Jacquie Abram is the international best-selling and award-winning Author of Hush Money: How One Woman Proved Systemic Racism in her Workplace and Kept her Job. She has been featured in Forbes, Spectrum News, CBS News, and ABC News and is a #1 Amazon Seller, as well as the recipient of the Readers Favorite gold medal for social issues novels. Before Jacquie began her journey as an Author and DEI/Anti-racism Consultant, she had a career in higher education that spanned nearly two decades. A career that paid her a lucrative income which, as a single mother of two girls, was important because she was both mom and dad. A career that by any measure should’ve been a successful career. But it wasn’t. Because throughout her career, she experienced racism in the workplace, not the overt racism that is easy to spot, but the kind of racism that is covert, hidden, and harder to prove. After Jacquie’s career was derailed multiple times by multiple employers and she suffered severe racial trauma, she pulled herself out of corporate America to save her sanity, self-published Hush Money, a book inspired by true events and co-authored by her daughters, and sold it from the trunk of her car at parks and pop-up shops. Today, Hush Money continues to be read in numerous countries around the world because it’s not just another book about systemic racism. For employees, it’s a roadmap for fighting back against racism in the workplace and not walking away empty handed. For employer’s, it’s a compass for identifying covert racism because they can’t fight what they can’t see.
