This book is written to contribute to the existing discussions about race, racism and racial inequality, discussions that have polarized many societies. It debunks some arguments in “Why Nations Fail” and explains causes of African poverty and the future demise of white supremacy. Many other people have presented arguments that race-based prejudiced persons often use skin colour as a signifier of identity and superiority of race. This illusion has become so deeply entrenched that races such as the Caucasian race, the ‘White Man’, have demonized the dark skin, to the extent that they feel there has never been and will never be a match between the varying skin hues, in the sense that no matter how poor a light-skinned person is or how inefficient they are, the light-skinned person is still better than a successful dark-skinned person or coloured boss. Added to that, skin colour has become a significant trait in the western world to determine who gets employed, who gets convicted, and who gets elected.

Barbers and beauticians are expertly positioned to have a hand on the pulse of their communities—and Barnard the Barber is no exception. Learning from his village as the barber, the author shares those lessons learned on how we can liberate the rural South by building antiracist communities everywhere. This book provides actionable steps that each of us can take, in righteous indignation, to sign our own Emancipation Proclamations! These solutions are formatted into eight postulates in homage to the eight principles of Charlamagne Tha God’s book: Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It. In this book you will learn how to: • create a blueprint for your own life’s divine path; • leverage and utilize the infrastructure of our established hair care networks; • become the bridge of wisdom between our ancestors and our youth today. The author emphasizes that all white people are not evil; it’s just that those who are wicked in America have taken immorality to an unfettered and unmatched extreme. Similarly, not all Republicans are racists, but today’s Republican Party is a perfect place for racists to hide their ideologies. The Southern Awakening will guide you to discovering the true redemption of self-liberation!

These are true stories about war zones, genocide, famines and helping those whose lives have been destroyed by unresolved traumas and tragedies. Overcoming them and living a good life is possible if we rise above our circumstances instead of allowing them to control and devastate us. Vivien gathered these stories during her many years as a Christian aid worker with World Vision, which took her to several African countries as well as Central Australia. She has also worked with victims of domestic violence. Vivien was trained as a nursing sister, midwife, and has a post graduate degree in Health Promotion. This book is for people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is for those on the brink of suicide, those who have given up, those crushed by their experiences. Vivien’s hope is that you too can become resilient and continue life’s journey fulfilled, and at peace within yourself.
