The Truth About Race, Gender & Success in Corporate America
I always believed that if I worked hard enough, I’d have a fair shot at success. But as I climbed the corporate ladder, I saw how different the journey was—not just for women, but between Black and White women.
Our Separate Ways is a powerful, eye-opening look at how race and gender shape women’s careers. Through real stories and groundbreaking research, Ella Bell Smith and Stella M. Nkomo reveal the often invisible barriers that Black women face—and how White women’s experiences, while challenging, are often shaped by privilege they may not even recognize.
This book changed the way I think about leadership, equality, and what it really takes to create workplaces where all women thrive. If you’re serious about dismantling systemic barriers and building a more inclusive future, this is a must-read.
