The Guided Vision Planning Workbook
Through our work to decolonize bookshelves and minds, we've embarked on a journey of personal growth, of powerful learning and unlearning, transformative healing, and a profound return to self and inner source. This guided workbook lays plain our path toward meaningful pursuits through (re)flection, (re)leasing, and (re)aligning. Complete with prompts, recipes, space for curiosity and vision crafting- this project of passion, this labor of love is available on Amazon.

Untethered by Angela Jackson-Brown
Imbolo Mbue’s How Beautiful We Were is both a lyrical meditation and a searing indictment. With unflinching honesty and haunting beauty, the novel tells a story that is deeply personal yet globally relevant. The characters, especially Thula, are drawn with deep empathy and complexity—each shaped by grief, anger, and a quiet, burning hope for justice.

Untethered by Angela Jackson-Brown
Angela Jackson-Brown delivers a quietly powerful and emotionally resonant novel about grief, duty, and self-discovery. Katia is a deeply human protagonist: strong yet vulnerable, endlessly empathetic to her boys and family, yet uneasy confronting her own desires and losses .
Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson
Untethered by Angela Jackson-Brown
Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson
Charmaine Wilkerson’s Good Dirt is a beautifully layered story that explores how trauma, memory, and family history shape who we are. The novel follows Ebony “Ebby” Freeman as she tries to find peace after a series of personal and family tragedies. At its heart is a mysterious stoneware jar—crafted by an enslaved ancestor—that connects generations of women through both suffering and strength.
