Black Insights for Marketing and Understanding Black Culture & the Perspectives of Black People in America today
With over twenty-five years of experience as a market researcher and Black American subject-matter expert, Pepper Miller shares foundational insights about Black culture—delving into the back stories and sharing marketing and market research examples to help readers understand the importance of language, beliefs, and behaviors related to Black culture.
In this book Pepper explores and explains:
SEVEN Blind Spots that prevent business leaders from “Getting” the real perspective of their Black employees, customers, and the potential of audiences they are not currently serving.
FIVE Shape-Shifting segments within the Black population, including Black immigrants and LGBTQ+ individuals, and how each of the five groups is unapologetically different from mainstream, and also different from each other, in meaningful ways. Throughout the book dozens of well-known celebrities, leaders and individual cultural shapeshifters are recognized for their impressive contributions to society at large.
More than FIVE important sectors indicating that America today is NOT post-racial, including: education, health and healthcare, housing, wealth & financial services, and the justice system itself.
Eye-popping Statistics contradicting many commonly held stereotypes, assumptions, and beliefs.
After presenting “issues” that still need to be addressed, the remainder of the book explores opportunities for a better future—what real inclusion, equality, and celebration look like.
Taking readers closer to the heart and soul of Black culture Pepper addresses Black identity and language; the authentic realism of Black cyberspace; the importance of the Black church; connecting to the community in positive ways with Black media, grassroots events, authenticity, and inclusive market research; and so much more.
Upon completing this journey with Pepper, readers should have a clear understanding of “the why” about Black America and the value of aligning with and investing in this distinctive and rising sector of American people.

THE BEAST IS TWO-HEADED. THE QUEST FOR JUSTICE IS HEROIC. Detectives Joi Sommers and her partner Russell Wilkerson speed to the Ingalls Hospital ER and are disgusted to find the strangled body of Tamiko Triplett, preteen lying on the gurney, the tattoo of a dragon, and a pimp’s initials on her inner thigh.
What kind of monster would ravage and discard the fragile beauty with exotic eyes like debris? Enraged, the detectives commit to bringing her murderer to justice, on or off the clock. This quest leads the pair into the dark world of sex trafficking flourishing clandestinely in the surrounding south suburban enclaves.
Consumed with this case, the recently widowed Russell relapses into alcohol addiction and while struggling to conceal his drinking from his partner and family, his reckless neglect leaves those he loves most vulnerable to dangers lurking unobserved and undetected.

Broken Dolls
“Homicide detective Joi Sommer is a beast! You really want to read this book. It wasn't just about the murder of Pastor Dennis Gregg. It showed that all is not what it seems and in spite of the smiles, luxuries and fanfare, there were ugly and horrible secrets. Secrets hidden, that only in death do they come to the surface.”
| |
The Iron Collar
“Susan Peters writes Joi Sommers with passion, assertiveness, attention to detail, and a love for a character that only an author can express for someone she has studied and admired. Even though I knew Joi and Russell would find the sadistic murderer, I was mesmerized by this female detective who paid attention to the smallest details. She cared about Keisha Norman, the dead coed, and was determined to get justice for her.”

Sweet Liberia
“Many have wondered what it would be like to pack up our things and move to a new country, but none of us have imagined having to flee our new homeland with our children and barely more than the clothes on our back.
Yet, Susan Peters managed to do just that while maintaining her faith which would eventually help her rebuild her life and uplift her heart and soul. This book is a wonderful and eye-opening experience that shouldn't be missed!”---Naleighna Kai, National Best-selling author of Speak It into Existence. Sweet Liberia, Lessons from the Coal Pot is a delightful, painfully honest memoir that chronicles the thick slice of humanity sandwiched between Liberia’s April 12, 1980 coup and the Civil War in 1989.
Like many others who embraced Black Pride, Afros, African clothing and names in the 70’s, Susan and thousands more took it one step further and immigrated to Mother Africa. This touching memoir is set against the author’s personal growth, her cultural struggles, and her triumphs, and is an informative, personally revealing, and often-comical account of her family’s eleven-year journey immersed in the rich culture of Liberia, West Africa. Now, as Liberia stands on the threshold of rising under the leadership of Africa’s first elected female president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Susan writes about the wisdom, beauty, and resilience she witnessed during her sojourn.

