From Gaslighting to Truthlighting: A New Framework for Advancing Fair Opportunities for Women in the Workplace - Paperback

by Falguni Shah (Author)

In corporate America, women of color are often asked to prove themselves repeatedly, navigate unspoken rules, and decode silence from managers. While gaslighting diminishes confidence and clouds truth, truthlighting offers a powerful alternative. Coined and defined in this groundbreaking book, truthlighting is a set of intentional behaviors that validate, uplift, and empower individuals-replacing doubt with trust and opacity with clarity.

Drawing from in-depth interviews with minority women across industries, this book goes beyond the promotion process to explore how bias shows up-and how it can be dismantled. It offers actionable guidance for employees, managers, and HR leaders committed to driving systemic change. From Gaslighting to Truthlighting isn't just a critique of what's broken-it's a blueprint for what's possible.
