Journey Untold will make you laugh, make you cry, and most importantly spark a conversation about how people can cope with life?s challenges. Mental illness is something that is still not talked about in the many communities, but especially in communities of color, like the one I grew up in, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This memoir offers a look at mental illness from my perspective as the child of a mother suffering from the effects of schizophrenia.
Book Synopsis The Untold Journey by : Natalie Robins
Download or read book The Untold Journey written by Natalie Robins and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of a famed 20th century, Jewish New York author and literary and social critic who struggled in the shadow of her husband. Diana Trilling’s life with Columbia University professor and literary critic Lionel Trilling was filled with secrets, struggles, and betrayals, and she endured what she called her “own private hell” as she fought to reconcile competing duties and impulses at home and at work. She was a feminist, yet she insisted that women’s liberation created unnecessary friction with men, asserting that her career ambitions should be on equal footing with caring for her child and supporting her husband. She fearlessly expressed sensitive, controversial, and moral views, and fought publicly with Lillian Hellman, among other celebrated writers and intellectuals, over politics. Diana Trilling was an anticommunist liberal, a position often misunderstood, especially by her literary and university friends. And finally, she was among the “New Journalists” who transformed writing and reporting in the 1960s, making her nonfiction as imaginative in style and scope as a novel. The first biographer to mine Diana Trilling’s extensive archives, Natalie Robins tells a previously undisclosed history of an essential member of New York City culture at a time of dynamic change and intellectual relevance. “Meticulously researched and documented, the biography is a detailed foray into the lives of a generation of writers and into the mind of literary critic, writer and intellectual Diana Trilling.”—Ms. “Robins does a solid job of rehabilitating a significant literary and cultural figure of the 20th century, a woman who spent much of her career in her husband’s shadow.”—Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book UNTOLD. written by Karen Shayne and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While working on a spring 2020 internship for Untold, a Middle Tennessee State University student proposed Untold: The Campus Diaries as a mental health awareness campaign within the campus community. In a “Dear Diary” format, this online blog was designed to resonate with any student who has faced a challenge, crisis, or difficult period through their college years. The result? Even with COVID-19 and nationwide campus shutdowns, students began submitting the powerful and moving stories of their mental health challenges, adjustments to campus life, celebrations of achievements, and their hopes for future opportunities. The powerful online blog also showcases the need for enhanced mental health awareness on university campuses. Since its inception, Untold: The Campus Diaries has grown globally, capturing the dramatic impact of student voices. Like other facets of the entire Untold Project, the student’s voice is heard through the art of both conversation and written word. It allows for unspoken and silent topics to be given a safe (and anonymous) place, free of judgment, where shared experiences help fellow students through their own hardships. The project allows students not only to be heard but to foster education, hope, and compassion within the campus community as mental health issues are elevated. The Campus Diaries project expanded in 2021 to showcase selected, anonymous student essays in a traveling exhibit that is displayed in high-traffic sites on campus. The Untold team is currently partnering with universities to bring this exhibit to campuses around the world and positively impact mental health in student communities. This book contains unedited entries by anonymous students. These authors’ words and thoughts are unfiltered. We hope the original essays will create change within the hearts and minds of the students and across their host communities as we strive for enhanced mental health throughout society.
Book Synopsis Untold Destiny by : Phumza N Sokhetye
Download or read book Untold Destiny written by Phumza N Sokhetye and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a true account of my life. Growing up, I was never 'an above the average' girl. You could say that I did not display any particular giftings at the time. I am a simple girl from the township who is determined to keep rising. The idea of writing the story told in this book grew out of a challenge and unpleasant experiences packaged with a life without an 'own income' whilst developing a business. I am ready to share my life with the world. I do not believe in luck. I believe in hard work and the rewards that follow the efforts. I have walked the path, experienced surviving from hand to mouth, with the threat of my only car being repossessed for non-payment looming over my head constantly. I have gone years without any income but held on to the dream and vision, full of hope that the dream would translate into reality one day. All the while gaining ground towards the dream, one step at a time.
Book Synopsis Wisdom Keeper by : Ilarion Merculieff
Download or read book Wisdom Keeper written by Ilarion Merculieff and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ilarion Merculieff weaves the remarkable strands of his life and culture into a fascinating account that begins with his traditional Unangan (Aleut) upbringing on a remote island in the Bering Sea, through his immersion in both the Russian Orthodox Church and his tribe’s holistic spiritual beliefs. He recounts his developing consciousness and call to leadership, and describes his work of the past thirty years bringing together Western science and Indigenous peoples’ traditional knowledge and wisdom to address the most pressing issues of our time. Tracing the extraordinary history of his ancestors—who mummified their dead in a way very similar to the Egyptians, constructed one of the most sophisticated high seas kayaks in the world, and densely populated shorelines in North America for ten thousand years—Merculieff describes the rich traditions of spirituality, art, dance, music, storytelling, science, and technology that enabled them to survive their harsh conditions. The Unangan people of the Aleutian Islands endured slavery at the hands of the U.S. government and were placed in an internment camp during WWII, where they suffered malnutrition and disease that decimated 10 percent of their population. Merculieff movingly describes how the compassion of Indigenous Elders has guided him in his work and life, which has been rife with struggle and hardship. He explains that environmental degradation, the extinction of species, pollution, war, and failing public institutions are all reflections of our relationships with ourselves. In order to deal with these critical challenges, he argues, we must reenter the chaos of the natural world, rediscover our balance of the masculine and the sacred feminine, and heal ourselves. Then, perhaps, we can heal the world.

