Editorial Reviews

Natasha Sistrunk Robinson

"The cultural context and case studies are important educational tools for those who hire, supervise, and work with women of color, and they are necessary considerations for all who seek to call themselves an ally, mentor, sponsor, or supporter of women of color."

Laurie Beth Jones

"What if you could sit on the front porch with Lady Wisdom herself, laugh and cry and learn facts that will shift your thinking and lift you up out of your chair? That is what this book is. I am honored to be a friend."

Jennifer Bartkowski

"Froswa' Booker-Drew creates a welcoming and informative narrative that embraces the realities of being a Christian woman of color in the workplace. This book provides me, a white female leader, even more insights into the systemic barriers to success that are created in my institution that, quite honestly, are often invisible to me. I value reading the real-life testimonies by Froswa' and others who share their vulnerable experiences here, giving me more fuel to address those challenges within the workplace I run. A must-read for all of us striving to make the world a better place."

Aimee Cunningham

"In Front Porch Wisdom, Froswa' Booker-Drew uses her own rich experience and the lived experiences of women of color to create a playbook for BIPOC women to lead, thrive, and succeed by leaning into their expertise, wisdom, and faith. Froswa' challenges each of us to be hard on institutions, soft on people, and kind to ourselves. By challenging White supremacy culture generally, specifically naming its impact on BIPOC women, Froswa' has created a compelling resource for women of color to use in succeeding professionally and personally because of—not in spite of—their identities, experiences, knowledge, and faith."

Jessica Shepherd

"This book is an empowering and insightful read. It is a must-read for women of color seeking to thrive in leadership. Blending timeless biblical principles, decades of executive coaching wisdom, real-world case studies, and actionable advice, it offers a powerful road map for navigating the challenges and opportunities of leadership with grace and impact."

Bethany Rivera Molinar

"Froswa' Booker-Drew is a seasoned professional whose extensive experience and profound expertise shine through in Front Porch Wisdom. This book is exactly what I wish I had years ago stepping into leadership. It offers timeless insights that continue to resonate with me, and I find myself uncovering new layers of wisdom that will guide and sustain me in my work for years to come."

Lorenzo A. Watson

"Froswa' Booker-Drew is a rare voice of wisdom and authenticity in the leadership space. Front Porch Wisdom is a timely gift, offering the guidance leaders have long needed. Froswa's unique ability to weave biblical principles with practical strategies makes this book a transformative resource for those seeking to lead with faith and purpose."

Jin-Ya Huang

"This book is essential for women of color leaders. Froswa' Booker-Drew provides practical, strategic toolkits—ranging from reflective insights to powerful prayers—designed to create lasting, actionable social impact in our communities.
