About the book
Minda Harts addresses career advice specifically to women of color, rejecting guides that treat women of all races as one group. Drawing on her work as chief executive of The Memo and an earlier career as a fundraising consultant to colleges, she begins by naming the obstacles to a seat at the table in corporate America, including microaggressions, white privilege and systemic racism. She then offers direct advice on facing those issues, with chapters on building networks, office politics, money and negotiation, and a roadmap for women of color and their allies to change the system.
Advertising consultant Cindy Gallop endorsed it as a practical career guide for women of color and an honest account of the barriers they face, one she said every white man and woman should read.

Minda Harts hasn't just written an excellent, down to earth, pragmatically actionable guide to career success for women of color; she's written a searingly accurate and brutally honest account of what it's like to be Black while working and the countless barriers and microaggressions women of color face, that needs to be read by every white woman and man so that everyone can work together to break those barriers down forever. The Memo is a must-buy, a must-read, and a must-gift--I'd recommend every Chief Diversity Officer and HR department provide copies for all of management to read.
