by Susan Roberts

What if the traditional narrative about immigrant women--that those who come to the United States will succeed as long as they work hard, stay focused, and have supportive families--is a lie?

Of the 73 million women in the US workforce, 11.5 million are foreign-born. The truth is--even in the midst of headlines and political debates about immigration reform and in the wake of MeToo and other female-centric movements--millions of immigrants, especially women, aren’t living their fullest potential.

Based on her personal experience and the stories of trailblazing women from around the world and in diverse industries, author Chinwe Esimai shares five indispensable traits that make an ocean of difference between immigrants who live as mere shadows of their truest potential and those who find purpose and fulfillment--what Chinwe refers to as their immigrace:

Saying yes to your immigrace, an immigrant woman’s expression of her highest purpose and potential

Daring to play in the big leagues

Transforming failure

Embracing change and blending differences

Finding joy and healing

These five traits are the foundation of the Brilliance Blueprint, a step-by-step guide to help readers achieve to their own extraordinary results and build their own remarkable legacies.

Brilliance Beyond Borders is a book for every female immigrant who is working hard to be successful in their careers.  These women get a double dose of prejudice -- for being a woman and for being an immigrant.  This wonderful new book gave examples of immigrant women from all areas of employment and the hurdles that faced them as they tried to succeed.  The seventeen women who are featured in this book accomplished their goals and are real inspirations.
