A Letter from the Author: Why I Wrote This Book
My new book, Unapologetically You book, has officially launched! This transformative guide empowers Black women to break barriers, embrace their identity, and thrive professionally and personally.
We are living in a pivotal time. Black women continue to be the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the U.S. (Kauffman Foundation, 2023), but we also face unique challenges in professional spaces. Microaggressions, pay gaps, and systemic inequities remain barriers. Yet, our resilience and ingenuity are rewriting the narrative. Unapologetically You is my contribution to this movement—a guide to thriving unapologetically in every area of life.
Why Unapologetically You Is Timely and Relevant
- Breaking Barriers in Professional Spaces:
- Despite progress, Black women hold only 4% of executive roles in Fortune 500 companies (Catalyst, 2023).
- This book provides strategies to navigate workplace stereotypes with confidence and build leadership skills.
- Addressing Financial Disparities:
- The median wealth of single Black women in the U.S. is just $200, compared to $15,640 for single white women (Prosperity Now, 2022).
- I share actionable steps to build financial independence, from budgeting to creating multiple income streams, empowering readers to close the wealth gap.
- Prioritizing Holistic Wellness:
- Black women are disproportionately affected by stress-related health issues, with studies linking racial discrimination to higher rates of hypertension and anxiety (American Psychological Association, 2023).
- Through journaling prompts, affirmations, and wellness practices, I help readers prioritize mental, physical, and emotional health.
- Celebrating Black Identity:
- This book challenges the erasure of our unique contributions and encourages readers to embrace cultural pride.
- In a world that often demands conformity, Unapologetically You is a rallying cry to live authentically.
