Summary
The long-awaited, inspirational guide to life for a generation of black British women inspired to make lemonade out of lemons, and find success in every area of their lives.
‘This book is a gift for anyone who wants to better understand what Black women and girls are up against – and the tremendous resources they draw upon as they make their way in the world’ Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org
Slay In Your Lane is a brilliant book about what it is like to be a woman, black and a Londoner in 2018. Everyone should read it’ Sadiq Khan
‘Black women today are well past making waves – we’re currently creating something of a tsunami. Women who look like us, grew up in similar places to us, talk like us, are shaping almost every sector of society.’
From education to work to dating, this inspirational, honest and provocative book recognises and celebrates the strides black women have already made, while providing practical advice for those who want to do the same and forge a better, visible future.
Illustrated with stories from best friends Elizabeth Uviebinené and Yomi Adegoke’s own lives, and using interviews with dozens of the most successful black women in Britain – including BAFTA Award-winning director Amma Asante, British Vogue publisher Vanessa Kingori and Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis – Slay In Your Lane is essential listening for a generation of black women inspired to find success in every area of their lives.

A must for all...not just black women
Every chapter was informative and hit home to me as a professional black woman.
Really enjoyed the input from such a wide range of black women.

Eye opening
So well written. As a black woman living in England, it made me cry so much, feel angry, feel depressed, feel empowered, but still gave me hope, hearing from other black women that have succeeded. Put to paper so so much that I have thought, but didn't have the words to express.

Amazing Book
I absolutely love this book. I'm 31 years old and I related to every single topic discussed in this book. I'm so happy that my daughter who is 9 will have this book to read before she steps out into the real world. She will know how to Slay In Her Lane and will not experience half the things I did growing up!

Fantastic book for black British females
Absolutely recommend this book for black British females especially those in their late teens and 20s who are finding their way though life. This book will make you realise that you are not alone in your struggles and that there are other females just like you, who understand EXACTLY what you are going though. From dating, to work progressions and those little comments that people make that make you question whether you are just “just being sensitive”, this book encapsulates the black girl experience. Read it, educate yourself and be inspired. I cannot thank the authors enough.

A must read for every black female!
I loved this book! It stirred up so many emotions. It had me nodding as I had shared similar experiences to many of those mentioned, and had me shaking my head in disbelief, at some of the statistics discussed. I feel inspired after reading this book. Thank you so much to Yomi and Elizabeth, for bringing this book to fruition.
