What kind of advice would you give them to safely navigate the world given today's social climate? In To Black Parents Visiting Earth: Raising Black Children in the 21st Century, Janet Stickmon writes a collection of letters to Black parents visiting Earth on topics ranging from the politics of hair to generational wealth, from education to self-care, offering practical advice on how to raise our Black children to be happy, confident, and resilient. The letters are part memoir, part self-help guide and explore ways we can inoculate our children against self-hatred, strengthen their spirits, and nurture their brilliance against a backdrop of anti-Blackness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/1619991932780-4FVM6Q9COS4OMJEESC6W/Midnight+peaches+cover.jpeg Books - Janet Stickmon’s Midnight Peaches, Two O’clock Patience is a mantra, a spell cast to acknowledge ancestral connection, the multiple gazes upon the female body, and the sexual freedom born from motherhood. This collection of essays, poems, and short stories invites the reader to bear witness to how women touch others and the ways they want to be touched. Midnight Peaches, Two O’Clock Patience disrupts the border separating public and private, human existence and the spirit realm, exposing the beauty of what has been named dirty, shameful, and repulsive. Stickmon reminds us that patience and a listening ear can inspire a woman’s creative power to overflow without warning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/1619992798796-JM205JZUMZFRP9PDNPVK/Screen+Shot+2021-05-02+at+2.39.02+PM.jpeg Books - Crushing Soft Rubies is the place where spirit, culture, and survival meet. It is the story of a Filipino-African-American who is caught between the death of her parents and the desperate need to define herself—not as an orphan, but as a strong woman who is willing to do whatever is necessary to ensure that her past does not become a barrier to her future. From her childhood home being burned to the ground, to the joys and conflicts with her Filipino family, to seeking a connection to her African-American heritage, and then to the beautiful moment of her marriage, Janet navigates the rough waters of love, spirit, identity, and survival, maintaining a life filled with faith and wonder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/1628980515585-JVCCZJIJS242CKCAIR6E/51nd6qWvQNL.jpg Books - Male Strippers as Healers and their Emcee as Griotte examines the 2015 film Magic Mike XXL and focuses on: 1) the multidimensional depictions of the Kings of Tampa and how this humanizes male entertainers, 2) the way the film elevates the performances of male entertainers to the role of healer, and 3) how the emcee’s role is raised to the level of a griot(te), a wise wordsmith singing praises to women, reminding them that they are worthy of having their sexual desires prioritized. https://www.janetstickmon.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/9608ca55-9bd8-4547-9b60-457bb0f753e0/14.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/b2ec9160-620c-4bf5-9c73-374fa46c0c94/13.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/06625779-840d-40a3-b62d-215649e2e130/6.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/f63c655b-24e0-4992-9666-eb876eea6fe2/10.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/a428a01b-b9ee-4ad8-b397-22010e758430/11.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/e87e4d99-4714-45f9-bb70-d1fa8c579c18/12.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/9529998d-aa0e-443d-af04-9bbd332ecd38/1.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/abbc4ab8-eb0e-42b9-95bc-bf085f5a6f73/2.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/f5f4faba-55ce-4863-b675-27af42ce6ea1/3.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/6e790f2b-c221-4f90-84d0-d59e25067887/17.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/2a847dba-c18f-4fe6-9681-dcb19a1c757f/16.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/874086c9-c8a4-41b4-80c7-279b68d2a073/4.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/8bd19a4b-b213-47e6-bf27-df523c26ecd4/5.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/2492b195-37a1-40e9-b3d3-2676fc061fa6/8.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/063c9162-3a61-45b9-aa57-c06d25de742e/9.png TESTIMONIALS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/1619925613577-660WLSH144RQVM36MR8I/IMG_6112.jpeg TESTIMONIALS - "CenterJoyPWR® lays foundation for a practice that needs to be actively incorporated into one’s life. When we realize and truly believe in our own value and power, then we must do all we can to actively be in relationship with ourselves in order to become our best selves. CenterJoyPWR™ recognizes the systemic problems that racialized beings experience in our world, but uses that analysis as a point of departure to help us self-actualize and engage in an ongoing process to heal." -G.T.

This program helps create a deep connection to oneself and also the community of individuals who participate in the program. I personally have gained a better understanding of myself and the moments I face every day as a person of color holding space about race. Janet shared instrumental knowledge, activities, and led exercises that caused us all to reflect deeper on who we are, and to take action for what life we envision for ourselves." -Farzana Nayani DEI Practitioner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/1619988748873-DUYLSVQZMZAA322HTNU1/Bonner%2C+Christopher+Headshot.jpeg TESTIMONIALS - "Before this program, I was lethargic and my cup was running on empty, so my family and friends quickly noticed that my cup was being filled during this program. Session after session, I began to speak with more optimism...Janet Stickmon is a fantastic instructor and I am so thankful that I enrolled in the CenterJoyPWR® program.

I feel more open and curious. I am also having an easier time addressing rather than reacting to situations where I feel micro and macro aggressions...I feel like I have more energy, more curiosity, more joie de vivre.

These gifts allowed me to garner strength in continuing to move forward in my journey...I understood the science behind why my self-care routines were leading me to apathy. The self-reflection activities Janet guided us through help me be able to identify the changes I needed to incorporate in my life to re-center joy in a time of so much loss, hardship, and sadness." -Ambar Hernandez Negrete Ph.D. Candidate in Educational Policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6070b7ad461e0e5001e23525/1633553096352-DWBRXWPP9CFGFSC9TWG9/Claudia+Escobar+%2811-6-18%29_002.jpeg TESTIMONIALS - “As I entered the program, I was feeling exhausted from what felt like fighting with ghosts. The program helped me understand and define these ghosts, making them explicit (so to speak) and also gave me the tools to redirect the energy I was spending fighting and towards building gratitude and abundance.
