Welcome to Breaking Barriers: The BlackGuard Foundation Guide to Employment Success
for Black Men — your new career BFF, mentor, and sometimes tough-love coach, all rolled
into one.
Let’s be honest: navigating the workplace can feel like trying to do the moonwalk on a
slippery floor — awkward, challenging, and occasionally, you might just fall flat on your
face. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to go it alone or stumble in the dark.
This book is packed with real talk, practical strategies, and yes, some tough truths
sprinkled with a bit of humor because, let’s face it, sometimes you just gotta laugh to keep
from throwing your laptop out the window.
We’ll cover everything from how to dodge those sneaky microaggressions (they’re like
paper cuts for the soul) to negotiating your salary like a boss, building a personal brand that even your mom would brag about, and managing stress without turning into a caffeine
fueled superhero.
Whether you’re just starting out, stuck in that never-ending “middle management limbo,” or ready to shatter that glass ceiling (or at least poke a few holes in it), this guide is designed to equip you with the tools, mindset, and community support to own your career journey unapologetically.
So buckle up, keep your sense of humor handy, and let’s get to work — because success
doesn’t just happen, it’s built. And you’re about to build it like a pro.
