**"This much-needed career advice guide fills the gap created by
other books that lump together women of all races and overlook the
unique barriers to access and success that exist for women of
color, with chapters on networking, office politics, money and
negotiation."--B.L.A.C. Magazine
"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, director and publisher of the Feminist Press
"For any woman, at any company -- even her own. To secure a seat at
the table, securing this book comes first."--Danyel Smith, culture
journalist and former editor of Billboard and Vibe

must-read."--Essence
"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
"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 micro aggressions 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."--Cindy Gallop, founder and CEO of
MakeLoveNotPorn
"Packed with strategic and tactical wisdom for women of color in
the workplace."--Forbes.com
"Pursuing a dynamic career as a woman of color in fast-paced,
competitive, and often white-dominated spaces no easy feat. But
with The Memo, Minda Harts has created a comprehensive and
compelling guide on how to navigate our careers in spite of the
obstacles we face. With lots of insight, research, and a nice dose
of humor, Harts gives her reader the inspiration and motivation to
go for her dreams -- no matter how daunting. This book is a
must-read."--Zeba Blay, senior culture writer at Huffington
Post
"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 De�n, NAACP Image Award Nominee
and author of Grace
