Triumph in the Trenches: The Green Book for Black Professionals
You were taught to play the game: work twice as hard, stay quiet, and make it look easy. We've learned to navigate workplaces that were never built with us in mind-performing excellence, shrinking ourselves, and enduring harm just to survive.
