"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. Harts is the founder of The Memo, a career development platform for women of color, and she conducts diversity worshops at companies across the country. In her book, she brings her wealth of business insights to the page. With wit and candor, she acknowldges 'ugly truths' that keep women of color from being equally valued and promoted in corporate America. She provides stories and concrete examples for how to navigate networking, office politics, and money and shows how to make a firm, but professional stand to change a biased system. The Memo offers support and essential advice on how women of color can succeed in their careers."
