Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Working Class to Breaking Glass: One Woman's Fight to Belong and to Lead is an inspiring memoir by Wanda J. Herndon that chronicles one woman's remarkable journey to executive leadership and influence at Starbucks.Herndon's story begins in Flint, Michigan. Her father, who dropped out of school in the eighth grade to help financially support his family in the Jim Crow South, took a life-changing bus ride North in search of freedom and a living wage. He found both at General Motors, but his dream for Herndon was different: "You should get an office job," he insisted. Herndon took that directive to avoid the assembly line and became one of the first in her family to graduate from college. Yet the road ahead was far from easy. Navigating racial barriers, economic limitations, and self-doubt, she confronted the realities faced by many Black students in America during the 1960s and 1970s. At Michigan State University, Herndon pursued journalism while balancing work-study jobs and overcoming imposter syndrome, financial stress, and personal challenges. These formative experiences strengthened her resilience and clarified her purpose: to build a career that would allow her to open doors for herself and others.Entering the workforce in the mid-1970s, Herndon quickly learned that the real world required a different kind of education. She details the invisible weight she carried as a "first" and an "only", sharing the sting of being racially profiled during her first business trip and the professional isolation of working in a company town with few faces that looked like her own. Yet, through these challenges, she developed a unique blend of fearlessness, honesty, and infectious joy that allowed her to say the hardest truths with a smile.With each new role, she refined her leadership voice and reinforced her commitment to inclusion. A turning point came when she joined Starbucks during a period of rapid transformation and expansion. At the company's Seattle headquarters, Herndon rose through the ranks, earning a seat at decision-making tables where demographic representation had historically been absent. Her leadership extended beyond business operations-she became a cultural advocate and bridge-builder, committed to increasing opportunities for all people.Throughout the memoir, Herndon interweaves personal storytelling with reflections on identity, mentorship, resilience, and purpose. She explores how systemic barriers shape opportunity and how determination, preparation, and community support can positively change lives. Whether she's navigating corporate culture or confronting moments of personal loss and reinvention, her story demonstrates that leadership is not a destination but an evolving journey.Working Class to Breaking Glass is more than a career memoir-it is a story about legacy. Herndon honors the sacrifices of her ancestors and parents while encouraging future generations to claim their own place at the table. An inspiring memoir that chronicles one Black woman's against-the-odds rise through the corporate ranks to claim a seat at the boardroom table and pave the way for those who would follow.
