       strength -- Acknowledge that there is a game and accept 
       that you must play -- What you have to say is just as 
       important as what others have to say, so speak up -- 
       Aretha was right: R-E-S-P-E-C-T -- Listen up!

520    "The authors, all high-level black executives, seek to 
       "support women who do not always have access to coaches, 
       mentors, or the 'Old Boys' Network," and their 
       professional advice is savvy and sensitive to the 
       challenges women of color face in the workplace. They 
       offer self-affirming advice to rev up a career, complete 
       with "MAMAisms"--What the authors describe as aphorisms 
       and "familiar terms, both practical and spiritual, that we
       grew up with and can draw upon as we travel the road to 
       leadership success." The authors revisit and refresh 
       familiar tips on staying positive, honing skill sets, 
       having a plan of action and following through, networking,
       and avoiding common workplace dilemmas. They also provide 
       valuable advice on achieving work/life balance and finding
       guidance, mentorship, and support. Offering sound advice, 
       practical tools, and warm wisdom, this book will help 
       black professional women get and stay on track and 
       maximize their abilities"--|cPublishers Weekly.
