Description

The pain from discrimination and marginalization led me closer to my purpose of advocacy. I had two choices for responding to what happened to me. I could accept reality and do nothing about the fact that women of color in the workplace will be targeted for abuse and sidelined. My other choice was to use that frustration as a vehicle for warning others and providing tools to navigate those situations. I chose the latter and used this book as therapy to heal from the many years of trauma and prepare others for the journey ahead. Like David in Psalm 34, I sought the Lord, and He answered me, and He saved me amid my troubles. He gave me a way out and a plan to give others insight into what they might encounter and how they could prepare to meet the challenges ahead. "A warning given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen is more valuable than gold rings or jewelry made of the finest gold" (Proverbs 25:12, Good News Bible).
