In Her Words

The Story Behind the Title

The title may surprise you. The message will inspire you.

The White Man Is My Friend is not just about race. Race is part of the story, but it is not the whole story.

It is about relationships.
It is about trust.
It is about leadership.
It is about choosing character before color.

After 42 years in Corporate America, I learned that some of life's greatest opportunities come from people we least expect. This is my playbook.

Choose Character Before Color
