embrace it as a positive and powerful asset.
Williams describes how her own career has been positively
influenced by making strategic and intentional decisions about
her appearance, what works best and when, all while staying true
to her own personal style and values. Regardless of the decade,
whether they were entering the workforce, seeking a leadership
role, or looking to ascend to the C-suite, women (and even men)
have always felt the professional need to embody a certain
aesthetic appeal and individual personal power. Women,
especially, have been sold the lie that being “pretty” comes at
the expense of being taken seriously and that being “pretty” and
being capable are mutually exclusive. In PRETTY POWERFUL, Eboni
K. Williams encourages readers to reject the knee-jerk reaction
to be shamed by this potential advantage and to stop leaving this
incredibly powerful asset unused.

In each chapter, Williams is joined by other powerful women like
Meghan McCain, Marcia Clark, and Desiree Rogers and explores how
many others have learned to balance their “prettiness” with
substance—to both look the part and express their intelligence in
a way that is authentic and respected. While opinions may have
differed through time, one fact remains: a personal “pretty”
brand is perhaps the most immediate and obvious tool in a woman’s
professional arsenal.
