About this ebook

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.

This book is everything!! I've searched for books to speak to Women of the Global Majority and success at work, and this is the only book that gives Actual, Useful, and Relevant strategy. I recommend this book to any woman who seeks to move forward in "the system". I recommend this book to all women of the Global Majority who work, attend school, or deal with white people in their daily lives. I love this book.
