I Am A Black Man: Ascension of the Kings explores the realities of black men in America and the misconceptions that exist related to how they interact with their children, partners, and how they internalize the difficulties they've faced navigating the stereotypes that are part of the national narrative. The story is told from the perspective of eight black men who share their personal stories. Ascension of the Kings references their ability to rise above these forces while maintaining a place of leadership.

Each poem in this book was written after I experienced difficulty. Humiliating situations and other challenging encounters have caused me great pain. I believe in life if you do not pass a test, you may find yourself retaking it. Learning the lessons life has for me means I am constantly praying and reading my Bible so that I will not be stagnant. These poems represent the highs and lows of my journey and the many things I have learned along the way. I have counted it all joy and come out on the other side victorious. I want to share my walk with you in the hope that you, too, will move toward your destiny and be everything God has created you to be.

Inspired by her late friend who hid much of her art in her attic, and the stories of her writer and artist friends, Nitza Agam has compiled the truth behind what drives women writers and artists to express their creativity. What are the struggles, the obstacles, and the triumphs and joys? All reside in this diverse collection of women who have known, some from an early age, the need to create using words or images or both. They may have realized this while pursuing another path, or knew as children, the higher calling of documenting their lives, or expressing their inner selves. Nitza Agam kept journals since the age of eight, while Gretchen Butler knew when her children were toddlers that the kitchen actually was an artist’s inspiration. Marlene Shikegawa knew as a young Japanese American girl the joy of seeing her drawings on a bulletin board at school and feeling “seen” for the first time. That moment of being seen, no longer invisible, drew these women to trace their “origin” stories.

Community & Culture

In my parents’ generation, most people had one or two jobs during their working lives. Today, the average is twelve. I had fifty! I started by delivering newspapers by bicycle and I ended sixty years later delivering career advice by Zoom. In between, I was a furniture mover, beer vendor, and Good Humor man. As an agricultural worker, I was a part of the most successful and longest lasting communal experiment of the twentieth century, the Israeli kibbutz. I was a community worker and social science researcher. I served in the most inept unit of one of the most elite branches of the Israel Defense Forces. I was a college teacher, a labor educator, and a freelancer who sometimes juggled as many as six jobs at the same time. I had the fun experience of working with writers, actors, and stand-up comedians in the unlikeliest place: JPMorgan Chase. I had some jobs that I was great at and others where I abysmally failed. I worked with and for some characters, scoundrels and even out-and-out crooks who stole millions of dollars from an organization devoted to helping poor people. I worked for incompetent managers, abusive managers and great managers.\nBut for the most part, I worked with wonderful, supportive colleagues, many of whom remain lifelong friends. My work brought me into contact with celebri ties like Ossie Davis, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Danny Kaye, Teddy Kollek, Michael Moore, and Chuck Schumer. I witnessed discrimination against groups of people and was personally discriminated against by a most unlikely source. Like many other people, my career was impacted by great social and historical events like the Vietnam War, a war in the Middle East, 9/11, the bank merger and downsizing era, the recession of 2008 and the pandemic. I have dealt with ethical issues like benefiting from nepotism, teaching in a religious school as an atheist, and advising students at Columbia University on how to get jobs on Wall Street during the day while attending the Occupy Wall Street demonstration in the evening.\nThrough my own work experience and as a career advisor for Russian immigrants, Orthodox Jews, and college students from the U.S. and dozens of other countries, I have encountered just about every work-related problem, so the book offers practical job search and career development advice. I think you’ll find it to be interesting, informative, entertaining, sad, poignant, uplifting and funny.
