Breaking the Glass Ceiling

This book gives readers a glimpse into the thoughts of a strong Black woman whose humble but auspicious beginning in life was a foreword to her journey to corporate career success in the television advertising industry.

From those humble beginnings in a small eastern North Carolina town to a seat at the table of a #1 television station is not a trip for the faint-hearted, but Evelyn Smith Booker made the journey. On the way, she integrated her local high school, was the unofficial valedictorian of her graduation class, set record after record, breaking the glass ceiling as a television executive in ad sales, and mentored many fine people on her way who have climbed their own ladders.

 In this book she shares a bit of her personal story and work life, a little of her philosophy, drops in a dollop of motivation, dispenses practical wisdom, and above all celebrates her faith and puts God in the center of absolutely everything. Reading this book is a bit like experiencing a wide ranging conversation with a friend. You're sure to feel uplifted after you read it.
