Hey, welcome back. Thank you so much for tuning in again. I really hope you enjoyed last week's episode with Jamie.

In today's episode, I speak to Elizabeth and Yomi who are the co-authors of Sleigh in your lane, a Black Girls Bible,

which sees different articles from inspirational women of colour who card their own past to success,

despite coming up against so many hurdles from systemic injustice and institutionalized racism.

I found it quite a shocking but necessary read in this climate, and I really do recommend that you pick yourselves up a copy.

It is also now available in paperback. And again, thank you so much to everyone who's rated, reviewed,

and left me a little message on Instagram or on my various platforms. I am always so grateful for your feedback.

One last thing to add in this episode, I might sound a little bit lispy. I have in this line, and I had just put on a new aligner.

So I think I was talking a little bit funny, but I hope it doesn't spoil your listening. Please enjoy. Bye.

Hi guys, and welcome to Adelting. This week I am joined by Yomi and Elizabeth who are the authors of Sleigh in your lane,

which is the Black Girls Bible.

Hello. Hi. Thanks so much for coming on guys. So today we're going to be talking about exactly that,

how to slay in your lane, how to thrive as a Black woman, how to find your voice and platform others.

And I guess that was kind of your inspiration for the book. Do you want to, you talk about it in the intro and it's discussing a bit,

but how did you come to writing this?

So I was working in the city, like, just graduated and a Sleigh is picked by the way.

We sound alike sometimes, so I want to clarify that.

And I guess I was just starting out and you got all the enthusiasm in the world and you want to make the most of opportunities.

And I was encountering challenges about how to navigate the workplace and challenges such as microgressions and a lot of responsibility,

and just making sure that as a Black woman you're seen and heard in the best possible way.

And at the same time, I was, I saw my boss, he was a white male, his boss was a white male, his boss is a white male.

And I was asking myself, okay, will I thrive in this environment? Will I be able to kind of like rise through the rank sort of thing?
