The Unwritten Rules Are Meant to Be Broken

Breaking Barriers, Thriving in Corporate Spaces, and Redefining Success as a Black Leader

By Sharitta Marshall

"You Don't Have to Fit In to Rise Up."

Are you tired of playing by the corporate rulebook-only to realize it was never written with you in mind?

The Unwritten Rules Are Meant to Be Broken is a powerful, unapologetic guide for Black professionals who are ready to navigate corporate spaces on their own terms. Written by Sharitta Marshall, a seasoned corporate leader who has experienced-and overcome-the systemic barriers of the workplace, this book is your roadmap to thriving authentically in leadership.

Learn how to:

• • Own your worth in a system that often fails to recognize it
  • Turn microaggressions into power moves and navigate bias with confidence
  • Step into strategic leadership and move beyond the "doer" role
  • Advocate for yourself without burnout or compromise
  • Build your network of allies, sponsors, and mentors who will help you rise
  • Set your sights on the C-suite and get there without losing yourself

Through real-life stories, practical strategies, and empowering exercises, this book will help you dismantle imposter syndrome, define success on your own terms, and claim the career you deserve.

You don't have to shrink. You don't have to contort. You don't have to assimilate. You don't have to apologize for taking up space.

It's time to break the rules, rewrite the script, and lead boldly.
