“An essential and honest guide to taking our rightful place in the C-Suite with tangible solutions about how to break barriers and pave a new path for ourselves and the next generation.”
“Harts offers plenty of advice, as well as valuable resources like email introduction templates, podcast suggestions, do’s and don’ts, and more. The book has been dubbed a Lean In for women of color and will surely be popular, especially among young professional women and those interested in diversity and inclusion.”
“Harts provides a necessary guide written from and to women of color, focusing on ‘building your squad,’ navigating office politics, managing in a world that is anything but post racial, and investing in oneself and one’s career.... The result is a much-needed new perspective on an overwhelmingly white genre.”
“We don’t have to fight what was once invisible and unspoken, and we don’t have to do it alone, unprepared, or with eye rolls and resignations. I’m talking to myself and my daughter here. We can be well informed and make the best choices for our lives and financial well-being even if we don’t have an experienced sister or friend or mentor to talk to. We have one now in The Memo. In this eye-opening and timely book, Minda Harts puts words to our discomfort and our at-work slights, and gives us solutions and action steps to help secure our professional development and well being. The Memo is a must read for all women of color in business.”
