Seeking help is hard. Dope Therapy makes it easier. For many people, there is fear and stigma associated with entering the therapy room. Maybe you’ve been told that going to therapy means something is wrong with you. Maybe you don’t know what to expect. Even if you recognize the benefits of seeking help, it can feel scary and unknown to take that first step. If you’ve thought about therapy but don’t know where to start, or if you’ve tried therapy in the past but it hasn’t helped, Dope Therapy is for you. With humor and compassion, author and therapist Shani Tran validates the anxiety that can arise around seeking counseling and offers guidance for navigating the uncomfortable conversations that can come up in therapy. She is with you each step of the way, from finding the right therapist to determining when you’ve reached the end of your therapy journey. Get answers to your questions, including: • Why isn’t therapy working? • What if I don’t want to take medication? • How do I deal with all these feelings? • What will happen if I tell my therapist that I’m having suicidal thoughts? • How do I break up with my therapist? "What a breath of fresh air! This book lays out everything you need to know about therapy and how to navigate it - especially if you are BIPOC, queer, or young. Finally, a fun, accessible book that can guide people to the help they need." —Ryan Schwartz, founder, Mental Health Match

On Fathers' Day in 2018, Marvyn Harrison created a WhatsApp group with all the Black fathers he knew (at the time, twenty-three people) to wish them a happy Fathers' Day. This small group chat grew to become a community; a hub for knowledge-sharing and support, with the network discussing co-parenting, cohabiting, marriage, fatherhood, blended families and much more. Dope Black Dads is now an internationally recognised community of over 40,000 across the UK, US, South Africa and beyond sharing their personal stories, journeys, life lessons and learnings derived from their experiences of being Black fathers. In this book, Marvyn brings to light his experience of Black fatherhood, discussing his own journey into fatherhood, his relationship with his own father, and the narratives around Black fatherhood, bringing in fellow Dope Black Dads such as Tinie Tempah, Mark Maciver, Raphael Sofoluke and Sean Fletcher to share their stories, wisdom, advice and fatherhood hacks. From deep dives into how you can prepare for fatherhood, working on your emotional and mental wellbeing ahead of having a child and learning how to love yourself as well as your partner and child, to the practicalities of co-parenting, co-habiting, finances and health to the importance of supporting Black women, examining Black masculinity and celebrating LGBTQIA+ Black dads, Dope Black Dads is an honest, informative and much-needed guide to Black fatherhood in all its forms.

The pigmentation in the skin defines how you’ll be treated in society. This all derived from the hatred being implemented in the hearts of those of our past. This condescending derivative tarnishes opportunities and respect to certain ethnic groups. This is all misguided. Our external appearances shouldn’t dismay our internal strives and beliefs. I became a victim to this harsh mentality and it led me to do something I never thought I was capable of doing. It’s about time I set the record straight.

Born a dope baby, I became a college graduate, a mother of three, an entrepreneur, an Income Tax professional and an NFL wife. I was raised in the 80's and 90's amid the crack cocaine epidemic, the worst and deadliest drug surge the United States had ever seen that plagued predominantly low-income African American communities. This is a story of how the cheap drug caused devastating effects not only to the addict we come to know as Rose, but also to me, Rose's youngest child. Almost every encounter we have with a person who suffers from addiction focuses primarily on their failed attempts to achieve sobriety, a typical life of crime to support their habit, and in some positive cases, their re-acclimation back into society and the monstrous task of maintaining a drug free life. We almost never dissect what the family of an addict experiences. I felt moved to write this book to offer a deep and personal look into how drug addiction has detrimental effects on the family members of addicts as well, particularly their children. This is my story. Let's rummage through every human emotion from fear and terror, to hope and despair, and finally freedom.This book will help you embrace your own life's challenges and learn to shed the shame of circumstances you couldn't or can't control, as you navigate how to live with other people's choices.

After going to school and being teased, she starts to doubt what her parents told her about the unique glow of her skin. She is then educated about the power of her melanin, how it protects her from the Sun, and learns that it is one of her many superpowers! This is the first book of the Princess series.

It is important to prevent young girls from viewing their melanin as a negative attribute.

When Liv Thorne was in her twenties, and single, she would joke to friends that if Mr Right didn't come along she'd have to take matters into her own hands and have a child on her own. When she was still single in her thirties, it stopped being a joke and she started researching sperm banks and fertility clinics. Liv's Alone is an honest and hopeful memoir that captures the joy and the challenge that is parenting alone by choice. From dismantling the fairy tale story that we're fed from a young age and grieving the life you thought you were going to have, to buying sperm from Denmark and bringing a baby into the world. Guiding readers through the highs and lows with warmth, humour and understanding, Liv wants her book to be a little beacon of optimism for women who are in the same position she was in; late 30s, single and longing for a baby. This is Liv & Herb's story, but hopefully a version of it will be yours.
