Shawn Dove presents I TOO AM AMERICA, with Ted Shaw at Flyleaf Books
Flyleaf Books 752 MLK Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill, NCThere is no cavalry coming! We are the iconic leaders we have been waiting for; curators of the change we're seeking to see. America is currently rumbling with a reckoning on race and wonder whether it will finally reconcile its history of systemic oppression of its Black citizens, who have helped build this country. The 2020 murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, in the midst of a global pandemic ignited a wave of racial justice protests and activism analogous to how the murder of Emmett Till in August 1954 sparked the Civil Rights Movement 65 years ago. We are facing the fierce urgency of empathy and the overdue dismantling of long-standing barriers that prevent Black people from realizing their full potential in America. Research from the Opportunity Agenda reveals that stories of our lived experiences, more so than data and numbers, is what evokes the empathy that changes hearts and minds that might push us further toward "a more perfect union." I Too Am America, written by Shawn Dove and Nick Chiles, delivers timely insights and inspiration that humanizes the stories of Black men and boys, while offering strategic recommendations on how together we can from our current rumblings with a racial reckoning to loving, learning and leading with and on behalf of Black men and boys. Shawn Dove is the founder of the Corporation for Black Male Achievement, a consulting and publishing enterprise that produces community-building and leadership engagements that amplify stories of loving, learning and leading Black men and boys. Previously he led the Campaign for Black Male Achievement, a national intermediary membership organization committed to ensuring the growth, impact and sustainability of leaders and organizations committed to improving the life outcomes for Black men and boys, including supporting the launch of President Obama's My […]

Kate Doyle presents I MEANT IT ONCE, with Heather Havrilesky at Flyleaf Books
Flyleaf Books 752 MLK Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill, NCThis “gorgeous, electric” collection of short stories is about the inner lives of young women during their transformative twenties, navigating relationships, nostalgia for the past, and the uncertainty of the future (Mary-Beth Hughes, author of The Ocean House). With this sharp and witty debut collection, author Kate Doyle captures precisely that time of life when so many young women are caught in between, pre-occupied by nostalgia for past relationships—with friends, roommates, siblings—while trying to move forward into an uncertain future. In “That Is Shocking,” a college student relates a darkly funny story of romantic humiliation, one that skirts the parallel story of a friend she betrayed. In others, young women long for friends who have moved away, or moved on. In “Cinnamon Baseball Coyote” and other linked stories about siblings Helen, Evan, and Grace, their years of inside jokes and brutal tensions simmer over as the three spend a holiday season in an amusing whirl of rivalry and mutual attachment, and a generational gulf widens between them and their parents. Throughout, in stories both lyrical and haunting, young women search for ways to break free from the expectations of others and find a way to be in the world. Written with crystalline prose and sly humor, the stories in I Meant It Once build to complete a profoundly recognizable portrait of early adulthood and the ways in which seemingly incidental moments can come to define the stories we tell ourselves. For fans of Elif Batuman, Ottessa Moshfegh, Patricia Lockwood, and Melissa Bank, these stories about being young and adrift in today’s world go down easy and pack a big punch. Kate Doyle’s short stories have been published in No Tokens, Electric Literature, A Public Space, Split Lip, Wigleaf, and other publications. Originally from New England, she is a former bookseller […]

Matt Zemon presents PSYCHEDELICS FOR EVERYONE at Flyleaf Books
Flyleaf Books 752 MLK Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill, NCIn Psychedelics for Everyone, Matt Zemon provides readers with an inspiring foundation for understanding the profound transformational power of psychedelics. As psychiatric methods and medicines have advanced over the past fifty years, there is an entire group of possible treatment methodologies that the United States-and much of the Western world-has chosen to ignore and demonize. Despite this, there is a wide breadth of medical practitioners and indigenous healers who recognize the benefits of psychedelic treatment. Matt Zemon shares personal stories of his use of psychedelics, as well as presents curated, medically reviewed information from experts in the clinical use of psychedelics that is certain to make anyone reevaluate all they've been taught about drugs. In this book, you'll learn: How to microdose Where and how you can take psychedelics legally Techniques for psychedelic preparation and integration And much, much more... Matt Zemon, MSc, is a dedicated explorer of the inner world, and a passionate advocate for the thoughtful and responsible use of psychedelics. With a Master of Science in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health with honors from King’s College London, Matt has studied the effects of psychedelics on the mind and the potential for these experiences to serve as a catalyst for positive transformations.
