ABOUT THE ANTHOLOGY
“Our Stories Belong in History” is a groundbreaking anthology that brings together the voices of three generations of Black and Latina U.S. women executive leaders to share their empowering untold stories of overcoming insurmountable odds to achieve and sustain success in a nation still grappling with systemic racism. The book offers readers an intimate and inspiring portrayal of both the struggles and triumphs of women leaders of color in corporate environments, including proven leadership and entrepreneurship strategies that can serve as a vital resource for every woman aged 18 or older. From navigating the vicious cycle of work burnout to finding balance, liberation, fulfillment and true purpose, these stories resonate deeply with women from all walks of life–underscoring the boundless potential of women to be change agents, community pillars, and firsts. Every woman deserves to hear these stories, share these stories, and feel empowered to stay the course, remembering how powerful women are, especially when we stand together, because the power of our oneness is undeniable.
“My only responsibility is to heal. The science of trauma, stress, and adversity is clear. My ancestors’ experiences live in me. Their pain and despair are alive in my DNA. As I heal myself, I heal my ancestors and my descendants.”
