millions of children worldwide are exposed to domestic violence every year, and over forty million adults grew up in homes plagued by the epidemic. Tiffany Mensah is one of the statistics and brings to life a real and raw perspective of the effects of growing up in a violent home.
Though successful in academia and her career, Tiffany's childhood trauma was bleeding into her promising future. As she tried and failed to suppress the memories and refused to address the trauma, she was met with dead ends, further wounding her spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. But the cards she was dealt didn't take her out of the game. Tiffany's healing and spiritual journey from the storms of her past to the restorative calm of her present propelled her into her life's purpose--to let you know that you aren't Forgotten.
