Three women. Three decades. The friendship of a lifetime.
'Fast-paced, glamorous, and bursting with emotion, Dele Weds Destiny is a thrilling debut. The bonds between women - as friends, and across the generations - are the jewels that make this story shine!' Tayari Jones
'Obaro writes beautifully about the complicated labour of friendship and parentage. Dele Weds Destiny explores caregiving as a kind of deferment, but also as discovery, of desire, of fury, of home' Raven Leilani

As the mystery grows and the plot thickens, Grayson and Jameson, the enigmatic and magnetic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull Avery in different directions. And there are threats lurking around every corner, as adversaries emerge who will stop at nothing to see Avery out of the picture - by any means necessary.
With nonstop action, aspirational jet-setting, family intrigue, swoonworthy romance, and billions of dollars hanging in the balance, The Hawthorne Legacy will thrill Jennifer Lynn Barnes fans and new readers alike.

Pandashuka By Timothy O. Sumba
“Nikumbukapo mashaka tipitipi yaliyoizonga familia yetu naamini kuwa ulimwengu umefurika malimwengu ya kila nui ambayo hukingama mbele ya walimwengu maishani na kusababisha pandashuka. Kama barabara ndefu ilivyo safari ya Maisha haikosi mabonde, vilima, milima, tambarare na kona. Je. Ni gurufu gani isiyokuwa na gurufu? Kwa bahati njema mawimbi ya safari ngumu hayadumu maishani, huisha namna Maisha yenyewe yanavyoisha.
Baadhi ya Pandashuka ni furaha na huzuni, raha karaha, vicheko na vilio, utajiri na umaskini, shibe na njaa, amani na vita, afya njema na maradhi, upendo na chuki n ahata shwari na shari namna wasemavyo wengine. Kimsingi, pandashuka hutusambazia ama utulivu au uchungu nzima unaozaa jakomoyo sufufu. Je, ni nani asiyejua kuwa painamapo ndipo painukapo?”
"Ni riwaya ya kitawasifu inayomfahamisha msomaji kutalii katika usimulizi aula uliosukwa kwamba ni mlo wa kisanaa kwa kukolezwa mbinu kemkem za sanaa. Mwandishi aliyetopia na kugharika ukwasi wa lugha ameyatumia maneno ya kawaida namna isiyo ya kawaida ili kuukamilisha ubunifu usio na kifani. Mwandishi huyu mahiri amesimulia visa tele vinavyoingiliana na kuunda taswira halisi za pandashuka katika jamii..." Tahakiki ya Fatma Ali Mohamed(Zanzibar)

Team Emotional Intelligence 2.0: The ...
As organizations shift to depend more on team-based structures, the pressure to develop high-performing teams is more critical than ever. In the modern work environment, teams are expected to embrace change, navigate complexity, and collaborate well under pressure ―all while delivering exceptional results and forming productive relationships.
While it is crucial to have talented, bright people within a team, there is a dynamic that is even more essential to overall team effectiveness. This dynamic is “Team Emotional Intelligence” (Team EQ). While most people are familiar with emotional intelligence (EQ) when it comes to individuals, the power of how EQ relates to the entire team has not been well-understood until now.
Insights from the latest research on team emotional intelligence and TalentSmartEQ’s research trends from working with over 200 teams (with 2000+ team members) combine to bring EQ know-how to the team level. Team Emotional Intelligence 2.0 delivers practical strategies and showcases how an emotionally intelligent team is far more than the sum of its parts. This book focuses on the four key skill areas of Team EQ: Team Emotion Awareness, Team Emotion Management, Internal Team Relationships, and External Team Relationships, and it delivers 53 strategies and a step-by-step process for increasing team EQ skills so team leaders and anyone who’s a member of a team can achieve peak performance and reach their goals.
Dr. Greaves, Evan Watkins, and their contributing team of experts begin with a life and death story of team failure that illustrates how emotions can drive team decisions and lead to disaster. They share a proven approach to helping teams understand Team EQ skills, build these skills into strengths, and use them to sustain positive momentum and achieve peak performance. Strategies for remote and hybrid teams working virtually offer targeted approaches to bonding, communicating, tough conversations, and decision making as modern workplaces transform. Like she did with the best-selling Emotional Intelligence 2.0 (at 2 million copies sold and counting), Dr. Greaves and her team take complex concepts and translate them into easy-to-understand skills that can be used immediately and developed further over time. As organizations increasingly rely on getting work done through teams, the understanding and development of team EQ skills is more relevant and impactful than ever.

What Others Say
“The play captures happenings in devolved units in Kenya. Poor governance, mass corruption, and leaders’ amassing of wealth for themselves, is evident. The playwright creates the content anew and makes it sensitive to the society again as these issues have been taken as obvious and normal.” – Rose Keya Kong’ani, Editor
This Red Land: A novel

“This novel expertly transports the readers across continents, decades and cultures. The characters’ lives are nicely interwoven in this real-world novel.” - Rich Green, retired professor of comparative literature.
“In this moving sequel to his novels Malaika, Salted With Fire, and Kwamboka’s Inquiry, Dobrin weaves a riveting, tragic tale bridging the lives of his richly developed characters in New York and Kenya across decades marked by violent political and social upheavals. From the red soils of Kenya, to the red of blood spilled, to the red of political ideology, This Red Land presents timeless themes of love, struggle, and yearning for justice in a carefully crafted, wise, and deeply human work of richly detailed historical fiction.” - Colleen Eren, sociologist.
Enriching. Enjoyably Complex. Bravo!
