Overview
What does it take to rise through corporate America without losing yourself along the way?
From her childhood in the South Bronx to the boardrooms of corporate America, Lizette Williams Rashad learned early that navigating power requires courage and resilience. Those lessons shaped her journey into executive leadership and her determination to succeed without abandoning her identity.
From the Bronx to the Boardroom is the memoir of an Afro-Latina girl from the South Bronx who became a Fortune 500 executive—not by assimilating but by learning to read power, build strategic relationships, and move with precision in rooms where she was often the only one who looked like her. Blending personal narrative with hard-earned leadership principles, this book offers a clear-eyed look at what it takes to succeed at the highest levels—without abandoning who you are. Grounded in lived experience, it challenges the notion that advancement requires conformity and translates unspoken rules into actionable principles for operating with authenticity and power.
Anyone who has ever had to figure out the unspoken “rules” for themselves will see their story—and their strategy—in this perceptive and actionable memoir.
