Recommendation

Women of color face a unique mix of challenges in the workplace, both external and internal. When striving to get ahead in their careers, they can have difficulty unpacking the relationship between the bias and discrimination they face, their internalized limiting beliefs, and the imperfect coping strategies they develop to survive. In her empowering book, Chilean-born immigrant Daniela Pierre-Bravo provides emotional insight and practical tools to help women of color summon the strength to assert themselves professionally and demand equity.

Take-Aways

  • ​​​​​​The rules women of color follow to fit in can undermine their ability to lead, influence and exert power.
  • Pierre-Bravo’s upbringing taught her to hide parts of her identity, as a means of achieving psychological safety.
  • “Limiting beliefs” result in internal, self-imposed constraints.
