The behind-the-scenes story of a four-year investigation into Andrew
Tate, exploring how a failed reality TV star turned accused organised
criminal managed to become one of the most famous influencers in the
world.
In 2022, Andrew Tate went from a little-known kickboxer and failed
reality TV star to a lifestyle icon for legions of men and boys, and a
figure that would define a new era of misogyny. Tate started the year
as a fringe internet celebrity, but by August he was the most googled
man in the world. In that same month, Matt Shea and Jamie Tahsin gained
access to his Bucharest compound and infamous War Room, making a
documentary that would result in the first women coming forward to
accuse him publicly of sexual and physical violence. Tate would end the
year in a Romanian jail, facing charges of human trafficking, rape and
being part of an organised crime group. But the investigations wouldn't
stop there.
Part Gonzo journalism, part masculinity rabbit hole, this book takes
you on Shea and Tahsin's journey to reveal the dark secrets of Andrew
Tate, the machine that brought him here, and the ideology he has
unleashed on a generation of young men.
Showcasing the work of more than 200 women writers of African descent, this major international collection celebrates their contributions to literature and international culture.
Twenty-five years ago, Margaret Busby’s groundbreaking anthology Daughters Of Africa illuminated the “silent, forgotten, underrated voices of black women” (Washington Post). Published to international acclaim, it was hailed as “an extraordinary body of achievement… a vital document of lost history” (Sunday Times).
New Daughters Of Africa continues that mission for a new generation, bringing together a selection of overlooked artists of the past with fresh and vibrant voices that have emerged from across the globe in the past two decades, from Antigua to Zimbabwe with numerous South African contributors. Key figures join popular contemporaries in paying tribute to the heritage that unites them. Each of the pieces in this remarkable collection demonstrates an uplifting sense of sisterhood, honours the strong links that endure from generation to generation, and addresses the common obstacles women writers of colour face as they negotiate issues of race, gender and class, and confront vital matters of independence, freedom and oppression.
Custom, tradition, friendships, sisterhood, romance, sexuality, intersectional feminism, the politics of gender, race, and identity—all and more are explored in this glorious collection of work from over 200 writers. New Daughters Of Africa spans a wealth of genres—autobiography, memoir, oral history, letters, diaries, short stories, novels, poetry, drama, humour, politics, journalism, essays and speeches—to demonstrate the diversity and remarkable literary achievements of black women.
New Daughters Of Africa features a number of well-known South African contributors including Gabeba Baderoon, Nadia Davids, Diana Ferrus, Vangile Gantsho, Barbara Masekela, Lebogang Mashile and Sisonke Msimang.
You can know a lot about Jesus and not know him at all. We're not
meant to simply know a lot of facts about Jesus. Truly knowing
someone requires personal knowledge coming from being with someone
over time and building trust. Knowing about someone is just the
first step toward truly knowing them. It's the same with God: we
come to know Him personally when we spend time with Him, when we
build trust in Him, when we share our life with Him. Join Megan
Fate Marshman in this eight-week invitation to respond to and
really get to know Jesus in a personal and intimate way. This study
through the Gospel of John will focus on dissecting His seven "I
Am" statements, where we come to learn what Jesus wants us to know
most about His character and love for us. This study guide
includes: Individual access to eight streaming video talks from
Megan Group discussion questions and an opening group activity for
each session In-depth personal Bible study between sessions Reading
plan through the entire Gospel of John Scripture memory cards and
coloring pages The Beautiful Word Bible Study Series helps you
connect God's Word to your daily life through vibrant video
teaching, group discussion, and deep personal study that includes
verse-by-verse reading, Scripture memory, coloring pages, and
encouragement to receive your own beautiful Word from God. In each
study, a central theme-a beautiful word-threads throughout the
book, helping you connect and apply each book of the Bible to your
daily life today, and forever. This study guide has everything you
need for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide

This book examines women's participation in social, economic and
political development in West Africa. The book looks at women from
the premise of being active agents in the development processes
within their communities, thereby subverting the dominate narrative
of women as passive recipients of development.
