I’m Yelling about this Amazing book!

This book put language to the many experiences I’ve had as a Black woman, navigating corporate spaces…in Canada! A
testament that these experiences and stories cross borders and oceans.

Elizabeth’s vulnerability, truth telling and reflective questions at the end of each chapter…offer a valuable perspective that we ALL can grow from.

Lastly - Zoleka Vundla’s voice was the perfect choice to deliver this message. Smooth & Powerful at the same time!

Thank you Elizabeth Leiba. You’ve ignited something in me. You’ve help validate my experiences. You’ve empowered my voice.
Ase.

Quietly speaking truth for all of us

Brilliant intermixing of academic research and personal story. While the stats are specific to the author's American context, the information and discussion still reasonate with experiences of women of colour, and Black women in particular, across the diaspora.

One phrase that really resonated with me is Leiba's discussion of Imposter Treatment not Imposter Syndrome. Talk about an "aha moment"

Great book, highly recommend.

Every black person should read this!!

This book resonates with me on so many levels, as a black man working in predominantly white spaces, has a husband who sees the impact that of the challenges my black wife faces. Most importantly, as a black father who sees the sadness in my black daughter’s eyes as she experiences confusion, anxiety, and depression simple because she is black. Thank you Elizabeth for speaking the truth that so many others are not able to.

Unapologetic Black Women Roadmap

Such a amazing roadmap! It give Black women the tool to recognize their own experience with lucidity and find ways to heal while using our systemic challenges and identity as strength to empower ourselves and thrive in the environment we exist in and the ones we are creating to exist in. It’s a roadmap for Black women to break free from misogynoir at the rythme of our ever changing unapologetic beautiful hairdo.
