The Language of Success is a story of survival, self-improvement, and accomplishment. In these pages, the author walks us through her sometimes-tumultuous upbringing in a 'milky-white' town of little diversity, while striving to understand the bigger world around her. From leaving home at 15 and facing daily challenges of survival, to finding those paths to non-traditional education and opportunities - this unorthodox route into the world of business and later linguistics showcases the opportunities and 'go with your guts' intuition that often lead to places you never dreamed of.
