TRIUMPH IN THE TRENCHES

The Green Book for Black Professionals

Something feels off. You know it.
Maybe people told you that you are imagining things.
Maybe they said you are too sensitive.
Maybe they told you to keep the peace.

But deep down, you already know it is not you.
It's the system.

The Triumph anthology series helps you name what is happening, reclaim what the system tried to strip away, and rebuild yourself with clarity and strength. And each volume ends with reflection questions to help you process and apply what you learn.

Why An Anthology

Workplace harm shows up everywhere.
Across every industry.
At every level.
With every degree.
From hospitals to tech. From corporate offices to education. From interns to executives.

It does not matter if you are a PhD or fresh out of high school.
It does not matter if you earn six figures or hourly pay.
The patterns repeat.

That is why Triumph includes Black men and women with different titles, backgrounds, and paths. When you see yourself in a story from someone with a similar background, it confirms what you sensed. When you see yourself in a story from someone with a completely different background, the truth becomes undeniable.

You are not the problem.
The system was designed for you to lose.

One story can be dismissed.
A collection of stories is too loud to ignore.

Award-Winning and Bestselling

The Triumph series is a bestseller and finalist in the Indie Book Awards for African American Nonfiction.

The recognition matters because Triumph is not traditional professional development.

Most books teach you how to adjust to dysfunction.
How to fit in.
How to perform with excellence while shrinking yourself.
How to optimize yourself into exhaustion.

This series refutes that idea.

They ask questions other books avoid.

1. What if peace is found somewhere else?
2. What if you stay but on your own terms?
3. What if the system is not worth winning in?
4. What if you build something of your own instead?

Triumph invites you to imagine options you were never allowed to consider.

About the Cover

The cover of Triumph in the Trenches is green in honor of Victor Hugo’s Green Book for Negro Motorists—a guide that once helped Black travelers find safety and belonging on uncertain roads. The hot air balloons nod to a different kind of navigation.

During the Civil War, balloons were used for aerial reconnaissance, giving scouts the ability to rise above the battlefield and see what couldn’t be seen from the ground.

This book offers a higher vantage point. A broader view and the clarity to move forward on your own terms.

Through these stories, you’ll learn to:

• Reclaim your vision and value
• Recognize patterns of adversity
• Redefine your definition of success
• Resist internalizing harm and stand in your worth
• Reframe rest and resistance as essential, not optional
