“My book does what many published political and campaign preparation books, training programs, strategists, consultants, and coaches don’t and will never do, and that provides a real in-depth conversation and a bold call to action with the aim of building Black women’s knowledge and confidence to take on political leadership roles throughout the world,” said Tonya.
