Without an education or any real options, she found herself being lured into the sex industry by the promise of big money and the validation of strangers. She turned to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain of day-to-day life as a callgirl and overcome the emotional scars of her past. But even in her darkest hours, Geena refused to accept her circumstances and never stopped striving for freedom and a better life. Eventually she found the strength to turn things around and set herself on a path to a brighter future. Now, Geena has a double university degree and the career of her dreams, and is in a loving relationship.

After suffering sexual abuse at the hands of her father, Geena Leigh ran away from home at 15. Discovering that she could earn large amounts of money a few nights a week, and without any education or options, Geena fell into prostitution, first of all in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley and later in Sydney and overseas...During the years that followed much of the time Geena was addicted to drugs; she endured a failed marriage, a miscarriage, a failed attempt at IVF and charging a housemate with rape. Despite all this she managed to clean up her act, to complete her secondary schooling and go on to get a double university degree. Today she has a successful career and loving relationship...Geena's story is an honest and compelling account of her adventures, misadventures, and ultimate salvation...' I gazed intently into my blue eyes as I wiped off the thick layer of foundation, eye-shadow and ultra-glossy scarlet-red lips. I applied a light, fresh-faced amount of make-up and put my hair in a soft ponytail. I took the money from my work handbag and stuffed it into my jeans pocket, leaving the handbag itself on the dressing table. I didn't leave via the back entrance. I had no reason to hide. I didn't say goodbye to anyone. I walked purposefully across the floor for the last time and advised the receptionist, 'I know I've said this about seven times before, but this time I'm serious. I don't work here anymore.'..'OK. Sasha. All the best!' she said...I'd worked there for sixteen years. Felt like I grew up there. This time I walked out and never went back. I was free! '

Making the Hardest Decisions As a young aid worker, Sasha Chanoff was sent to evacuate a group of refugees from the violence-torn Congo. But when he arrived he discovered a second group. Evacuating them too could endanger the entire mission. But leaving them behind would mean their certain death. All leaders face defining moments, when values are in conflict and decisions impact lives. Why is moral courage the essential factor at such times? How do we access our own rock-bottom values, and how can we take advantage of them to make the best decisions? Through Sasha's own extraordinary story and those of eight other brave leaders from business, government, nongovernment organizations, and the military, this book reveals five principles for confronting crucial decisions and inspires all of us to use our moral core as a lodestar for leadership.

An exploration of how design might be led by marginalized communities, dismantle structural inequality, and advance collective liberation and ecological survival. What is the relationship between design, power, and social justice? “Design justice” is an approach to design that is led by marginalized communities and that aims expilcitly to challenge, rather than reproduce, structural inequalities. It has emerged from a growing community of designers in various fields who work closely with social movements and community-based organizations around the world. This book explores the theory and practice of design justice, demonstrates how universalist design principles and practices erase certain groups of people—specifically, those who are intersectionally disadvantaged or multiply burdened under the matrix of domination (white supremacist heteropatriarchy, ableism, capitalism, and settler colonialism)—and invites readers to “build a better world, a world where many worlds fit; linked worlds of collective liberation and ecological sustainability.” Along the way, the book documents a multitude of real-world community-led design practices, each grounded in a particular social movement. Design Justice goes beyond recent calls for design for good, user-centered design, and employment diversity in the technology and design professions; it connects design to larger struggles for collective liberation and ecological survival.

Venice, 1585. When 16-year-old Laura della Scala learns that her older sister, Beatrice, has drowned, she is given no time to grieve. Instead, Laura's father removes her from the convent where he forcibly sent her years earlier and orders her to marry Beatrice's fiancé, a repulsive old merchant named Vincenzo. Panicked, Laura betrays a powerful man to earn her way into the Segreta, a shadowy society of women who deal in only one currency—secrets. The Segreta seems like the answer to Laura's prayers. The day after she joins their ranks, Vincenzo is publicly humiliated and conveniently exiled. Soon, however, Laura begins to suspect that her sister's death was not a tragic accident but a cold-blooded murder—one that might involve the Segreta and the women she has come to trust.
