PRAISE FOR Say More About That… “With this book, Amber Cabral delivers another timely gem. She is a gifted communicator—bringing concepts and techniques that are relatable and actionable. Now you can have her as a coach and advisor, too.” —MARK BREITBARD, President and CEO, Global Gap Brand “There is no one more qualified than Amber Cabral to teach on speaking up for yourself. I remember seeing Amber speaking at an inclusion summit for the first time. I was stunned. After working in corporate America for over a decade before starting my own company, I’d seen a lot, but her approach was refreshing, honest, and genuine. The room was mesmerized. Top executives were there taking notes! Presidents of Fortune 500 companies have shared the difference Amber has made in their lives and their business culture. This book, Say More About That… is a must-read.” —BRANDICE N. DANIEL, CEO and Founder, Harlem’s Fashion Row “Amber Cabral’s book Say More About That… will do for you what meeting Amber and learning from her has done for me: help you understand the importance of having a voice and influencing change through inclusive and equitable behaviors. Her real-life examples and pragmatic approach to such a challenging topic will leave you with practical skills to be courageous and speak up on topics that matter.” —BRANDY SISLOW, CHRO, Kendra Scott “As a leading voice in the inclusion space, Amber continues to push the envelope to ensure that her books truly help people to realize their authentic selves. Her writing forces the reader to not only take a look at themselves, but also deep within themselves. Amber never talks over you and instead speaks directly to you while also sharing her own journey to enlightenment. Speakingup is truly a skill that can be learned, and this book will help the reader to understand what that skill looks like so they can take meaningful action for themselves and others.” —REGINALD J. MILLER, VP, Global Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, McDonald’s
