You've been told to wait, to shrink, to be patient. The wait is over. Here, you'll find the power to speak up, show up, and rise. Jacqueline had the title. The track record. The results. Yet there were still moments of doubt, exclusion, and the kind of setbacks no résumé could ever reveal. She carried them quietly, the way so many of us learn to do.

She wrote this book so you don't have to carry it quietly, too. Drawing on her journey as a Fortune 100 executive and one of Fortune's 50 Most Powerful Black Executives in America, Jacqueline blends original research from over 500 Black women and women of color with her signature M.O.M.E.N.T. Method to deliver what so many leadership books do not: a framework grounded in the realities they live.

Because you don't become unstoppable by waiting for permission. This is how you begin.
