Introducing Masters of Vibe

By Jodie Spartz
 Introducing the Book  Masters of Vibe Let’s be real: daily stress, chaotic expectations, and constant noise are hitting our youth harder than ever. But what if you had the ultimate psychological armor to stay completely unbothered when life gets hectic?" Well that's what we've developed, as a mental health professional, and alongside with my associate—hip-hop scholar Tony Hotep—we co-created Master Your Vibe.

"Steal Away, Steal Away..." (Book 25)

By Jodie Spartz

For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in. My best friend asked if I could write something that focused on the history of black Americans. I asked Tony Hotep for a recommendation for this project. And he gave me this book. It's more like a detailed information pamphlet that holds historical information about the Underground Railroad. I found it interesting and it definitely got a rise out of my emotions .  I also wrote and published 8 books check them out here:  https://www.lulu.com/search?sortBy=RELEVANCE&page=1&q=Jodie+Spartz&pageSize=10&adult_audience_rating=00 Author:     New Jersey Historical Commission Title:     "Steal Away, Steal Away..."
