Questions about color, race and migration permeate the very fabric of our consciousness—including the workforce. Several commentaries on fostering diversity and inclusion, in the workforce, have been penned. However, most of these commentaries focus on what employers can do to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. This leaves a lot of questions unanswered—especially as it pertains to the migrant’s response and responsibilities to succeeding in an ever diverse labor force. This book attempts to answer these questions by proposing seven transformative principles (with true-life stories and lessons)—that will help steer the reader to forging a practical plan of action for navigating the gnarly waters of corporate America. “Very impressive work. Extremely useful for people grasping for vertical career mobility. Good storytelling, great insight, as well as historic and biblical examples that give life and color to the concepts presented... Obi has crafted a work that I'm sure will be deeply impactful for many readers” - African American Leadership Forum (AALF)
