Corporate America often asks women of color to work twice as hard for half the recognition while carrying the weight of bias, pressure, and isolation. In Lead With Leverage, Tara J. King names those realities with honesty and offers something even more powerful: strategy.
Through personal story, leadership insight, and hard-earned truth, Tara provides a roadmap for women ready to stop second-guessing themselves and start leading with clarity, confidence, and intention. This book is for the woman who wants to understand power, protect her peace, elevate her voice, and rise without erasing who she is.
Lead With Leverage is not just a book about surviving corporate spaces. It is a guide to navigating them with wisdom, presence, and leverage.
