Forget polished playbooks and sanitized lessons—this is a business memoir and career journey rooted in lived experience, not theory. It’s the raw, unfiltered story of a woman who began as a casino dealer and went on to sell her startup in one of the fastest exits in the industry. What if the...

Rooted in the realities of systemic barriers and the sharp intersection of race and gender, this essential guide confronts the pervasive challenges that traditional workplace frameworks completely overlook. Rather than offering generic career advice, this book exposes the concrete ceiling, the corrosive impact of daily microaggressions, and the deep isolation caused by invisibility and harmful stereotypes.

Paula Blankenship, founder of Heirloom Traditions paint company and Forbes-dubbed “Queen of Paint,” had an unconventional path to building a business empire, all while navigating many of life’s unexpected turns. Her story is a blueprint for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or convinced they need to tear everything down to start over. As Paula’s life proves, meaningful change doesn’t require a complete life overhaul, unlimited resources, or perfect timing.

She satisfies every requirement. Exceeds every expectation. And still gets passed over. If you've ever watched someone less qualified get the opportunity you earned, while you carried the team, stayed late, and said nothing, this book was written for you. Overqualified. Overworked. Overlooked is the career book no one had the courage to write until now. Author Deondriea Cantrice exposes the invisible trap high-achieving professional women fall into: the belief that hard work alone will be recognized, rewarded, and enough. It isn't. And deep down, you already know that.

The purpose of this book is to help authors claarify their goals and set a realistic path for book sales in 2026.
