A Collective Breath: Stories of Being Black in America and Visions of Change
Bridgett McGowen
Open. Sincere. Honest. Unfiltered.
In early June of 2020, many of us found ourselves unable to sleep ... unable to function normally ... unable to comprehend that once again, a black man found himself unable to breathe and ultimately met his demise at the hands of the police.
You may have also found yourself in a state of shock and wanting to do something. The contributors to A Collective Breath: Stories of Being Black in America and Visions of Change found themselves in similar…Open. Sincere. Honest. Unfiltered.
In early June of 2020, many of us found ourselves unable to sleep ... unable to function normally ... unable to comprehend that once again, a black man found himself unable to breathe and ultimately met his demise at the hands of the police.
You may have also found yourself in a state of shock and wanting to do something. The contributors to A Collective Breath: Stories of Being Black in America and Visions of Change found themselves in similar positions.
A Collective Breath’s collaborators’ candid, personal thoughts and feelings reveal the many challenges that blacks face in America today—challenges they may not directly divulge to others but that are part of their realities, and they offer ideas for solutions and actions to pave the way to a more optimistic future.
Consisting of a wide variety of blacks who are well-educated; who are community leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals; and who are involved with their families and religious organizations, the contributors tell of what it is like to be black in America.
In A Collective Breath, the contributors do not hold back.
They take a collective breath—the breaths that George Floyd, Manuel Ellis, Javier Ambler, Eric Garner, and so many others could not take—to document for the world how they feel in this moment; the lenses through which they, as blacks in America, view and live their lives; and what they believe needs to change today for a different tomorrow.Other authorsSee publication -

Love is a Catalyst: the Pain Behind the Purpose (Volume 2) is an inspiring memoir of overcoming adversity and growing in faith.
Alana was an accomplished professional, wife, and mother. But despite seeming to have it all together, she still struggled with the pain and brokenness from her childhood: just a few months before her high school graduation, Alana’s mother was murdered. Despite her agony, she persevered through college, storing up her pain in her closet. When the grief became too much to bear, she would retreat to her closet to cry.
This method of self-preservation carried her through the rigor of an engineering degree and the start of a successful career. But when she became an instant mom by marrying a man with three young boys, she realized just how important wholeness was. After a series of breakthroughs and setbacks, she had an encounter with God in the closet that changed her perspective on her life’s hurts, and solidified her faith in her Redeemer.
Love is a Catalyst: The Pain Behind the Purpose is an inspirational memoir about a resilient woman who overcame pain and brokenness to find and fulfill her purpose. Let her story inspire you to press on. -
Love is a Catalyst

Making the decision to marry a man with three young boys was not difficult, but getting her new sons to love her was.

In 2010, Rodney and Alana were making preparations for their tenth wedding anniversary, a milestone that also marked ten years as a blended family. Making the decision to marry a man with three young boys was not difficult, but getting her new sons to love her was. While Alana was determined (sometimes too much so) to create a new, happy family, the journey was not without its challenges. No matter how hard she tried, her eldest continued to act out, bringing up past hurts from her childhood. Then, while writing her memoir about her own journey to adulthood, their family was dealt an even more devastating blow.
After their eighteen-year-old prodigal son rejected his family, he was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. This is the account of the spiritual journey that restored him, and brought healing to the whole family. Love is a Catalyst is an inspiring, personal story of love and reconciliation. -
