Shared in satire. Rooted in truth. Survived in silence. Named with intention. Welcome to the workplace maze where brilliance is applauded but rarely advanced, where “diversity” is a checkbox and “belonging” is a buzzword, and where being the only one—or one of a few—is somehow both a compliment and a caution.

The Colored People’s Guide to the Corporate Conundrum is not your average leadership book. It’s a survival manifesto for the beautifully melanated, strategically muted, and systemically scrutinized professionals who’ve learned to decode feedback, translate culture, and thrive in spaces never built with them in mind.

Dr. Sharita Green delivers a sharp, trauma-informed, and truth-soaked exploration of what it means to navigate corporate America while carrying the weight of ancestry, identity, and expectation. Through poetic reflections, journal prompts, and archetypes like The Cultural Translator, The Token Strategist, and The Invisible Innovator, this guide exposes the quiet harm behind the polished veneer of professionalism.

This book is for the ones who’ve been celebrated in brochures but excluded from boardrooms. Who’ve been praised for resilience but denied rest. Who’ve been told they’re “a great fit” while being subtly pushed out.

It’s not a complaint—it’s clarity.

Not bitterness—it’s brilliance.

Not a performance—it’s a reckoning.

This is the lion’s story. And it’s finally being told.
