Overview
No, it's not just you, and you're not tripping!
Let's be honest; the majority of the corporations we're working for weren't founded with us in mind. It is no secret how stressful, challenging, and difficult working in corporate America can be, especially for women of color. But guess what, Sis? You made it, and most of us had to fight really hard to get here. We've worked long hours, continued our education, moved across the country, and made countless sacrifices. Now, wouldn't it be nice to feel respected, valued, and be equally compensated? Wouldn't it be nice to create more significant contributions toward our careers while navigating the corporate beatdown more effectively? Look no further; help is in your hand.
But, first, let's take a deep breath and woosah.

Packed with down-to-earth commentary, unfiltered and relatable stories, exercises, and practical tools in it, Rahkal provides invaluable advice for tackling thorny topics like discrimination, wage gaps, biases, toxic environments, self-worth, boundary setting, and community building. This humorous and energetic guide is for the woman who's ready to thrive.

About the Author
Sometimes, numbers do lie! Statistics say, children, who are raised in domestically violent homes and/or homes filled with substance abuse and poverty, are less likely to succeed and more likely to become products of their environment. However, this wasn’t the case for Rahkal C. D. Shelton. Those were her statistics; but, the self-proclaimed “rose from concrete” triumphed over them.
Rahkal is a three-time published author, dynamic speaker, inspiration enthusiast, workplace peace advocate, and the CEO of Be The Inspired You. Born on the Southside of Chicago to a 19-year-old drug addict and high school dropout, her tumultuous childhood should have guaranteed future failure. But she persevered, proving that “your past doesn’t have to dictate your future and manifestation is the product of action,” as she boldly states. Rahkal not only desired to overcome adversity; she put in the work. Fast forward: She is a first-generation college graduate and HBCU alum, whose resume is lined with accomplishments and work histories with well-known corporate entities.
In 2009, Rahkal’s passion was ignited. She found her purpose while working for the Chicago Public School System as a mentor and organizer. This discovery led to working with disadvantaged youth and coaching employees within elite corporate structures. Rahkal holds a Master’s degree in Media Communications and has over 12 years of experience working for major conglomerates, including CNN, Warner Media, iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel Communications), Fox Chicago News, and WGN. Using her voice as a platform to educate and empower, Rahkal passionately serves culture through sharing her story and teaching personal and professional development strategies.
She is the author of Dreams Bigger Than Texas, Blackbird, and Woosah: A Survival Guide for Women of Color Working in Corporate. Her work and expertise have been highlighted in Forbes, Huffington Post, WGN, Voyage Atl, The Talk of Chicago, and Radio One. Her heart beats to the rhythm of her life’s mantra: Be The Inspired You.
