#ColourFULL: How Women of Colour can become powerful leaders that transform the world

by Winitha Bonney

Overview

#ColourFULL will teach you how to overcome and thrive in white structures and lead from the inside out to become the leader you always knew you were. It's time to awaken your possibility, live unapologetically and unleash your inner power on the world.

Although this book uses the terms 'women' and 'Women of Colour,' they are used in an inclusive sense. It is for those who self-identify as a Woman of Colour and actively includes those that have been affected by misogyny similar to women (meaning cis and non-binary, transgender, gender non-conforming and genderqueer). However you identify, may you get what you need here and what your heart and soul desires.

Winitha Bonney is one of the world's foremost thinkers in leadership and entrepreneurship for Women and People of Colour and a global expert in helping corporates build inclusive cultures. She has an incredible amount of unique insights and expertise to help Women and People of Colour become leaders and successful entrepreneurs.

Winitha is the founder of #ColourFULL, a leadership and entrepreneurship conference and awards night by Women of Colour for Women of Colour and allies. She also runs a digital platform and growing private membership community of over 600 Women of Colour where she empowers, elevates and educates them to succeed in their career, business and life through online content, courses, workshops, virtual events, training programs, coaching, community and mentoring. Her programs and online community provide you with a safe environment, support, accountability, training and the mentorship you need to achieve your desired outcomes.

Through personal stories, wit, and candour Winitha shares her experiences as a woman of colour navigating spaces where it is not uncommon to be the lonely 'only'. #ColourFULL serves up a warm embrace packed with necessary truths, insightful affirmations, encouragement and actionable advice for women around the world going through similar experiences to push through and overcome.

Dr Cortina McCurry, CEO, Caia

Winitha is a fierce voice of this generation. #ColourFull is an uplifting, inspiring and refreshing account of what it feels like to be 'the other' or the only one in the room. It is an incredibly lonely journey - but this book makes you feel like you're not alone and that you can truly take over the world. I feel proud of my colour, and this book will make you honour your heritage too! A recommended read for all WoC who are determined to succeed in life unapologetically.
