That’s now been done in a graphically rich new “coffee table” book: Portraits of Purpose: A Tribute To Leadership. Portraits of Purpose is a visual chronicle of 127 Boston-based African American leaders and their allies who have continued the pursuit of freedom and justice in a post-civil rights era. Renowned Boston photographer Don West and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Kenneth J. Cooper teamed up to capture the images and shared the stories of these significant individuals of conscience. From Charles Ogletree, Jr. and Cheng Imm Tan to Elma Lewis and the up and coming Tulaine Montgomery, these leaders of action are portrayed for the significant contributions they have made to the region…and the country. ==================== Don West A seasoned photographer and consummate professional, Don captures the spirit and character of people, places and events. A newsman at the core, he likes to be where the action is. West began his career as a freelance and news photographer, working for United Press International (UPI) and the Bay State Banner, Boston’s black weekly paper. He has since gone on to a host of photojournalistic assignments that have taken him throughout the United States, Latin America, Africa, China, Europe and the Middle East. He is particularly proud to have served as Nelson Mandela’s photographer when he first visited Boston after release from prison, in South Africa; the official photographer for Mel King’s historic “Rainbow Coalition” Mayoral campaign; and to be called upon to cover special events of Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign in New England. Likened to a “griot,” or people’s historian, Don uses his camera to provide visual witness to our rich diversity and collective contributions, capturing images and telling stories of individuals at work, at play, with their families, and in struggle for what they believe. Ken Cooper Kenneth J. Cooper is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and editor, veteran of 30 years at a major newspaper including The Washington Post and the Boston Globe. Currently, he is the editor for The Trotter Review, an annual scholarly journal focused on the history and culture of African Americans, published by the William Monroe Trotter Institute at UMass Boston. Independent writer for national magazines, freelance editor and consultant on journalism projects, Cooper is exploring new interests in the Middle East and is developing a major writing project, a historical narrative set in Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma.

Log Onto: www.blogtalkradio.com/globalcarole Listen LIVE or Download Anytime ======================== New author Kevin Parham has collapsed a lifetime of summer memories into one remarkable book titled The Vineyard We Knew: A Recollection of Summers on Martha’s Vineyard. The unheated small cottage his grandmother acquired would become a place of summer refuge for Kevin and his extended family for decades. Now he has done what most people only talk about doing: Kevin has published a new book about his summer adventures on this celebrated Massachusetts island. Before President Bill Clinton’s summer vacations...before President Barack Obama’s summer vacation...there were Kevin Parham’s summer vacations on the “Vineyard.” We’ll talk to Kevin on today’s show and preview what millions will experience from Gay Head to Edgartown to the Inkwell straight through Labor Day. It’s all about Martha’s Vineyard on today’s edition of Focus On Empowerment. Purchase Kevin's book at www.thevineyardweknew.com From Wikipedia: Martha's Vineyard (Wampanoag: Noepe) is an island located south of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, known for being an affluent summer colony. It includes the smaller Chappaquiddick Island, which until 2007 was part of the same land mass before becoming detached by a storm. Often called just "The Vineyard," the island has a land area of 100 square miles (260 km2). It is the 58th largest island in the United States and the third largest on the East Coast of the United States. It is also the largest island not connected to mainland by a bridge or tunnel on the East Coast of the United States. It is located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as a part of Dukes County, which also includes Cuttyhunk, as well as the island of Nomans Land, which is a US Wildlife preserve, and was a US Naval practice bombing range until 1996. The Vineyard was also home to one of the earliest known deaf communities in the United States; consequently, a special sign language, Martha's Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL), developed on the island. The 2010 census reported a year-round population of 16,535 residents; however, the summer population can swell to more than 100,000 people. About 56% of the Vineyard’s 14,621 homes are seasonally occupied. Martha's Vineyard is primarily known as a summer colony, and is accessible only by boat and air. However, its year-round population has grown considerably since the 1960s. A study by the Martha's Vineyard Commission found that the cost of living on the island is 60 percent higher than the national average and housing prices are 96 percent higher. A study of housing needs by the Commission found that the average weekly wage on Martha's Vineyard was “71 per cent of the state average, the median home price was 54 per cent above the state’s and the median rent exceeded the state’s by 17 per cent.” ======================== YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!

