| Description: |
This relentlessly optimistic memoir by one of the most influential Black business leaders in America offers hope and guidance for navigating life’s most difficult challenges. She has spent her life beating personal and professional odds while helping everyone she meets see how they are uniquely equipped to thrive. She grew up in a housing project with a violent father, but also a strong, devoted mother. She excelled at school and her professional life, overcoming overt and subtle racism to become, at 40, one of the first Black woman officers at AT&T. At 51, she was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Overnight, her life changed, but her commitment to serve others did not. Larger than average print. *2024 UWF Reading Program: Leadership Development |
