520    "Find your voice and use it to lead us to a better future,
       with this game-changing blueprint for redefining what 
       power and authority sound like--from a Hollywood 
       communication expert. Anyone who has ever been told "You 
       should speak up!" during a meeting at the office, a group 
       project at school, or even a conversation among friends 
       can attest to the misunderstanding at the heart of that 
       demand. For those of us--including women, people of color,
       immigrants, and queer folks--who find it hard to speak up,
       the issue is not just about willpower. Many of us have 
       internalized the same messages since birth: that because 
       of the pitch of our voice, the accent we possess, or the 
       slang we use, we will not be taken seriously. Power, we're
       told, sounds like the mostly white, straight, wealthy men 
       who wield it. Samara Bay--one of the most in-demand speech
       and dialect coaches in Hollywood--has made it her mission 
       to change that, and with Permission to Speak she presents 
       a fun and practical road map for making big cultural 
       change while embracing our natural strengths. Drawing on 
       her experience plus the latest research in public speaking,
       linguistics, and social science, she identifies tools for 
       unlocking the potential in each of our voices--whether 
       you're an entrepreneur, a new political candidate, a 
       creative type with a bold vision, or a mom going back to 
       work. Giving yourself permission means more than landing 
       your message--it's about showing up when you show up and 
       finding joy in speaking to your public. With simple tools,
       big ideas, and a whole lot of heart, Permission to Speak 
       offers a revolutionary take on public speaking and a new 
       definition of what power sounds like. Namely, you"--
