A guide for every woman of color who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or undervalued at work, 52 Truerealisms explores how workplace environments can significantly impact wellbeing. The book will help readers find power in how we engage and move forward, because “work-hurt” does not have to define working people. This pocketbook companion is perfect for women of color at the start of their careers, those facing a crossroads or second act, or others looking back on their professional journey.
