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!“A teacher, preacher, and prophet--this book will wake every person from their slumber and guide them towards truth and healing.” ~ Shirline Wilson, Washington State Director, Democrats for Education Reform“Anyone, at any level in Corporate America, will relate to the characters in this book. You will be crushed and inspired by each chapter, and you’ll also receive practical advice and tools about how to show up to the work of racial justice. As an educator, I recommend purchasing a copy for each member of your work team and then forming a reading group, so you can unpack and debrief each chapter together.” ~ Erin Jones, Independent Education and Systems Consultant, Public Speaker"Cindi Bright lays out her unfiltered story of oppressive Corporate norms and how they play out in everyday working life. As if talking to a friend over a glass of wine, Color of Courage leaves the reader no option but to self reflect on the role each of us plays in perpetuating racism in America.” ~ Frances Dewing, Cybersecurity & Tech industry leader “You can’t dismantle what you cannot see. This eye-opener book unveils the mechanics of racism and toxicity in Corporate America. A must-read for any leader serious about creating inclusive cultures.” ~ Venus Rekow, CEO, Neural Shifts “This book is a must-read, not only for those enduring inequity, but for those unaware of the deep-seated, systemic, structural forces that drive these inequities. Through candid and engaging examples, and sometimes brutally honest dialogue, Cindi takes us to a place of practicality and comfort in calling out racist and bullying tactics. If you have had enough waiting for reform and are interested in seeing results, this is the book for you.” ~ Asha Pillai, MD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Immunology; Academic, Researcher, Physician“In this must-read book, Cindi not only exposes the hypocrisy of Corporate America, she points out how to move forward towards antiracism and accountability. This shift will be acutely painful in the short term for some, yet beneficial in the long term for everyone. Highly recommended for all who are trying to make a difference.” ~ Karen Fleshman, Esq., Founder, Racy Conversations“Color of Courage is a reader’s journey of the heart, soul, and mind through a Corporate world we only thought we knew. The beauty of this book is that it’s written with an uncompromising love of truth and an incredible love for all people.” ~ Steve Fields, Retired Corporate and Government Executive“Pour a glass of wine and prepare to be changed! Cindi’s book is not only groundbreaking, but is an approachable tool for examining Corporate culture and gaining the discernment needed to be an advocate for BIPOC colleagues in the workplace.” ~ Dr. Tracy Williams, CEO Blue Squad Washington
