A Colourful View From the Top: Twenty-one Extraordinary Stories of Black and Brown Excellence in Business

This is a book on a mission. The world urgently needs a more diverse set of commercial and cultural leaders. For too long, narratives in US and UK culture have confined black and brown excellence to sports or entertainment. A Colourful View From the Top will break those boundaries by offering a 360 degree view of success from high achievers in business.

This is a gathering of 21 important stories which are vital to the twenty-first century marketplace, detailing exactly how they became integral figures in modern media and corporate life. Read about how their achievements haven’t been defined or limited by their race, gender or age; how flexibility is premium currency in a world where a ‘job’ is a single checkpoint along a wider career narrative that involves twists, turns and side hustles; how corporate success need not preclude social awareness.

A Colourful View At The Top is a vital, useful and engaging compendium of varied experiences and career paths, candidly and engagingly told by those who lived them.
