About The Book
You know that moment when someone says “you should speak up more in meetings” and you’re thinking “I’d speak up if y’all would stop interrupting my every third word”? Or when they suggest “more networking!” and your inner introvert is already reaching for the emergency exit?
Trust me, I get it. As an introverted woman of color who navigated my way from feeling like an imposter to advising Fortune 500 executives (while still happily sneaking away for my coffee-and-kindle breaks), I’m here to tell you: your quiet strength isn’t just valid – it’s your superpower waiting to be unleashed.
This isn’t yet another leadership book telling you to “fake it till you make it” or “just put yourself out there.” We’re way too sophisticated for that noise. The world doesn’t just need more leaders – it needs YOUR leadership.
From Imposter to Empress isn’t just another leadership book telling you to “fake it till you make it” or “just put yourself out there.” Please. We’re way too sophisticated for that noise. Instead, this is your royal roadmap to honor all that your are and rock your crown like the queen you are.
Whether you’re quietly running the show from your corner office or building your empire from your home workspace (introverted entrepreneur queens, I see you!), this book is your permission slip to stop apologizing for your thoughtful nature and start embracing your AWESOME™.
Ready to claim your crown? Your quiet revolution starts here.

Chapter 1
Picture this: You’re standing at the helm of your department, a beacon of success in the corporate world. Yet, as you gaze at your reflection in the office window, a nagging voice whispers, “Do I really belong here?” Take a deep breath sis, and listen closely: that voice is about to be silenced.
As an introverted woman in leadership, you’ve climbed mountains to reach your current position. But sometimes, the steepest climb is the one within our own minds. Imposter syndrome, that sneaky saboteur, loves to set up camp in the minds of brilliant women like you. But here’s the truth: Your introversion isn’t a weakness – it’s your secret weapon.
In this book, we’re going to embark on a transformative journey together. We’ll explore the unique strengths that introverted leaders bring to the table, particularly focusing on the experiences of women and people of color. We’ll dive deep into the challenges you face, backed by solid research, and emerge with powerful strategies to not just overcome these obstacles, but to thrive and lead with unshakeable confidence.
