While society has made some progress in moving beyond gendered workplace barriers, significant barriers remain and women’s progress continues to be slow. Workplace gender equity has even suffered significant setbacks due to the global pandemic and these challenges are even greater for women of colour. Women need to hear from someone who understands their lived experience, has experienced the same very real frustrations, has their backs, and has real strategies to help them get ahead.

This book gets tough facts out in the open so women know what they are up against and then equips them with the support and proven strategies to navigate up, over and around professional barriers to accelerate their own success. It is a candid and personal playbook that ambitious, talented women can turn to for actionable insights on all things professional, with special attention to the unique challenges faced by women of colour.
