Corporate America Wasn’t Built for Us. Time to Hack the System.
WHY WOMEN OF COLOR NEED CHEAT CODES TO WIN
Because the Game Was Rigged Before We Even Got Here
Let’s be real: Corporate America wasn’t designed for us—it barely tolerates us. Between the unspoken rules, constant code-switching, and being the only one in the room, the deck is stacked. WOC are navigating the game on a whole other level. And to win, we need cheat codes—strategic hacks that level the playing field, expose the traps, and make sure we’re walking away with what we deserve.
Because Excellence Alone Won’t Cut It
You’ve heard it before: “Work twice as hard to get half as far.” Cute advice, but who’s got the time for that? You can be the hardest-working person in the room, but without strategy, you’re spinning your wheels while Brad takes credit. Cheat codes don’t just reward your effort—they amplify your impact and ensure you get what’s yours.
Because They Still Think We’re “Too Much”
Too aggressive. Too ambitious. Too confident. WOC hear it all, and it’s exhausting. Here’s the truth: What they call “too much” is exactly what makes us great. Cheat codes help you flip those stereotypes into opportunities to shine. They let you walk into a room, own your narrative, and let the results do the talking.
Because 67 Cents on the Dollar Is Not a Vibe
WOC earn 67 cents for every dollar a white man makes. Sixty. Seven. Cents. That’s not just an insult—it’s Theft. The system won’t fix itself, so you’ve got to out-negotiate, out-maneuver, and outshine. Cheat codes help you advocate for your worth with receipts, results, and a whole lot of confidence.
Because Survival Isn’t the Goal—Dominance Is
Surviving the corporate grind is fine, but thriving? That’s the flex. Cheat codes aren’t about playing nice or waiting for permission. They’re about building your empire, setting your own rules, and making sure they know your name (and your value) before the meeting even starts.
What Cheat Codes Do for Us
Reveal the Game: They teach you the unspoken rules so you’re never blindsided by office politics or invisible expectations.
Amplify Your Power: From negotiation tactics to networking moves, cheat codes help you secure the bag, the title, and the respect.
Create a Legacy: Winning is great, but bringing others along? That’s the ultimate flex.
The Hollywood Unicorn Is Your Cheat Code
Here’s the deal: The Hollywood Unicorn was built to hand WOC the keys to the corporate kingdom. Christine Birch, the first WOC to lead marketing for three Hollywood studios, cracked the code—and now she’s sharing the playbook. It’s time to stop surviving and start thriving.
