    About this audiobook

    The long-awaited, inspirational guide to life for a generation of black British women inspired to make lemonade out of lemons, and find success in every area of their lives.

    ‘This book is a gift for anyone who wants to better understand what Black women and girls are up against – and the tremendous resources they draw upon as they make their way in the world’ Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org

    Slay In Your Lane is a brilliant book about what it is like to be a woman, black and a Londoner in 2018. Everyone should read it’ Sadiq Khan

    ‘Black women today are well past making waves – we’re currently creating something of a tsunami. Women who look like us, grew up in similar places to us, talk like us, are shaping almost every sector of society.’

    From education to work to dating, this inspirational, honest and provocative book recognises and celebrates the strides black women have already made, while providing practical advice for those who want to do the same and forge a better, visible future.

    Illustrated with stories from best friends Elizabeth Uviebinené and Yomi Adegoke’s own lives, and using interviews with dozens of the most successful black women in Britain – including BAFTA Award-winning director Amma Asante, British Vogue publisher Vanessa Kingori and Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis – Slay In Your Lane is essential reading for a generation of black women inspired to find success in every area of their lives.

      My top three thoughts on 'Slay in Your Lane':
      1. There's so much I can identify with in this book even though I'm Indian - The microaggressions, racial profiling, prejudices, and the misrepresentation of my culture. I too, like Uviebinené was accused in school of cheating by a racist teacher who assumed the color of my skin determined my intellect. I too have had friends being overlooked for jobs because of a 'difficult' name or where they were asked to shorten it for the convenience of others. I too have been dismissed as being sensitive when I get offended by anything that depicts my religion, race or gender in a negative light.
      2. The parts I enjoyed reading the most were the inspiring stories and challenges of the strong, intelligent, successful black women from all the different industries.
      3. It says on the cover that this is 'The Black Girl Bible' yet, it felt like a majority of the book was spent on educating non-black people on what it is to be black. I felt this platform could have been better used by providing a more insightful, concrete and powerful message for young girls (black or not); to prepare them for the unfair and arduous path ahead. @bookedin3 book review
