Throughout history, the design, content, and methods of creating books had immense significance. However, its primary purpose remains to facilitate communication. Books have taken many forms, such as Babylonian clay tablets, Egyptian papyrus rolls, medieval vellum codices, printed paper volumes, microfilm, and various other combinations. Despite the variations in form, the content of books has remained diverse and plentiful.
But what’s the actual purpose of books? Well, there could be many. Books serve in the most dynamic ways, from reading exciting stories and concrete sources to acquiring legit information and scientific knowledge to sharpen the intellect. But one most fruitful purpose is to bring awareness to society. Across the ages, such books have gained tremendous respect and popularity. The credit for highly regarded and trailblazing books goes to the ingenious and creative writers. Authors weaponize the world with intriguing and legitimate thoughts. Out of many progressive writers, Dr. Raye Mitchell is a revolutionary author who reinforces equality and equity.
Who can ignore the systematic discrimination against people of color? To rejuvenate the idea of impartiality and call out the notion of colorism, especially against women, Mitchell diligently authored a book entitled Invisible No More: Empowering Young Black Women and Girls to Rise Up as Leaders. The book pinpoints the lack of Black women leadership and the immediate need for equality and diversity in the American corporate and non-corporate realm. This book is instrumental in understanding the national crisis of invisibility for Black women and girls.
How do women of color master the plan of success, beating all the odds against them? Let’s understand this with Mitchell’s masterpiece, How Women of Color Master the Art of Persuasion to Win Big Battles. The book smartly but coherently debates black women’s problems in the corporate sector. In this book, Mitchell emphasizes the strategies that could be applied to master the art of persuasion to be at the top of the game. Mitchell incorporated her 30 years of legal and business experience in the book to allow black women to negotiate tough battles and maintain the integrity to become highly effective persuaders and influences.
Mitchell authored many notable books focusing on building core leadership expertise and skill development in women of color. Her other book project, How Women Negotiate from a Position of Strength: Protecting Brand and Intellectual Property Rights and The Evolution of Brilliance, propagate her motive of empowering and strengthening women.
Mitchell dreams of helping women by merging leadership, health, and wellness so that they can lead an above-average life. To reflect her vision, she authored The Winning Edge Series to build confidence and credibility among women. The series won Best Empowerment Book Award.
Mitchell depicts her gratitude by quoting:
“I am honored to receive this award recognizing the importance of supporting and helping women and girls elevate their lives, be influencers, and change outcomes.”
Whether a woman is making significant decisions in her career or dealing with discrimination, racism, or colorism, all of Mitchell’s books help deal with these challenges. The focal point of all her books is to incorporate valuable intellectualism and emotional intelligence so black women and others can stand against injustice. Mitchell is working on multiple new books, including, Breaking the Insidious Silence and Winning in the Court of Public Opinion, with a release date in 2024.
