Overview

"A Blessing presents a fresh, bold analysis of African American female leadership. An unapologetic look at our often-overlooked role in America's social, political, psychological and economic history, it is armed with data that should be empowering for today's ""unicorns."" The book offers a playbook to help Black unicorns team up and find innovative ways to support one another as they climb, what research shows, are lonely, stressful, jagged yet ultimately rewarding ladders of opportunity. A Blessing also includes the results of their original, proprietary research, Women of Color in Business: Cross Generational Survey(c) which examines the views of 4005 female ""desk"" or ""knowledge workers"" across four races--Black, Latin X, Asian, and White--and four generations--Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X. and Boomers. In addition, they interview other successful Harvard Business School alumnae who are creating or leaving legacies."
