WanderWomen

How High-Skilled Immigrant Women Thrive
by Shivangi Walke

Wanderwomen Book

WanderWomen is more than a book; it is a rallying cry for high-skilled immigrant women to reclaim their power and rewrite the narrative that often sidelines their voices. It is a practical meditation, a guide for women navigating unfamiliar territories in their careers and lives, burdened by unspoken barriers and the pressure to conform.

Written for those who’ve been told to hold back—WanderWomen is an antidote to self-doubt and a roadmap to creative and professional empowerment. It urges high-skilled immigrant women to defy expectations, harness their resilience, and thrive in spaces where they’ve been made to feel like outsiders. Much like a master class wrapped in memoir, WanderWomen delves into deeply personal stories while offering tangible strategies. At its core, it asks: How do we rise above cultural and professional biases? How do we transcend fear and create a space for ourselves?

Through raw, reflective storytelling, Shivangi Walke offers a blend of personal insight and actionable guidance, helping readers forge their own paths to leadership. This is a book for every immigrant woman who has ever felt silenced. It’s about standing unapologetically in your truth, turning the very elements that have made you feel different into the cornerstone of your power. Through each chapter, WanderWomen calls you to dare to dream beyond boundaries and redefine the very notion of belonging!

Why I Wrote This Book

As a high-skilled immigrant woman, I’ve personally faced the challenges of proving myself in unfamiliar environments. WanderWomen was born from my desire to help others like me recognize their strengths, navigate obstacles, and redefine leadership. This book reflects interviews with over 100 inspiring women and my 25 years of coaching experience.

I’m Shivangi Walke, a Leadership Branding coach and founder of ThriveWithMentoring. Inspired by my own career setback post-maternity leave, I am passionate about spotlighting the unique struggles and triumphs of immigrant women and building a global movement of empowerment through WanderWomen.
