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.

Great
Read this one after reading “ The Right Within”. Loved it. I really wish I had this resource when I entered the workplace as a woman of color, but nevertheless it’s teachings are still relevant now. Thanks!
Recommended to Black Women in Corporate Spaces
This is the first book that has finally given me the directions and guidance I have been looking for in my advertising career. As much as corporations are still behind on realizing diversity in the workplace is importance for innovative experiences, Minda really hits the narrative on what black and brown women should be doing to not only get a seat at the table but secure it as well. I absolutely enjoyed this book and will snag a copy of “the Right Within” when I have a chance.
Never knew how much I needed this book
It was amazing, well-written, and powerful. In my journey of discovery I never knew how much I needed to read this. Especially being younger than the author, it gives me helpful tips to keep in mind as I navigate my career.
