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.  The Perfect Guide for Successful Business Women

"What a gift to Black women in the workplace!…For those committed to challenging stereotypes and enhancing workplace inclusion, this book is a must-read." —Dana Brownlee, Forbes Careers senior contributor

#1 New Release in Business Mentoring, Women in Business, and Coaching and Workplace Culture

I’m Not Yelling provides a strategy for savvy black business women navigating a predominantly white corporate America. It empowers black women to find their voices in toxic work environments and succeed.  

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.

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

Inside I’m Not Yelling find:

  • Evidence to support the experiences of racial inequity and discrimination at work for Black business women. 
  • A narrative study of possible pitfalls, such as microaggressions, lack of mentoring, and pay inequity (pitfall impacts are 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.

"Elizabeth Leiba is the voice first-generation Caribbean immigrant professional women have been patiently waiting for!! She has answers for the overachievers who are scared to ask questions because they are expected to have all the answers. Whew, this one hits different! Everyone talks about authenticity, but Elizabeth is showing how using your authentic voice and ditching the code switching can be a path to freedom and achievement. I AM YELLING, LOL—IF YOU NEED A SIGN TO READ THE BOOK, HERE IT IS !"

Sue-Ann Robinson, Esq., lead counsel for Ben Crump Law in Ft. Lauderdale

 

"Leiba's work is a strategic tool for Black women navigating corporate America and their allies working to create supportive environments. I'm Not Yelling is the guide you mark with highlights and get out of your purse at work to address difficult conversations. It’s the literary sister circle you need to find the strength to get back up on the days you feel unsupported and alone. Personally, I look forward to reading her book and applying the ideas to tackle systems of injustice."

Qaadirah Abdur-Rahim, Chief Equity Officer, City of Atlanta