What racist beliefs cause a child to grow up hating and fearing a group of people based solely on the color of their skin? In this true story, George O’Hare recounts the myths about Black people he was taught from a very early age, causing him as a second-grader to fear that the little African American boy that came to his all-white school (for one day) would rape his grandmother and wondering how his Black high-school classmate concealed his tail.
George never engaged with a Black person, and held firmly to the racist beliefs he was taught until upon reaching his early 30’s he met and became friends with Dr. Martin Luther King, Dick Gregory and Father George Clements and became one of the greatest proponents of Civil Rights during that period. Confessions of a Recovering Racist is an entertaining and enjoyable read as George O’Hare recounts stories of how he and his good friend Fred Hampton changed the demographics of Sears, Roebuck & Account. Learn George’s part in helping his friend, Don Cornelius launch Soul Train and how he traveled all over the world with Muhammad Ali to keep Ali from indulging in an overabundance of junk food. His many adventures with iconic people led to his reputation as the Forest Gump of the Black community.
Confessions of a Recovering Racist addresses the fallacy of racism and the hope of recovery in a unique, honest, and sometimes humorous way

A Pocketful of Pearls is a book of priceless inspirational messages for relaxation and enjoyment. "Pearls" are a helpful tool to help recognize, change, and/or eliminate unwanted things in your life, things that have been keeping you from your desired goals and from the life you were created to live.
God is constantly talking with us; however, with our busy life situations, we don't stop to listen. I listened. And God gave me A Pocketful of Pearls. As a result of many conversations with God in my quiet time, A Pocketful of Pearls was born. Through reflections, overcomings, and revelations received, I improved my perception of life and my place in it. This book is for those that want to live life in a state of joyful praise, peace, and harmony. The truth I found helped me, and I have to share it with you.
The messages (pearls) came as a result of life situations and learning moments I now share through messages of strength, faith, happiness, love, fun, empathy, and praise and social situations, poems, and stories, as well as other revelations. Through these various messages, it is my hope, or rather my prayer, that these "pearls" uplift, inspire, and encourage someone; and then I would have accomplished my goal

Get Your Truth Back is for the maturing Christian who is ready to be real with themselves about their patterns of behavior that conflict with the Will or Word of God. Over time Christians can be seduced into actions that are outside the will of God.
Those pleasant sins that gain a foothold in your heart and mind. It’s not a sudden slip, but a gradual blurring of judgement. You begin to think, “this sin is not really that bad.” It’s like losing your credit card. You don’t think about it till you reach for it and can’t find it. Immediately, you have to stop and look for it because otherwise there could be major damage done.
Get Your Truth Back invites you into an intentionally reflective space to have an experience with God rather than just another book of theology or information on a shelf. Dr. Byrd walks you through a pragmatic and practical process of asking questions that demand engagement, promotes thinking, and draws out a considered response.
Through that considered response, each individual uncovers the behavior patterns’ that are the root cause of their strongholds. Dr. Byrd then shows us how to enlist and engage committed success partners and develop a personalized plan of attack to take back the areas in our lives we have relinquished to the enemy.

The African-American Historical News Journal is a compilation of newspaper articles and firsthand accounts of our nation's history. What makes the content of ‘The Journal’ so important is that the information is not widely known, largely because it is not widely taught in our schools.
Whether in the African-American community or the community at large, the information regarding the important impact of African-Americans to the founding of our country is a story all should know. If we don’t know the whole story, then we don’t know the real story of the founding of our country. If you don’t know the real story, then you don’t know the whole story. It is imperative that all of us, as Americans, know the entire story of the founding of our country.
