Mercy Nyabwala

Boardroom Coup: The Last Man Standing Won’t Be a Man by Mercy Nyabwala is a powerful memoir-manifesto that blends personal narrative with social critique. From her childhood in Nyakach to the boardrooms of multinationals, Nyabwala traces her journey through the barriers of patriarchy, cultural biases, and systemic exclusion. She redefines the so-called “glass ceiling” as reinforced concrete and calls for a radical restructuring - a boardroom coup, to dismantle entrenched gender hierarchies. Part autobiography, part social commentary, the book sheds light on girlhood battles, the transformative role of education, the politics of corporate spaces, and the legacy of women who refuse to conform. It is both a deeply personal story of resilience and a rallying cry for women determined to claim their place at the table of power.
