Heels, Hustle, Heart: Claiming Your Seat Without Losing Yourself

A fearless blueprint for women who refuse to shrink. Heels, Hustle, Heart is a candid, big-sister guide to thriving in corporate life, told by a Jamaican woman who has walked the halls from newsroom to C-suite, from rural roots to global boardrooms. With warmth, wit, and zero fluff, Gail Abrahams shares the moments that shaped her: leading while pregnant, earning an MBA despite a lifelong fear of math, navigating bias and office politics, documenting her “receipts,” and choosing visibility without losing herself.This is not a lecture; it’s a conversation. You’ll learn how to build a brand rooted in authenticity, ask for promotions and ?? with confidence, read the real power map behind the org chart, and protect your peace from burnout and exploitation. Along the way, mentorship, sisterhood, and unlikely alliances take centre stage, because none of us rises alone.Designed for ambitious women, especially those from the Caribbean and the diaspora, yet accessible to readers everywhere, Heels, Hustle, Heart blends story with strategy, practical checklists, and reflection prompts you can use immediately. If you’re ready to stop dimming your light, claim your seat, and lead with integrity, this book shows you how to move, deliberately, bravely, and on your own terms. Read more
