"Harts offers plenty of advice, as well as...valuable resources like email introduction templates, podcast suggestions, do's and don'ts, and more. The book has been dubbed a Lean In for women of color and will surely be popular, especially among young professional women and those interested in diversity and inclusion."―Booklist"Harts provides a necessary guide written from and to women of color, focusing on "building your squad," navigating office politics, managing in a world that is anything but post racial, and investing in oneself and one's career.... The result is a much-needed new perspective on an overwhelmingly white genre."―Publishers Weekly"We don't have to fight what was once invisible and unspoken, and we don't have to do it alone, unprepared, or with eye rolls and resignations. I'm talking to myself and my daughter here. We can be well informed and make the best choices for our lives and financial well-being even if we don't have an experienced sister or friend or mentor to talk to. We have one now in The Memo. In this eye-opening and timely book, Minda Harts puts words to our discomfort and our at-work slights, and gives us solutions and action steps to help secure our professional development and well being. The Memo is a must read for all women of color in business (and for all people who want to do better)."―Natashia Deón, NAACP Image Award Nominee and author of Grace"Harts provides a necessary guide written from and to women of color . . . followed by a much-needed wake-up call for her white readers, in how-and how not-to be an ally. The result is a much-needed new perspective on an overwhelmingly white genre."―Publishers Weekly"An essential and honest guide to taking our rightful place in the C-Suite with tangible solutions about how to break barriers and pave a new path for ourselves--and the next generation."―Jamia Wilson,

Lean In for women of color: A no-BS look at the odds stacked against women of color in professional settings, from the wage gap to biases and micro-aggressions, with actionable takeaways

The Memo is the much-needed career advice guide for women of color specifically, finally ending the one-size-fits-all approach of business books that lump together women across races and overlook the unique barriers to success for women of color.

In a charismatic and relatable voice, Minda Harts brings her entrepreneurial experience as CEO of The Memo to the page, as well as her past career life as a fundraising consultant to top colleges across the country. With wit and candor, Harts begins by acknowledging the "ugly truths" that keep women of color from getting the proverbial seat at the table in corporate America: micro-aggressions, systemic racism, white privilege, etc. Harts validates that women aren't making up the discrimination they feel, even if it isn't always overt. From there, she gives straight talk on how to address these issues head on, and provides a roadmap to help women of color and their allies make real change to the system.

With chapters on network-building, office politics, money and negotiation, The Memo covers all the basics that any good business book should. But through the author's lens, it offers support and long-overdue advice particularly for women of color.

Excellent and timely read for all women of color! Great job Minda! And thank you for telling our story in plain language. Reading this book is akin to talking to one of my girlfriends. We’ve had many of these conversations over the years. Now we are sharing this book with our nieces, our friends and our cousins.Valuable Practice Strategies and Tools As a woman of color, it's challenging to find a leadership book that feels like it is speaking directly to your experience. This is the book that puts it all on the line and along the way coaches you to get out of your own way and gives you as Minda would say "the sauce". The strategies, tips, and resources shared in this book are unheard of from professionals as everything feels so secretive and uninviting. Minda is changing the game and challenging all us to level up together. This book shines a light on women of color in the workplace and highlights the many frustrations, unwritten rules, and microaggressions we encounter. It's a validation tool that doesn't allow you to feel sorry for yourself. It challenges you to get out of take action in spite of what you may have encountered. The vulnerability shared is beyond appreciated and helps to create a comfortability in making these experiences widely known and holding people accountable. Thank you Minda for a beautiful tribute and guide and for carving out the most needed attention to the challenge of "leaning in" as a woman of color.A Black Woman wrote this ... support her This book will be life changing for Black and Brown Women in the workplace. Minda is letting the truth be known and encouraging black and brown women and men to know their truth.
