Publisher Description
From microaggressions to the wage gap, The Memo empowers women of color with actionable advice on challenges and offers a clear path to success.
Most business books provide a one-size-fits-all approach to career advice that overlooks the unique barriers that women of color face. In The Memo, Minda Harts offers a much-needed career guide tailored specifically for women of color.
Drawing on knowledge gained from her past career as a fundraising consultant to top colleges across the country, Harts now brings her powerhouse entrepreneurial experience as CEO of The Memo to the page. With wit and candor, she acknowledges "ugly truths" that keep women of color from having a seat at the table in corporate America. Providing straight talk on how to navigate networking, office politics, and money, while showing how to make real change to the system, The Memo offers support and long-overdue advice on how women of color can succeed in their careers.

What a gem!
I’m so happy I started with this book for Black History Month. It has so many gems to navigate the workplace for women of color. I wish I had read this book before I entered the workforce. You learn the importance of networking, advocating for yourself and how to navigate office politics. The author does a great job at providing ressources for professional development too. This is a great book not only for women of color but for men and other races as well as White people. I can’t say enough how precious this book is. What I like the most is that she encourages us the reader to use our voice to change the status quo even if we don’t have a seat at the table. She gives many examples how to proceed with this in her book.
