Owner, Karen Dial, and manager, Sean Moor have truly brought a jewel to Southern Calfornia with the opening of the bookstore, "The Book Jewel." In a time when so much is unfamiliar and so much of what Humankind loves has been held at bay, Karen and Sean had the consciousness to open an amazing bookstore in the midst of a pandemic. The success of this store and the diverse outreach speaks volumes about their integrity and character. I applaud them and wish them continued success.

BLACK BODIES IN BRONZE
Dana King is a classical figurative sculptor. She rescues everyday Black American heroines/heroes from unjust obscurity and then ennobles their tenacity and courage through figurative sculpture. Dana King continues the tradition of our African elder storytellers by telling the stories of Black Bodies in Bronze. Dana says she prefers sculptures because they inhabit space and space is power.

LAW PROFESSOR, ERIC MILLER, SPEAKS OF THE "DIRTY SECRET" IN THE WAY LAW IS TAUGHT IN LAW SCHOOLS
Eric Miller, Professor of Law at Loyola Law School and Leo J. O'Brien Fellow, believes that changes must be made in the way Law students are exposed to the law. The perception has been that all criminals are "Moral Monsters." Eric believes this indoctrination must be shifted. Particularly, because it misrepresents the Black male. He has co-written a Case Book to assist in this shift in awareness.
EMPATHY IS MY SUPERPOWER
Joy Assent’s story is compelling.
She was raised by parents who were addicted to crack cocaine. At a young age, she was robbed at gunpoint and later fell victim to a severe head injury. Yet, she thrives; she loves; she sees through the eyes of the other. Joy has lived and continues to live through her open heart bringing the gift of empathy. That open-hearted empathy is her superpower.
Six years in the army which moved her into a different way of living and now a member of an HR team, Joy refers to herself as a “Purveyor of Positive People.” She can only be that because she is beyond positive. She lives from her heart space. We have much to learn from Joy Assent.
THE MAGIC OF DIANNE REEVES
If you know anything about Dianne Reeves, if you’ve heard her sing, the power in her voice, you’re aware that there’s something extraordinary happening there. Her voice touches the soul. Her presence is felt the moment she walks into a room.
I was curious to understand the origin of her depth. I wanted to understand what she's leaned on, her superpower, that has allowed her to shine so brightly through this racist society and come out unscathed.
We had a fun time speaking of what I refer to as her magic.
Tune in and enjoy my conversation with the amazing Dianne Reeves.
You might just hear something that moves you into a deeper relationship with yourself.
