Book Description
EasyTalk is designed to help many millions of yearly visitors (business and pleasure) to the United States, the many business owners throughout the World who want to take part in the giant U.S. economy, the slightly over 1 million new legal immigrants to the U.S. every year and the millions of resident professionals from the last dozen years or more. Many formerly foreign medical folks in the one of the World’s largest Medical Centers, for example, who asked me to compile a book so they can at least enjoy going to the grocery store, do other shopping or their jobs better. Underlying EasyTalk is the little understood Science of Phonology (hearing and listening) expressed in common, simplified language to achieve these goals. The book’s area of phonology focuses on short and long sounds of our alphabets vowels as they modify conversation syllables in talking or listening to others.

Book Description
His Love Endures Forever is an easy-to-read autobiography. Starting at birth, it's a compelling (sometimes heart-wrenching) true story about a young girl's journey as she grows into her adolescent years and into womanhood. Because she came from a broken home, she was trying to find love and validation in all the wrong worldly places. Before becoming a Christian, she continually jumped into situations without thinking things through or taking into consideration the consequences of her actions. She repeatedly made the same mistakes while she was caught up in recurring vicious cycles. While becoming a Christian, she had so many overwhelming problems in her life that she called a prayer line one day. The prayer line partner suggested that she start reading Psalms 91 every day for protection. She recommended that Melanie write down a list of her problems and turn it all over to Jesus. Melanie took her advice and made the list. She surrendered all of her problems over to Jesus. She laid her list down at Jesus feet and turned everything over to him. The Lord heard her prayers and removed every problem off of the list one by one. His Love Endures Forever includes amazing victories, testimonies, quoted scriptures, authors thoughts and comments. His Love Endures Forever consists of real-life adventures, trials and errors, answered prayers, her spiritual experiences and visitations. The book also includes the challenges of her life's struggles. Her story reveals her weaknesses, hardships, soul ties, broken relationships, and failed marriages. It was a humbling learning process before she learned how to acquire patience and wisdom from the Lord. The book includes the process that it took before, during, and after becoming a born-again Christian. It covers the events and situations in her life that only the Lord could have removed and pulled her out of. God was on the move closing doors and opening new doors. As she turns her life over to the Lord, she realizes that He was with her throughout her entire journey of life. As she reflects back on her life, she discovers how many times there were proven signs, wonders, and even miracles along the way. If it wasn't for the grace of God, his protective covering, and his anointing upon her life, she's not sure that she could have survived. Jesus filled the void within her heart while becoming a born-again Christian and developing her relationship with Jesus Christ. It was because of her love, faith, and putting her trust in God, along the way, that she finally discovers who she truly is and whose she truly is in Christ Jesus.

As a brown immigrant from Mexico, assimilation had been demanded of her since the moment she set foot in San Antonio, Texas, in 1994. She’d spent so much time getting rid of her accent so no one could tell English was her second language that in that moment she felt those words—you sound like a white girl?—were a compliment. As a child, she didn’t yet understand that assimilating to “American” culture really meant imitating “white” America—that sounding like a white girl was a racist idea meant to tame her, change her, and make her small. She ran the race, completing each stage, but never quite fit in, until she stopped running altogether. In this dual polemic and manifesto, Julissa dives into and tears apart the lie that assimilation leads to belonging. She combs through history and her own story to break down this myth, arguing that assimilation is a moving finish line designed to keep Black and brown Americans and immigrants chasing racist American ideals. She talks about the Lie of Success, the Lie of Legality, the Lie of Whiteness, and the Lie of English—each promising that if you obtain these things, you will reach acceptance and won’t be an outsider anymore. Julissa deftly argues that these demands leave her and those like her in a purgatory—neither able to secure the power and belonging within whiteness nor find it in the community and cultures whiteness demands immigrants and people of color leave behind. In You Sound Like a White Girl, Julissa offers a bold new promise: Belonging only comes through celebrating yourself, your history, your culture, and everything that makes you uniquely you. Only in turning away from the white gaze can we truly make America beautiful. An America where difference is celebrated, heritage is shared and embraced, and belonging is for everyone. Through unearthing veiled history and reclaiming her own identity, Julissa shows us how to do this.
