OLD HICKORY, Tenn. - s4story -- The bestselling anthology, Triumph in the Trenches: Navigating Success for Black Professionals, was named a finalist in the Nonfiction category of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, the world's largest international awards program for independent authors and publishers.

Edited by Elona Washington, the book sheds light on the challenges Black professionals face and offers guidance for navigating adversity, rebuilding after workplace trauma, and reclaiming personal agency in the face of systemic inequities.

The anthology likens its contributors to Civil War-era scouts who used hot air balloons for aerial reconnaissance, offering readers an elevated vantage point to:
Following its initial success, Volume 2 was released in February 2025, continuing the mission to amplify real voices and lived truths. Volume 3 is currently in development, with co-author recruitment underway for a February 2026 release.
