"A must–have survival guide for women in any male–dominated industry who are trying to break the glass ceiling. I′ve worked in the finance and sports industries for many years and only wish I had access to this book when I began my career. Now that I do, I′m never putting it down!"
—Rama Mandadi, Senior Manager, Managing Properties, National Basketball Association
"Marshawn Evans knows how to dream big dreams and persevere in the face of an uphill battle. She knows how to learn the lessons offered by disappointing setbacks, naysayers, and obstacles that seem as permanent as a brick wall. In this book, she pours out what she has learned in a way that is approachable and friendly."

"S.K.I.R.T.S. in the Boardroom is powerful, straightforward, and a must–read for all women. It addresses the core of what most women want, and it shows them how to realize their dreams without fear or compromise. Through Marshawn′s own experience and intellect, she shares how being mentally tough, spiritually centered, and properly prepared is a powerful combination in any boardroom! This book will make a difference!"
