Working While Black:
A Woman's Guide To "Stop Being the Best Kept Secret (R)"
Black women are the highest educated group of employees in the workforce, but continue to earn $0.67 for every dollar a White man earns. And only two Black women hold the coveted position of CEO on the Fortune 500 list. If they are doing all of the right things based on what they are told is required to earn career success, why are they being left behind?

I'm so excited to see this book FINALLY released. The world needs to read this book!
