Publisher's Synopsis
Ever felt like the rules don't apply the same when it's you?
When they speak up, it's bold-but when you do it, it's "aggressive."
When they win, it's celebrated-but when you shine, it's called "showing off."
When they hustle, it's genius-but when you do it, you're a threat?
This book is for every person who's had to smile through stereotypes, navigate double standards, and dim their light just to fit in.
Terrance Ammons breaks down the real-life contradictions we face in relationships, workplaces, culture, success, and even within our own communities.
Raw. Real. Relatable.
From side-eyes when you level up...
To silence when you speak truth...
To rules that change depending on the color of your skin or the zip code you come from-
This book flips the script and exposes it all.
Why you're labeled angry for standing up
Why success comes with both claps and shade
Why mental health ain't treated equally
Why we create culture-but rarely own it
And why it's time to stop apologizing for being powerful
This isn't just a book-it's a cultural mirror.
If you've ever felt like you're "too much" for the world around you, this book will remind you that you're exactly enough.
