Book description
Let's be real: the fact that a book titled I'm Not Yelling exists is the ultimate corporate gaslighting. Your boss tells you to "tone down your enthusiasm" while you're the only one in the room whose ideas get stolen, and suddenly, you're the problem? Elizabeth Leiba's audiobook cuts through that fog with the precision of a scalpel and the sass of your best friend who's been through it all. Her voice-calm, unflinching, laced with that perfect blend of "I've got this" and "seriously, how is this still happening?"-is the antidote to the toxic noise of corporate America.
Forget the usual "just be more assertive" platitudes. Leiba doesn't just hand you a checklist; she hands you a war room for the workplace. She dissects the absurdity of "imposter syndrome" (a term invented by people who don't want you in the room) and exposes how "inclusive culture" often means "include Black women in the meeting but don't actually listen to them." The anecdotes? Chef's kiss. Stories of Black women being told they're "too emotional" for demanding a promotion, only to hear the same white male colleague get called "passionate." Leiba doesn't just name it-she gives you the exact phrases to deploy next time HR tries to "coach" you out of your own success. ("Let's revisit that feedback about 'tone'-I'd love to see the data showing how my tone correlates with actual results.")
The best part? She doesn't waste breath on empty "diversity training" fluff. You'll hear the real data (and the real stories) from Black women who've navigated these minefields. When she says, "This isn't about being 'the Black voice'-it's about being the only voice that matters," you feel it in your bones. And the audiobook? Chef's kiss. You'll be nodding along in your car, muttering, "Yes! Exactly!" while your boss's passive-aggressive email pings on your phone. It's the kind of guide that turns "I can't believe this is still happening" into "Okay, now let's fix it."
For anyone who's read Black Women Will Save the World or Your Next Level Life, this isn't just a book-it's the next level. It's the playbook for turning "Why can't I get a seat at the table?" into "My seat. My table. And no, I'm not yelling." It's the Sarton Award finalist you'll want to gift to every Black woman at work (and every white ally who needs to hear it). Because let's be clear: the real crime isn't that Black women are "too much." It's that the workplace is still too small for them. This book? It's the key to expanding that room. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to listen to it again while I prepare my next meeting. And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally stop yelling. (I mean, not yelling. Obviously.)