Book Synopsis The Long Journey Home by : Craig Heath Blackman
Download or read book The Long Journey Home written by Craig Heath Blackman and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Long Journey Home is the story of how a diverse group of post-millennial students rediscovered their local history and truly understood the cost of war. They went beyond the leaning objectives and developed relationships with the mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, and friends of twenty-five fallen soldiers. Black and white, single and married, these soldiers were farm boys, construction workers, mechanics, bus boys, college students, and business managers who deployed to the jungles of Southeast Asia never to return. Like other teenagers of their time, these soldiers enjoyed hunting, fishing, singing, surfing, baseball, ham radios, and riding motorcycles. The Long Journey Home is the story of tears and sadness, patriotism and sacrifice, heroism and comradery. The high school students who engaged in this project will never be the same. Interacting with the Gold Star families forever sculpted them emotionally and intellectually. May we always remember that sacrifice without remembrance is meaningless!

Today, she is vulnerable enough and ready to expend the energy to try emotional intimacy to break the love curse because she knows that if Love fails her again and again, she is built and equipped to survive.Hall says, "Society thinks being single is a sickness or disorder and that can lead to toxic relationships." She unapologetically takes the reader on her journey to find peace, joy, and wholeness. Hall, an advocate, and champion of mental wellness realize that hurt and broken people hurt and break others. She has committed her entire life to avoid being like her mentally ill mother, and to shoulder the burden of responsibility, along with her ex-husband Mark, for caring for her three boys and only daughter whom all have special abilities.

Book excerpt: A Story Untold was born in a classroom in Clarke Central High School in 1971. An 18-year-old Michael Thurmond was a member of the first graduating class of the newly-consolidated Clarke Central, a merging of the all-black Burney-Harris High School and the predominantly-white Athens High School. It was not until the summer between college and the start of law school that Thurmond initiated his effort to document the history of the black community in Athens, a history largely unknown and unrecognized. Over the ensuing years, A Story Untold emerged and was published in 1978. Thurmond says, "We recognize that black history is American history. People of all races and colors understand that defining, documenting and sharing our history benefits all of us. As Southerners, we are connected by a shared heritage and history." A Story Untold is a compilation of nine written essays and one pictorial essay concerning the history of black men and women in Athens, Georgia. Each essay depicts either an individual contribution or the historical development of one the major institutions within the Athens black community.
Book Synopsis Write like a Man by : Ronnie Grinberg
Download or read book Write like a Man written by Ronnie Grinberg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How virility and Jewishness became hallmarks of postwar New York’s combative intellectual scene In the years following World War II, the New York intellectuals became some of the most renowned critics and writers in the country. Although mostly male and Jewish, this prominent group also included women and non-Jews. Yet all of its members embraced a secular Jewish machismo that became a defining characteristic of the contemporary experience. Write like a Man examines how the New York intellectuals shared a uniquely American conception of Jewish masculinity that prized verbal confrontation, polemical aggression, and an unflinching style of argumentation. Ronnie Grinberg paints illuminating portraits of figures such as Norman Mailer, Hannah Arendt, Lionel and Diana Trilling, Mary McCarthy, Norman Podhoretz, Midge Decter, and Irving Howe. She describes how their construction of Jewish masculinity helped to propel the American Jew from outsider to insider even as they clashed over its meaning in a deeply anxious project of self-definition. Along the way, Grinberg sheds light on their fraught encounters with the most contentious issues and ideas of the day, from student radicalism and the civil rights movement to feminism, Freudianism, and neoconservatism. A spellbinding chronicle of mid-century America, Write like a Man shows how a combative and intellectually grounded vision of Jewish manhood contributed to the masculinization of intellectual life and shaped some of the most important political and cultural debates of the postwar era.
