Silicon Valley Girl

In Silicon Valley Girl, May Ijisesan shares a powerful and deeply personal story of what it means to build a career without losing your soul. From being one of three women in her engineering class in Nigeria to becoming the only Black woman in high-tech boardrooms in America, May offers a raw, honest, and inspiring account of navigating ambition, identity, faith, and bias. This is more than a career memoir-it's a call to courage. With vulnerability and wisdom, May unpacks the moments that shaped her: the quiet courage of choosing excellence in unfamiliar spaces, the ache of isolation in corporate America, and the unrelenting power of purpose when doors close or shift.

Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, charting a new path, or rediscovering your voice in a world that rarely makes room for difference, Silicon Valley Girl will challenge you to show up fully-and fearlessly-as who you are.
