Rest Rise Reclaim: Leadership Lessons for Black Women who Lead
by Beverley A. Powell
Black women have always led, with strength, with vision, and too often with the heavy weight of silence and sacrifice. In Rest Rise Reclaim, Beverley A. Powell shares her extraordinary journey from childhood in Lancashire, rooted in Jamaican heritage, through a groundbreaking career in policing, prisons, and coaching. With honesty and courage, she reveals what it means to navigate leadership while facing racism, imposter syndrome, and the relentless "Superwoman" expectations placed on Black women.
But this is more than memoir, it is a call to liberation. Celebrating Black joy, creativity, and community, Powell introduces the L.I.F.T. model-Leadership, Identity, Fulfilment, Togetherness-as a framework for leading with authenticity, rest, and unapologetic power.
This is a book for every Black woman who has been told she must endure, and for those ready to rise, reclaim, and lead on their own terms.
"For the Black women who lead, and the foremothers who lit the path."
