Hush Money

 



HUSH MONEY: 


Colorado Springs authors Delilah Harris, Jacquie Abram, and Deborah Harris chronicle the story of a resilient Black woman fighting systemic racism in Corporate America in their new book “HUSH MONEY”

Local authors Delilah Harris, Jacquie Abram, and Deborah Harris, recently released an amazing new book in “HUSH MONEY,” where they narrate the story of a twenty-eight-year-old Black woman and her struggles with systemic racism in her workplace. Inspired by true events, “HUSH MONEY: How One Woman Proved Systemic Racism in her Workplace and Kept her Job” is currently available on Amazon.

The issue of racism has been a century-long problem that unfortunately seems unresolvable. And although several initiatives have been put in place to address this scourge due to the Black Lives Matter movement and the racial reckoning occurring around the world, the systemic nature of racism has made it even more difficult to effectively address the issue and its inherent problems. In “Hush Money,” the authors shine more light on the issue with the case study of Ebony, a strong, resilient Black woman who was living in poverty with her mother, struggling to make ends meet, and longing for a chance to live the American dream.  

After years of working dead-end jobs, Ebony obtained employment with an organization that put her on the path to accomplishing her goal of living the American dream.  But things quickly took a turn for the worst when Ebony's boss resigned unexpectedly and was replaced with a racist one, and the American dream, the dream that made her believe she would have the same opportunities as everyone else, became a living nightmare as she was abused, humiliated, and stripped of all dignity, confidence, and strength year after year.

Eventually, Ebony found courage, learned how to fight back through trial and error, and made the transition from racial discrimination victim to racial discrimination victor.

In writing “HUSH MONEY: How One Woman Proved Systemic Racism in her Workplace and Kept her Job”, the authors seek to inspire readers to rise above any challenge and fight every form of injustice.
