THE FIRST FEMALE MUSLIM AMERICAN TO MEDAL AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES NAMED ONE OF TIME'S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE Growing up in New Jersey as the only African American Muslim at school, Ibtihaj Muhammad always had to find her own way. When she discovered fencing, a sport traditionally reserved for the wealthy, she had to defy expectations and make a place for herself in a sport she grew to love. From winning state championships to three-time All-America selections at Duke University, Ibtihaj was poised for success, but the fencing community wasn't ready to welcome her with open arms just yet. As the only woman of color and the only religious minority on Team USA's saber fencing squad, Ibtihaj had to chart her own path to success and Olympic glory. Proud is a moving coming-of-age story from one of the nation's most influential athletes and illustrates how she rose above it all.

This easy-to-read children's rhyming book is a fun way of inspiring girls to set goals and open their minds to new possibilities. The story takes place at a slumber party.

New York Times bestselling author and Printz Award winner Walter Dean Myers once again connects with teenagers everywhere in Darius & Twig, a novel about friendship and needing to live one's own dream. This touching and raw teen novel from the author of Monster, Kick, We Are America, Bad Boy, and many other celebrated literary works for children and teens is a Coretta Scott King Honor Book. Darius and Twig are an unlikely pair: Darius is a writer whose only escape is his alter ego, a peregrine falcon named Fury, and Twig is a middle-distance runner striving for athletic success. But they are drawn together in the struggle to overcome the obstacles that life in Harlem throws at them. The two friends must face down bullies, an abusive uncle, and the idea that they'll be stuck in the same place forever. Maria Russo, writing in the New York Times, included Darius & Twig on her list of "great kids' books with diverse characters." She commented: "The late Myers, one of the greats and a champion of diversity in children’s books well before the cause got mainstream attention, is at his elegant, heartfelt best in this 2013 novel. It’s about two friends growing up in Harlem, one a writer, one an athlete, facing daily challenges and trying to dream of a brighter future."

Did you know fewer than 3 percent of people achieve their dreams! It should be no surprise more than 98% of people spend more time planning their next vacation than planning their lives. Remember the failure to plan is a plan for fail! Are you guilty of having aborted your dreams of success for the lack of a vision and definition of what success means to you? World-renowned speaker and thought leader, the late Zig Ziggler, once said, "If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time." Sadly, as quoted by motivational speaking Phenom Less Brown, the cemetery has become some of the richest soil on earth. Why, because so many are dying daily never having fulfilled their potential and living the passion and purpose. Millions of unrealized dreams are buried with those who were assigned to birth them during their lifetime. What a tragedy it would be to look back someday and have to wonder what your life could have been if you would have only become intentional about achieving your dreams. Empowerment coach Cornelius Stafford will share a ten-step success system that will help you reignite your flame and live a life of passion and purpose.
