From an ordinary hood life to an extraordinary good life... Featuring Black Expressions Bestselling author Karen Williams, along with Brandi Johnson and Iniko, this book will have readers consumed with emotion. But before it all even begins, National Bestselling author, Kiki Swinson, holds no punches in her introduction to what is sure to be the journey of a lifetime. Edited by award winning author E. N. Joy, Even Sinners Still Have Souls hits readers hard in the gut with its twisted, edge of the seat storylines and plots. The characters draw the readers into their, often times, strange and distorted worlds. With conflict and tension so high, the reader is almost forced to mentally endure the same daily struggles as some of the characters. Even Sinners Still Have Souls goes beyond the typical love, power and respect. It branches off into a new dimension as characters try to go from just living the hood life, to living the good life. It's one of those few books sure to leave an imprint in the reader's mind, footsteps on their soul and a message in their heart.

With one life to live, and a nothing-else-to-lose attitude, Zenetta Henchman speaks more than she listens and refuses to take orders quietly. With a strong personality and wisdom beyond her young years because of what she’s experienced, after witnessing a fatal incident that both rocks and divides her community of Buzzardville, Alabama, Zenetta finds it difficult to hold her tongue. But harder not to, even after suffering—and watching others suffer—from the consequences of doing so. 
Following a string of deliberate attacks against Zenetta and the people she cares about, especially Tootsie, the free-spirted, colorful personality that paints a different picture of the world in Zenetta’s eyes, tribal tensions flare. The flare turns into an all-out explosion after Zenetta’s father, the only Black officer on the force, chooses the wrong side of the law when the community, but more importantly when Zenetta, needs him most. It’s not long after her father’s betrayal that Zenetta soon discovers there is always a price to be paid when those who could speak up choose to remain silent. 
The Price We Pay is an unforgettable reading experience that fictionalizes the humanity, injustices, and social prejudice of our time. The emotional drama, trauma, and tension that conflicts—and often torments—Zenetta is so well translated by author Nikki T. Anthony from the pages to your soul, making Zenetta’s reality yours, this story leaves you asking yourself what price you are willing to pay for silence . . . or for speaking up.

Turn Bias into an Asset Rather Than a Liability When people understand why their biases exist and the positive side of it, they can leverage their biases to work for - instead of against - them, deploying the four keys to overcoming bias: S)ervice: Bringing a sincere desire to serve into every interactionE)mpathy: Trying to see things as others doE)mpowerment: Looking for ways to support others in their efforts and growthN)egotiation: Working toward win-win solutions that benefit everyone involved This study guide, a companion to the novel, The Price We Pay by Nikki T. Anthony, offers practical examples of the B.E. S.E.E.N. principles at work. It uses chapter one of the IBPA (Independent Book Publishers Association) Benjamin Franklin Awards winning book as the foundation to help you better understand bias, how it impacts your interpersonal relationships and communities, and then to formulate plans to counteract bias where necessary. While The Price We Pay is fiction, the experiences outlined in its pages are pulled from real life. Every person in these pages is impacted, in one way or another, by their own B.I.A.S. and the B.I.A.S. of those around them. It's our hope that as you work through this study guide you can begin to recognize the impact of B.I.A.S. wherever it appears in your life so you can Take the L.E.A.D. in deciding how you want to handle it rather than reacting and responding to what others say and do. Please Note: When you purchase a digital copy of this guide, we recommend the use of a journal or notebook to record your responses to the activities and prompts. If permitted by the retailer you purchased the digital copy from, the publisher grants a one-time license to print the guide for easier access to the prompt spaces.
