When Jussie Smollett took Bola Osundairo under his wing, grooming him for greater roles in Hollywood, the UNTHINKABLE happens...
Bola Osundairo couldn't believe his luck when actor, Jussie Smollett, took an interest in him. He barely knew the man when he was hired to be an extra on the hit show Empire. Within a short time, thanks to Jussie's assistance, Bola became a stand-in. His star was on the rise.
Ola Osundairo became an extra on Empire before Bola. Soon he was in a picture with the creator of the show that was posted on Instagram. His acting career was blasting off.
When Jussie asks for a favor, Bola is only too happy to help. At first, when he heard Jussie's plan, he thought it was a joke. Why would Jussie need someone to attack him? Jussie assured him this was normal in Hollywood. When Jussie asked if Bola knew of someone who could help, Bola knew his brother Ola would be perfect.
Soon Bola and Ola find themselves outcasts in Hollywood, dropped by a major casting agency, and their lives totally turned upside down.
Who are Ola and Bola Osundairo? They are so much more than the 'attackers' in Jussie's hoax. Get to know the American-Nigerian brothers. Their lives are an open book. Find out why Jussie knew Bola would agree to help him before he ever asked him to.
The truth of this hoax comes to light through text messages and emails. Never before seen evidence removes all doubt of what happened that night and explains why Bola and Ola agreed to take on this role. Was Jussie really trying to help the Osundairo brothers, or was he preparing them for the acting role that would prevent them from ever acting again?
Laboratories of Autocracy walked through the hidden breadth, depth, and intensity of the countrywide attack on democracy. The final chapters outlined thirty steps necessary to fight back. One of the most common responses from readers was-I skipped to the end. I wanted to get to the solutions.
Saving Democracy is the companion book that skips to the end:
-It details how we all can and must play a role in saving democracy at this fraught time.
-It explains how all levels of the pro-democracy side, from national political leaders to grassroots activists to everyday Americans, must switch to offense.
-It explains how to stay on offense and win on offense. Immediately, and everywhere.
But it doesn't do this at 30,000 feet.
It's a user's manual, intended to spur action. Your action. After a quick review of the true battle for democracy we are engaged in, each chapter explains how YOU, the reader, can and must play the leading role in lifting democracy. It details the concrete steps individuals and groups can take where you live, lists resources that can help along the way, and offers case studies and best practices that have worked elsewhere.
Saving Democracy is structured to challenge and guide each reader-no matter your role in your community or politics or where you work-on how you each can play a more active and effective role in lifting democracy than you might have imagined. Over the course of the book, you will construct your own personal plan to fight for democracy. And when you're finished, you'll be ready to get to work.
Safety. It's a basic human need, a workplace right, a misunderstood concept with situational importance, and a challenging word to apply. It's also a science.

Reading and applying the insights from this book will make you, your team, and your organization safer.
There's no doubt that law enforcement comes with its immense stress.

With a mixture of stoic aphorisms and personal stories, The Stoic Cop explains how it is possible to handle the daily stress and chaos of law enforcement with a little mind control. Learn to bridge the gap between police and citizen relationships, deal with difficult people, navigate department politics, and more. Learn to control your perceptions, opinions, and emotions and become a better, more virtuous police officer. Most importantly, control your perceived chaos.
