The Overseer's Office
What do you call it when your supervisor tells you she grew up with Klan robes hanging in her father's closet-at work-and her boss calls it personal growth?
You call it Tuesday.
The Overseer's Office follows Sadie, a seasoned professional with decades of excellence and a family legacy of service, through eighteen months of systematic racial discrimination, gaslighting, weaponized fragility, and institutional betrayal. Her supervisor is Karen the Ally-the kind of white woman who reads the books, attends the events, and collects Black friends like evidence of her own goodness. Until you say no. Then the ally becomes the overseer.
Told through the unflinching lens of the American plantation-not as metaphor chosen for shock value, but as the most historically accurate framework available for what is still happening to Black professionals in workplaces across this country-this book names what so many have lived but struggled to articulate.
Sadie fought back. She documented. She stood in the field when everyone else went inside. And she won something real-not perfectly, not completely, but enough to leave a mark on a system that counted on her silence.
This book is for every Black woman who has ever sat in that chair. Who absorbed the lashes. Who kept her record clean. Who did everything right and was treated as though she had not.
You are not alone. What happened to you has a name. And someone finally put it in writing.
