Women of color have always had to navigate a rocky path to #LevelUp to #LiveTheirBestLife; after all, the world is not designed for women of color to excel. BossLadyShip is a guide to help women-particularly women of color- to navigate a path to leadership and, thus, professional and/or entrepreneurial success. BossLadyShip takes women on the journey that Dr. Sue endured in order to become a leader within Corporate America and her own company. This is her how-to guide allowing other women to see the process they can use to replicate her success. This book is designed to help women who are both seeking to take on leadership roles within organizations, as well as those wishing to start their own business (or grow their current business!), also accounting for a post-COVID-19 world, so as to allow these wonderful women to create their own empires and to always proudly wear their crowns.

3 Winners will get an E-book of House Of Rougeaux by Jenny Jaeckel
House of Rougeaux is a family saga spanning seven generations—from a colonial-era sugar plantation to Civil Rights-era Philadelphia—an intimate portrayal of survival and triumph, love and resilience, with touches of magical realism. Born in the 1700s and enslaved on the Caribbean Island of Martinique, young Abeje and her brother Adunbi owe their survival to their uncommon abilities and to the kindness of fellow bondsmen. After Adunbi’s daughter is taken away to Canada she becomes emancipated in Quebec City; grandchildren find their way in Montreal, a great-grandchild escapes persecution to Philadelphia, and another risks everything to pursue music in New York City. As each new member of the family takes the spotlight, a fresh piece of the puzzle is illuminated until at last, a homecoming uplifts them all. Following the echoes between generations which defy normal space and time, a multilayered narrative celebrates the Rougeaux family’s triumphs while exposing the injustices of their trials.

3 Winners will get a paperback copy of Rock ‘n’ Roll Heretic: The Life and Times of Rory Tharpe Paperback by Sikivu Hutchinson.
It’s the late 1970s, and ex-Pentecostal Black female electric guitarist Rory Tharpe navigates the cutthroat world of corporate rock, dive bars, dusk-to-dawn recording sessions, and shady contracts as she travels the nation in a dilapidated tour bus with her bickering, boozing all-male band. Much-imitated and little-credited, Rory is in a late-career tailspin when she goes on tour with international superstar Jude Justis, a white woman blues-rock singer who has built a turbulent mega-platinum career out of stealing from Black musicians. Broke and frustrated by the racism, sexism, and ageism of the rock boys’ club, Rory warily joins forces with Jude. She then takes a detour through the painful past she shares with childhood nemesis Divinity Mason Mulvaney, a maverick pastor at the helm of the megachurch enterprise Revivals, Inc. A homage to pioneering guitarist Rosetta Tharpe, Rock ‘n’ Roll Heretic is a bracing look at the power politics, heartbreak, and hypocrisy confronting a queer Black woman visionary at the intersection of music and commerce, faith and heresy, in a segregated music industry that eats its Black artists.
