It started with a post on corporate lawyer Tricia Montalvo Timms LinkedIn: My mom is from El Salvador. My dad is from Ecuador. I am Latina.

This post received far more response than she expected, and from that moment on she knew that there were so few Latinas who had made it to the top ranks of corporate America, she had a responsibility to be visible after years of keeping her identity under wraps in the high pressure, high-tech world of Silicon Valley.

Embrace the Power of You: Owning Your Identity at Work is written for those who are desperately trying to blend into the corporate landscape. There is a certain amount of grit you need to get by in business, and many people, especially women and people of color, first need to believe that they are worthy enough to be in the room before they can start planning strategies on how to succeed there. Tricia chronicles her own journey, yet is inclusive to other groups that are forced to hide their identity in order to feel a sense of belonging in mainstream America. This business memoir aims to reach all those who are code-switching or struggling to belong, and arm them with the tools and knowledge on how to get to the other side of their fear. There are no books that highlight the success of a Latina business executive and Embrace the Power of You will be the first of its kind.
