Sold outAirrelle of the Maroon Witches
Kiki's Delivery Service meets Black Panther in this middle grade fantasy set in a richly imagined world where once-enslaved people have built an enchanted network of hidden witch communities. Anyone can become a witch in Missen Dessalin. If you can find the Missen, that is. Some say the whole reason it was called a "Missen" is because it was a gathering place for those who wanted to stay missin'. Twelve-year-old Airrelle Bookman, born and raised in Missen Dessalin by two witch parents, has been waiting for magic to call to her for years now. She just has to secure her four patron animals, complete four rites, master four skills, and pass the initiation ceremony. Then she'll be a fully confirmed maroon witch, able to fly beyond the walls of the Missen as she pleases. Just like her parents, older siblings, and best friend Hosniya. When the time for her trial finally seems to arrive, so do familial troubles and threats to the very safety and secrecy of Missen Dessalin itself. But an ordinary girl from beyond the protected walls of Missen, one who has grown up in our own tumultuous and unenchanted world, may just be the key to Airrelle's troubles. Informed by the history of maroon societies and inspired by the fantasy worlds of Studio Ghibli, Airrelle of the Maroon Witches is a beautiful coming of age story about a shy but resourceful girl discovering her own power.

Leadership Labyrinth: Women Navigating Power and Purpose in a Changing World
A Compass Guiding Women through the Labyrinth of Life
The Leadership Labyrinth is not a roadmap to the corner office--it's a compass for women navigating the winding journey of leadership. This journey is not a neat ladder of promotions and accolades, but rather a labyrinth of bold choices, resilience, and reinvention.
Through powerful storytelling and practical exercises, Jade offers more than reflection. She equips women with tools to pause, recenter, and move forward with intention. Her signature "Endeavors" illuminate the challenges women in the C-suite from global brands like Rare Beauty, JP Morgan Chase, and ESPN, have faced, including the weight of being "the only" in the room, the tension of balancing ambition with family, and the sting of being underestimated.
Whether you are building a career, navigating a pivot, raising a family, or finding your place in spaces not built for you, this book affirms that you deserve a seat at the table. Your path, however winding, is not a detour. It is the way.
The Leadership Labyrinth is a companion for every season of leadership: climbing, resting, rebuilding, or rising again. It is both permission and provocation to lead with a full heart, to reimagine the rooms we enter, and to leave a legacy not just in titles, but in the lives we influence and touch.
