As BIPOC leaders, navigating environments where your expertise is questioned or undermined can leave you doubting your own reality. This free resource offers a different approach. This is not a resource with scripted comebacks. It shares wellness-centered strategies aligned with the five Abuntu principles.

This guide provides practical tools to:

• Recognize your body's signals during challenging interactions

• Ground yourself in your core values when your reality is questioned

• Leverage community support without exhausting yourself

• Respond with intention rather than reaction

• Trust your inner wisdom when others try to redefine your experience

Responding to gaslighting with integrity begins with honoring your well-being first. Download this free resource to transform how you navigate these challenging workplace dynamics while staying true to yourself.
