Something feels off, and you can't quite put your finger on it.
You tell yourself you're being too sensitive or exaggerating the situation. Or maybe, like they've been saying, you're simply imagining things. Deep down, you know that's false, so you start looking for understanding and proof.
Triumph in the Trenches, Volume 1 is proof and helps you see that what you're experiencing is deliberate, systemic, and shared across industries and career levels. A modern guide for Black professionals, this anthology illustrates how to rise above, empower yourself, and lift as you climb.
By reading these stories and answering the reflection questions, you will be able to:
- Name the Patterns: Gain the language to identify discrimination and biases clearly.
- Document Your Reality: Learn how to recognize and articulate what's happening.
- Find a Safe Community: Connect with others who validate your experiences.
A bestseller and an Indie Book Awards finalist, Triumph in the Trenches is a must-read for Black professionals everywhere.

ABOUT THE COVER
The green cover honors Victor Hugo Green's Green Book for Negro Motorists, compiled annually from 1936 to 1966 to guide African Americans to safe spaces when traveling through a hostile country.
During the Civil War, hot air balloons were used for aerial reconnaissance so scouts could see and detect the enemy miles away. The writers in this anthology did the same by sharing hard-won perspectives that can help you recognize and overcome obstacles in the workplace.
This book is your elevated vantage point to:
- Document experiences so you have evidence, not just intuition
- Connect with a community that sees you and confirms your reality
- Gain language to articulate what's happening when others dismiss you
- Name the uneasy feelings you've had or validate what you already know
- Recognize patterns of discrimination across different industries and roles
