| henna tips for beginners: A Kick in the Belly Stella Dadzie, 2021-10-12 The story of the enslaved West Indian women in the struggle for freedom The forgotten history of women slaves and their struggle for liberation. Enslaved West Indian women had few opportunities to record their stories for posterity. In this riveting work of historical reclamation, Stella Dadzie recovers the lives of women who played a vital role in developing a culture of slave resistance across the Caribbean. Dadzie follows a savage trail from Elmina Castle in Ghana and the horrors of the Middle Passage, as slaves were transported across the Atlantic, to the sugar plantations of Jamaica and beyond. She reveals women who were central to slave rebellions and liberation. There are African queens, such as Amina, who led a 20,000-strong army. There is Mary Prince, sold at twelve years old, never to see her sisters or mother again. Asante Nanny the Maroon, the legendary obeah sorceress, who guided the rebel forces in the Blue Mountains during the First Maroon War. Whether responding to the horrendous conditions of plantation life, the sadistic vagaries of their captors or the “peculiar burdens of their sex,” their collective sanity relied on a highly subversive adaptation of the values and cultures they smuggled from their lost homes. By sustaining or adapting remembered cultural practices, they ensured that the lives of chattel slaves retained both meaning and purpose. A Kick in the Belly makes clear that subtle acts of insubordination and conscious acts of rebellion came to undermine the very fabric of West Indian slavery. |

| henna tips for beginners: The Simplicity Connection C. B. Davis, 2009-08-14 The market for self-improvement books may never be boring, but it is often littered with false hope. A better sex life? Lose weight in ten days by eating only Twinkies? Make more money than you’ve ever dreamed from the comfort of your couch? These are promises left unfulfilled because they do not address the core of the problems they try to solve: our society is destructively complex and dependent on consumerism. Fixing the problems of tomorrow (and yesterday) starts today. We have the ability to revitalize our health by saving our environment—cleaning the air and water, stabilizing the climate, refocusing our consumption with a plan for achieving sustainability. Finding out how to maintain our lives and relate to others are the first steps in making ourselves self-sufficient and peaceful. But we still have a very long way to go. What if, on the basis of one belief, we could start to rectify the larger problems of society? Solve global warming? Childhood obesity? Famine, drought, and poverty? What if one book could teach us how to gain more time, more energy, more money, more happiness, and better health? Sounds too good to be true? Simplicity is that cure-all, and The Simplicity Connection will teach us how to get back on a path of physical, emotional and mental well-being. This practical and comprehensive guide will help us rethink how we treat our bodies, our spirits, and our environment. It will show how even our smallest actions can lead to a simpler, better life. www.simplicityconnection.com Follow The Simplicity Connection on Facebook: www.facebook.com/SimpConnection Follow The Simplicity Connection on Twitter: www.twitter.com/SimpConnection |

| henna tips for beginners: Fat Girl Mark Donahue, 2021-01-21 Growing up, Sara had always been that girl…the fat girl. The one the kids made fun of. The one who had no dates, no friends, and who had to endure the taunts, the humiliation, and the loneliness. Her wealthy mother was a size 6, single parent who loved her only child, but did not get it, “How could such a smart girl, weigh 800 pounds?” Neither Sara nor the myriad of doctors who tried to treat her obesity, got it either. When her mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, she needs someone to care for Sara after she dies. She turns to a handsome young attorney with a simple message; “You get $250,000 every year Sara stays alive.” Seeing opportunity, the attorney enlists the aid of a former college roommate, now physician. They have a plan; it works, Sara loses weight. She also has vivid dreams. Someone comes to her room each night and in the darkness and touches Sara. Then more. Things Sara has never experienced before. Initially repulsed by the touch, she begins to anticipate and long for the touch. But it was all a dream…or was it? When Sara wakes a size 4, she tries to distinguish between dreams, fantasy and reality. And discover who came to her in the night. |
