Drawing on first-hand clinical insight and scientific research, this guide book offers advice on how women of color can be high-performing and successful professionally, without sacrificing their physical, mental, and emotional wellness—a "must-have for Black women" (LaTonya Summers, PhD LMHC LCMHC-S).

Black and brown women have been making profound strides in leadership and professional achievement, despite facing the added hurdles of both sexism and racism in the workplace. But so often, excelling at work comes at the expense of their wellness. The chronic stressors and demands on Black women can result in negative physical health outcomes such as sleep disturbance, hypertension, diabetes, and negative mental health outcomes including anxiety and depression. We cannot talk about career advancement for Black and brown women without talking about strategies that promote their total wellbeing.

Playing a New Game offers women a new way forward, in which ambition and wellness can not only coexist, but bolster each other. With insights from her 20 years of professional counseling experience and extensive research, mental health expert Dr. Tammy Wilborn expands the dialogue on BIPOC womens' experiences of race and gender stereotypes at work, exploring them as a wellness issue.

Through her evidence-based best practices that promote self-care and self-empowerment as necessary tools for professional success, Black and brown women can flip the script by prioritizing their wellness even as they advance professionally.
