2022 Revisions - Same Great Content!!! America is more diverse than ever before, but, disturbingly, black professionals still face discrimination, bias, and hostility in the workplace. If you're black, you might be up against more than just the tough job competition. S. K. Chapman has spent years in corporate America and has many stories to share. Some of the stories shared by Chapman will make you laugh out loud, some will make you seethe with anger, but all will make you think. Chapman has experienced the entire spectrum of bias and disparate treatment in the workplace. Some of the situations Chapman describes would be humorous on their own, but the absurdities that blacks in the workplace face quickly accumulate and become overwhelming, revealing deep-seated and unsettling patterns. Black Threatening Invisible contains insights for people on every step of the career ladder. Whether you are a recent graduate encountering workplace bias and hostility for the first time or someone who has been discriminated against for years, this book has valuable insight for you.

More That Just A Flag is the autobiography of Trans Flag creator, trans activist and Navy veteran, Monica F. Helms. Monica's book details the major events of her life, from childhood through to the book's publication in 2019. Included are her service in the U.S. Navy as a submariner, and her personal journey to discovering her true self as a trans woman, including the subsequent battles she fought with her civilian employer, Sprint. Helms recalls her creation of the Transgender Pride Flag in 1999, and her donation of the original to the Smithsonian in 2014. Monica details her founding of the Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA) in 2003, where she went on to serve as president for ten years. Along with numerous other examples of her trans activism, including holding Atlanta's first TDOR event in 2000, Helms recounts lobbying state legislators in Arizona and Georgia, as well as in D.C., and being elected a delegate to the 2004 Democratic National Convention. At times, funny, at others, necessarily sad, More Than Just A Flag is the story of a leader in the fight for transgender acceptance, at a time when the trans community was just coalescing and finding its voice.
