Synopsis

I'm Not Yelling is part strategy for savvy black business women navigating a predominantly white corporate America and part vessel empowering black women to find their voices in toxic work environments and be successful business women.

Statistical and anecdotal evidence guide the way. Explore the data and hear the accounts of Black women in business who face, work through, and rise above workplace discrimination.

Finding your voice as women entrepreneurs. Successful business women use their voice to become strong Black leaders who instill positive change in the workplace culture.

In I'm Not Yelling, you'll find:

● A narrative study of possible pitfalls, such as microaggressions, lack of mentoring, and pay inequity, their impact which will be explored to provide context to the misogynoir Black female entrepreneurs experience.

● Strategies and recommendations to give successful business women a framework for racial trauma healing, emotional support, and business success.
