Today, globally, African Americans in the corporate world have an extra detail on their to-do list that risks self-esteem, personal productivity, and the inalienable right to thrive. Tasked daily with surviving racial bias and its resulting inequality, bright black men and women have to watch what they say, who they say it to, and, most importantly, how they say it. It's called "code-switching," and no one is immune, not even President Barack Obama. Putting a spotlight on what he calls discrimination by design, a new book by the author, Cori Williams, looks at how African Americans get from one day to the next in corporate America. Set for release on September 7th, "Thriving While Black: The Act of Surviving and Thriving in the Same Space" could not be more on-point in a social climate that's strained at best.
