In under 72 hours, Playing the Game While Black Womaning in Corporate America™ became the #1 Amazon Bestseller in Business: Diversity & Inclusion—fueled by Black women and amplified by the broader Black community.
WASHINGTON, May 31, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A viral LinkedIn post by Natasha D. Wade has ignited a cultural moment, and a movement. In under 72 hours, the debut book Playing the Game While Black Womaning in Corporate America™ by Nicole S. Palmer, skyrocketed to the #1 spot on Amazon's Business Diversity & Inclusion Bestsellers list—fueled by Black women, and amplified by the broader Black community.
What began as a personal reflection on the corporate trauma Black women endure became a rallying cry:
"She cookin' so bad, the ancestors asking for to-go plates." —Natasha D. Wade
With over 22,000 impressions, 700+ reactions, 200+ comments, and 50+ reposts, the LinkedIn post evolved into something bigger: a collective reckoning. Now, it's a full-on movement, including a brand-new virtual book club, built for and by Black women.

Since its release in November 2024, Palmer's book has maintained a consistent presence in Amazon's Top 100 bestsellers across all its genres. But it was this week's grassroots boost—unpaid, unsponsored, and unapologetically communal—that catapulted it to #1.
