“You are Enough!”

Reclaiming Your Career and Your Life with Purpose, Passion, and Unapologetic Authenticity

From renowned executive and communications strategist Charlene Wheeless comes You Are Enough! — a bold, honest, and empowering memoir that blends personal story with professional wisdom.

Charlene shares her journey climbing the corporate ladder while battling breast cancer and breaking barriers as a Black woman in leadership. Through it all, she learned this truth: success isn’t about perfection — it’s about courage, clarity, and refusing to be underestimated.

Her story is not just her own — it’s a mirror for anyone who’s been told they’re too much or not enough.

Because empowered people empower people.

Cancer taught me something no corner office ever could:

Even kindness can become a burden when you can’t say no.

When I was in treatment, friends wanted to visit.

But every visit took energy
