Reviews
"Elizabeth Leiba is the voice first-generation Caribbean immigrant professional women have been patiently waiting for!! She has answers for the overachievers who are scared to ask questions because they are expected to have all the answers. Whew, this one hits different! Everyone talks about authenticity, but Elizabeth is showing how using your authentic voice and ditching the code switching can be a path to freedom and achievement. I AM YELLING, LOL-IF YOU NEED A SIGN TO READ THE BOOK, HERE IT IS !"
-Sue-Ann Robinson, Esq., lead counsel for Ben Crump Law in Ft. Lauderdale
"Leiba's work is a strategic tool for Black women navigating corporate America and their allies working to create supportive environments. I'm Not Yelling is the guide you mark with highlights and get out of your purse at work to address difficult conversations. It's the literary sister circle you need to find the strength to get back up on the days you feel unsupported and alone. Personally, I look forward to reading her book and applying the ideas to tackle systems of injustice."