Wikipedia notes that “over the course of his career, Pennebaker has studied the nature of physical symptoms, health consequences of secrets, expressive writing, and natural language, and has received grants from the National Science Foundation, The National Institutes of Health, the US Army Research Institute, and other federal agencies for studies in language, emotional and social dynamics.” So there mounting evidence that regular journal writing POSITIVELY impacts your mind, body and spirit! Daily stories of things that happen in your life each day are worth jotting down in a notebook to keep forever. Today we’ll talk about specific topics you can write about and how to organize your thoughts into sections or categories for easy recall. As I discussed in last week’s show...How you can capture your own stories, your joys and sorrows won’t take you more than 20 minutes each day. It’s the basis of my fourth book, My Personal Journal, Chronicle Your Life One Day At A Time. Listen to today’s show and find out how scientific data proves you should journal for long lasting health! =========== About Dr. James Pennebaker Source: Wikipedia James W. Pennebaker (born March 2, 1950) is an American social psychologist. He is the Centennial Liberal Arts Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and a member of the Academy of Distinguished Teachers. His research focuses on the relationship between natural language use, health, and social behavior, most recently "how everyday language reflects basic social and personality processes" Over the course of his career, Pennebaker has studied the nature of physical symptoms, health consequences of secrets, expressive writing, and natural language, and has received grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Army Research Institute, and other federal agencies for studies in language, emotion, and social dynamics. A pioneer of writing therapy, he has researched the link between language and recovering from trauma and been "recognized by the American Psychological Association as one of the top researchers on trauma, disclosure, and health." In particular, he finds a person's use of "low-level words," such as pronouns and articles, predictive of recovery as well as indicative of sex, age, and personality traits: "Virtually no one in psychology has realized that low-level words can give clues to large-scale behaviors." In the mid-1990s, he and colleagues developed the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC; pronounced "Luke"), a computerized text analysis program that outputs the percentage of words in a given text that fall into one or more of over 80 linguistic (e.g., first-person singular pronouns, conjunctions), psychological (e.g., anger, achievement), and topical (e.g., leisure, money) categories. It builds on previous research establishing strong links between linguistic patterns and personality or psychological state, but makes possible far more detailed results than did hand counts.Pennebaker and associates have used this tool to analyze the language of Al Qaeda leaders and of political candidates, particularly in the 2008 United States presidential election. He blogs with associates on what linguistic analysis says about political leaders, at Wordwatchers: Tracking the language of public figures,and Pennebaker Conglomerates, Inc. offers free LIWC-based text analysis tools online, including a language style matching calculator and a language-based application of the Thematic Apperception Test ======================== YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!

But what is it like when four women set a goal to publish a book together? Fun, frenetic and frightening at the same time. That’s a good way to describe the journey that Michelle Porchia (Trumbull, Connecticut), Debra Gould (New Orleans), Nancy Lewis (Atlanta) and I had in crafting our book: Real Women Real Issues: Positive Collaborations For Business Success. And Michelle and Debra join me on today’s show to discuss the value of collaborative partnerships in an ever changing and competitive world. The book is more than a business book. It’s explores the intersection of friendship, faith and collaboration between African American women who dare to dream. From meeting each other more than 15 years ago at a National Speakers Association conference to forming our mastermind group, The Ebony Speakers in 2007, we’ve shared our joys and tragedies with each other, and now in our new book. Listen to this interview and share it with others who dare to dream. It demonstrates how women who live in different parts of the country can support each other, outreach to the marketplace while achieving personal and professional success. ======================= About The Ebony Speakers When your organization needs the very best speaker, trainer or consultant, call on The Ebony Speakers.

It’s the opportunity to meet a kindred spirit along’s life’s journey. That’s what happened to me last September at the conclusion of an industry conference that was held on the grounds of a large Massachusetts fairgrounds. Our conference registration included admissions into the Eastern States Exhibition, one of the largest “tri-state” fairs in the country. I walked around in amazement since I had never attended this event in the 30 years living in the state. Curiosity led me to the exhibit hosted by several self published authors who had formed an association. It’s founder was Gerry Garner, a spry 87 year old retired teacher who still had much to accomplish in life. I joined the association on the spot and opened my world to the wonders of Western Massachusetts. I am honored today to have Gerry and Albert Garner on today’s show. They were sweethearts in their youth, and this week celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary! Gerry is the founder of Authors Selling Books, an association for self published authors based in Springfield, Massachusetts. She has authored a wonderful anthology, Generations Build The Future. Her husband, Albert’s is completing his first book that is due out soon! You’re never too old to start a new chapter in your life....or your book. This show will inspire those ready to reinvent themselves for the holidays and into the New Year. ======================== Your Comments Are Welcome Below... -Carole How To Download Today's Show •Can't listen live???

One of those factors was politics, that dirty little word that often polarizes us whether intentional or not. Our entire planet is impacted by politics and the people who play politics on our behalf. I wrote my book in part to give each reader resources, websites and materials to intelligently decide which political issues matter most in their lives. The book provides a practical guide to understanding diversity, multiculturalism and yes, politics. This week and next we’ll explore the ways that you can develop your own perspective on multiculturalism, keeping politics in clear view. Explore your own political viewpoints in the pages of my new book. This week’s spotlight is on the Republican National Convention that ends tonight with Mitt Romney’s nomination acceptance speech. Listen to my show, buy my book, then watch the convention highlights either live or online later. You hold the key to greater understanding of the intersection of global diversity and politics. --------------------------- Carole’s book can be purchased on Amazon.com or Click Here To Order From This Website ======================== Your Comments Are Welcome Below... -Carole How To Download Today's Show •Can't listen live???
