This book is so relatable to me as a Hispanic woman in the software development industry. If I’d read it 20 years ago, it could have saved me a lot of unfounded self doubt and years of masking to make myself more palatable to the dominant culture.

To any young woman debating whether you should read this book because it is skewed by a few low ratings, please ignore those. They’re mostly privileged women who totally missed the point and are giving few stars because the words in this book aren’t “polished enough” for them in some way.

I feel so seen! While she speaks exclusively to the professional black woman’s perspective, this is still a must read for all marginalized employees.

This book is so important to read as it gently reminds us that we are not alone on our journey. We, as Black women, might be the only ones that look like us at our company/organization; however, there’s an entire community having the same experience with micro aggressions, stereotypes, etc. that we can lean on. I’m Not Yelling stresses the importance of finding your voice and being one’s own advocate.

This book is also important if you’re a person that is truly committed to being an ally. It will allow you to identify behaviors which contradict the goal of achieving equality and inclusion.

I’m Not Yelling is a book I highly recommend.

Glad I made this my first book of the year!

Holy. Goddess. This book was everything I needed and MORE. So many lessons learned, so many new affirmations to add to my life, so much motivation to learn not just who my authentic self is, but how to showcase her without fear. I will read whatever Elizabeth Leiba puts out for the rest of my life!

I thought the book had a lot of good gems and I enjoyed the affirmations! Will definitely use some of the tools in my career
