Dr. Khandicia N. Randolph’s New Book, “The Black American Church” Explores the Black Church’s Influence on Black American Culture Identity, Leadership, and Progression


Columbia, MO, May 22, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Fulton Books author Dr. Khandicia N. Randolph has completed her most recent book, “The Black American Church: Leadership Dispensation and Challenges”: a compelling and eye-opening read that takes a look at the ways in which Black churches provide influence in the cultural identity of Black Americans, and how the leadership issues often have rippling impacts outside of the church.

A native of the south side of Chicago, author Dr. Khandicia N. Randolph obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Missouri and holds a degree in Master of Public Administration with a specialization in Public Policy, a degree in Master of Arts in Law from Regent University’s School of Law, and her Doctor of Strategic Leadership degree from Regent University, School of Business and Leadership. Dr. Randolph presents domestically and internationally on effective communication and leadership development and is a published textbook author and in academic journals and a prolific speaker. Her research interests include leadership and organizational development and theoretical constructs, especially the mitigating effects of race and culture. Pursuing her passion for leadership development and organizational development and effectiveness, the author has a yearning to help nonprofit organizations. In her spare time, Dr. Randolph enjoys traveling internationally, shopping, and spending time with her family and friends. Dr. Randolph is a Life Member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.

“The purpose of this book seeks to examine the leadership of the Black church through a critical and theoretical lens utilizing historical and anthropological foci to better identify and understand some of the challenges within the paramount institution and its attrition to the Black American community at large and provide appropriate suggestions and generating frameworks for addressing the challenges,” writes Dr. Randolph. “The church has always played a pivotal role in Black American culture’s identity, development, and progression. Leadership and organizational challenges within the church pervasively matriculate to other Black spaces, historically Black organizations, and a broader societal context. Due to the church’s historical and ethnographic context for Blacks in America, many of the challenges faced in the church go unrecognized, unspoken, thus unattended. This manuscript endeavors to identify the challenges, and flaws through research and data, to provide solutions through practical and theoretical implementations to some shortcomings for the betterment of the church and culture.”

Published by Fulton Books, Dr. Khandicia N. Randolph’s book examines how the interconnectedness of culture and religion for Black Americans established a gargantuan impact factor on the church and its leaders, and what the pervading effects of the church’s influence through leadership dispensation are.

Thought-provoking and enlightening, Dr. Randolph’s writings will explore the understanding of leadership through the lens of Black Christianity and how leadership in the Black community was primarily restricted by the influence of the church across nearly five hundred years of history and culture of Black Americans.

Readers who wish to experience this riveting work can purchase “The Black American Church: Leadership Dispensation and Challenges” at select bookstores, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks postponed its debut, a founding XM executive has released a memoir about the satellite radio company’s launch. "They Pay for Water: Building XM Satellite Radio from a Paper Concept to Millions of Subscribers," by Dan Murphy, went on sale August 17 in ebook, paperback and hardcover, according to the announcement.

The company was set to launch its inaugural U.S. satellite radio service on September 12, 2001, in the Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego markets. Murphy and the executive team flew out of Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of September 11, per the announcement. The launch was pushed back, going live September 25 and expanding nationally by that November.

After joining Sony as a 24-year-old with minimal prior experience, Murphy spent 15 years helping to capitalize, build, and launch XM’s satellite infrastructure, create its receivers, and establish distribution channels in retail and automotive sectors., the announcement states. "After Walkman, Discman, I was looking to join the next big audio innovation when a recruiter called," Murphy said. "It sounded perfect. It was going to be radio the way it should be."

The volume addresses the company’s funding rounds, satellite deployment, distribution challenges across retail and automotive channels, programming strategy, customer economics, multiple Chapter 11 threats, and its ultimate acquisition by Sirius., according to the announcement. "We had spent years getting ready for the biggest launch of our careers, and then the country stopped," Murphy said. "For weeks afterward, I did not know whether anyone would still care about satellite radio."

Positioned as both corporate history and personal narrative, the book targets audiences seeking insight into the construction of major consumer-facing ventures requiring substantial capital investment. — a framing the announcement ties to ongoing debates in the audio industry over subscription economics. It is Murphy’s first book and is available now on Amazon.

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

Author Tagore Almeida’s new book, “SALIGIA: The Evil Is Outside. The War Is Within.,” is now available on Amazon, according to the announcement promoting the release.

The title is not invented for the book. SALIGIA is a centuries-old Latin mnemonic device used in Christian theology to remember the seven deadly sins: Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed), Luxuria (lust), Invidia (envy), Gula (gluttony), Ira (wrath) and Acedia (sloth). The sins themselves never appear as an explicit list in the Bible; the grouping developed within early Christian tradition, drawing on scattered biblical passages, and the acronym became a memory aid for clergy and laypeople alike. The announcement itself does not spell out this connection, though it’s central to how the book’s central conceit works.

Where the traditional mnemonic catalogs vices, Almeida’s book inverts it: according to the announcement, the story is structured as a journey through a symbolic ancestral dwelling with separate rooms, each embodying different virtues rather than sins — courage, compassion, humility, integrity, forgiveness, reverence and love. Other promotional material describes the book as a mythological fantasy following characters named Salem and Medea on a quest against the forces the title names, and credits the release to publisher The Alcove Publishers, which has described the book as blending mythology, self-reflection and mystery.

The announcement frames the project as “a fusion of mythological elements, spiritual themes, philosophical inquiry, and personal exploration,” built around the idea that readers already possess the virtues the book examines, rather than seeking them from external sources.

The book is currently listed for sale on Amazon under Almeida’s author page.
