Welcome to Business in Heels! Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Dare to Rise: A Collection of Courage from Eight Remarkable Women with two extraordinary authors, Terri Wilby and Baishakhi Connor.

Baishakhi, a seasoned corporate executive and mentor, opens up about the struggle of rediscovering herself beyond her career. In Love, Loss, and New Beginnings, she shares a deeply personal journey of navigating change, overcoming heartbreak, and leaning on the power of community.
