Publisher's Synopsis
No, it's not just you, and you're not tripping!
Let's be honest; the majority of the corporations we're working for weren't founded with us in mind. It is no secret how stressful, challenging, and difficult working in corporate America can be, especially for women of color. But guess what, Sis? You made it, and most of us had to fight really hard to get here. We've worked long hours, continued our education, moved across the country, and made countless sacrifices.
Now, wouldn't it be nice to feel respected, valued, and be equally compensated? Wouldn't it be nice to create more significant contributions toward our careers while navigating workplace stress more effectively? Look no further; help is in your hand. But, first, let's take a deep breath and wooooosah.
