The Color of Courage

Book excerpt: People spend their entire careers in Corporate without recognizing the incessant toxicity and oppression at play against brown and Black professionals. The Color of Courage reveals the abusive nature of Corporate culture and its racist practices and protocols. Written for the love of people and business, Cindi Bright calls for bold thinking and courageous leadership to navigate this critical juncture. As a biracial, Black woman, she invites readers into her own gut-wrenching story of being fired without severance from a prominent Human Resources position. In writing this book, she vows, "The cycle of Corporate abuse stops with me!" Unapologetic and direct, The Color of Courage is a timely analysis of who holds the keys to wealth and power in the workplace, and how to equalize this gross imbalance. It's an urgent warning to leaders to stop having superficial conversations about anti-racism. It's time to recognize both the people and policies causing harm, and start cleaning house!
