A Message of Self-Acceptance and Empowerment
“Own Your Color” is the story of author Shikha Bajaj and all women finding success while staying true to themselves. Color, in the context of this book, means embracing the “whole you” – your
strengths, values, beliefs, and imperfections.
It teaches women to start owning their uniqueness. It helps them discover the power of being authentic and gives them courage to dream big and take massive action to design their best life possible. Through Shikha’s personal experience as well as those of other women who overcome self-doubt and challenges, she inspires women to dream big and have the courage to make it happen.

As an executive leader, a man of color and someone who is passionate about pursuing your life’s purpose. I picked this book up and had a hard time putting it down. The perspective the author offers 100% doesn’t only resonate with women, as I found it extremely relatable myself. The stories shared and strategies provided to overcome adversities that all too often we believe are unique to our journey proved to be invaluable to me. The self-mentoring M.E.N.T.O.R tool/framework offered in the book is a true gem and a practice I have since adopted. I now feel a strong sense of motivation and a call to action to help others through mentorship and to really strive to share my excellence with the world. I already purchased a second copy of this book to gift to my mentee. I look forward to reviewing it with her as I’m confident she will gain a tremendous amount of insight from it. —A Must Read
