Jacquie Abram

Jacquie Abram is the international best-selling and award-
winning Author featured in FORBES of Hush Money: How One
Woman Proved Systemic Racism in her Workplace and Kept her
Job.
Before Jacquie began her journey as an Author and DEI and Anti-
racism Consultant, she had a career in higher education that she
was very good at and that she enjoyed. A career that paid her a
lucrative income which, as a single mother of two girls, was the
only income that allowed her to not only provide for her family,
but also to pay her bills. A career that spanned nearly two decades
and by any measure should’ve been a successful career. But it
wasn’t. Because throughout her career, she experienced racism
in the workplace, not the kind you see in a lot of movies, books, and TVs shows about racism that
occurred decades ago during a time when it was more overt and easily spotted, but the kind of
racism that is more covert, hidden, and harder to prove.
As her career was derailed multiple times by multiple employers, she suffered racial trauma that,
to this day, she has not fully recovered from. And when the same thing happened to others
including both of her daughters after they began careers of their own, she pulled herself out of
corporate America, wrote a book inspired by true events and co-authored by her girls, and began
selling that book from the trunk of her car for three important reasons:
1) To provide employers wanting to prevent racism in the workplace with a better way
to understand & identify the covert aspects of modern-day racism you can’t easily
see;
2) To provide employees who are experiencing racial discrimination with the sound
strategy one woman used to fight it, survive the battle, prove it, and keep her job;
3) To put allies who have never experienced racism in the workplace but want to help
into the shoes of a racial discrimination victim to see and feel the FULL impact of
modern-day racism including racial trauma in a REAL way;
