Hi! My name is Lucas Anderson, and moving to Pinewood was a big change for me—not the good kind either. Everything seemed to be going wrong…until I discovered baseball. The game brought new challenges, but I wasn’t alone. Dad, a former Navy SEAL, taught me to be brave and keep trying no matter what. And Mom (a genius) was always there, teaching me tricks to level up.

Publisher's summary
Racial profiling. Queer unacceptance. Deportation fears.
Exclusion, exclusion, exclusion... When a pair of dedicated educators begin to grow disillusioned with the failures of the traditional education system, they decide to take matters into their own hands...
Cue, Diversity Dawn Academy!
It is a day like any other in Ridgeview City, California—and to Benjamin Diamonds and Sarah Mitchell, that's not okay.
Combined decades worth of experience in the academe have shown them the things only students of marginalized groups have gone through: oppression, slurs, name-calling, beatings, and ostracization, all on account of things beyond their control. For the longest time, they felt the need to correct the situation but had no idea how to go about it...
Until a chance encounter unites Benjamin and Sarah, and everything changes. For the first time, they meet someone who shares their hunger for reform, enkindling a fire in their hearts.
Following a long, weary process laced with skepticism, harsh words, and communal backlash, they successfully establish an alternative education program. They encounter ups and downs, thicks and thins, but Diversity Dawn Academy and its students rise above them against all odds!
And as for Benjamin and Sarah, the unspoken feelings brewing between them soon become clear...

Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Disillusioned by the failures of the traditional education system, these educators are driven by their shared experiences and desire for reform.

The story not only highlights the triumphs and struggles of building the academy but also subtly weaves in a romantic subplot as the bond between Benjamin and Sarah grows stronger. With a powerful message of hope and change, it underscores the importance of advocacy, allyship, and the impact of education in fostering social justice.

Powerful!
This story of Benjamin and Sarah is so moving. The topics covered here are relevant and deep-exclusion and hate. When these two set their minds to creating an academy to teach against these principals, it gets emotional. Our system is definitely broken and this listen takes you down a new world of possibilities to be better,
