More That Just A Flag is the autobiography of Trans Flag creator, trans activist and Navy veteran, Monica F. Helms. Monica’s book details the major events of her life, from childhood through to the book’s publication in 2019. Included are her service in the U.S. Navy as a submariner, and her personal journey to discovering her true self as a trans woman, including the subsequent battles she fought with her civilian employer, Sprint. Helms recalls her creation of the Transgender Pride Flag in 1999, and her donation of the original to the Smithsonian in 2014. Monica details her founding of the Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA) in 2003, where she went on to serve as president for ten years. Along with numerous other examples of her trans activism, including holding Atlanta’s first TDOR event in 2000, Helms recounts lobbying state legislators in Arizona and Georgia, as well as in D.C., and being elected a delegate to the 2004 Democratic National Convention. At times, funny, at others, necessarily sad, More Than Just A Flag is the story of a leader in the fight for transgender acceptance, at a time when the trans community was just coalescing and finding its voice.

America is more diverse than ever before, but, disturbingly, black professionals still face discrimination, bias, and hostility in the workplace. S. K. Chapman has spent years in corporate America and has many stories to share. Some of the stories shared by Chapman will make you laugh out loud, some will make you seethe with anger, but all will make you think. In the beginning of Black Threatening Invisible: My Journey In Corporate America, Chapman recalls a conversation in which a friend expressed concern about his boss’s apathetic attitude toward his professional development. Chapman understood his friend’s frustrations well; as a black professional, Chapman has experienced the entire spectrum of bias and disparate treatment in the workplace. Some of the situations Chapman describes would be humorous on their own, but the absurdities that minorities in the workplace face quickly accumulate and become overwhelming, revealing deep-seated and unsettling patterns. Black Threatening Invisible contains insights for people on every step of the career ladder. Whether you are a recent graduate encountering workplace bias and hostility for the first time, a manager examining the microaggressions exhibited by your employees, or an HR professional wanting to increase the hiring and retention of black talent, S. K. Chapman has valuable wisdom that will benefit you.

Not all of them set out to change the world, but some of them managed to do just that. Not even legendary announcer Ernie Harwell knew the intrigue that lead to his brutal and disastrous dismissal--the full story is presented here for the first time. How did the coolest-of-cool novelist Elmore Dutch Leonard find his voice and create those just-off-center bad guys and capture that street-smart dialogue? Haney takes readers inside the minds of these and more than a dozen other notable Michigan figures, people like Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the zealot who elevated the issue of assisted suicide. And Academy Award-winning Sue Marx, automotive genius Ed Cole, the three visionary men who built the Palace and the championship Pistons, and many more men and women who made a difference. Haney reveals the motivations and the passions of people--some prominent, some scarcely known--who made decisions and took actions that had impacts that reverberated far beyond the borders of the state.
