About this listen
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 audio, 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, this overview 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.

In 2015, Arlan Hamilton was on food stamps and sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco airport, with nothing but an old laptop and a dream of breaking into the venture capital business. She couldn’t understand why people starting companies all looked the same (white and male), and she wanted the chance to invest in the ideas and people who didn’t conform to this image of how a founder is supposed to look. Hamilton had no contacts or network in Silicon Valley, no background in finance - not even a college degree. What she did have was fierce determination and the will to succeed.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

Corporate America continues to struggle with racial equity in a post-George Floyd world. As the United States becomes more diverse and the public consciousness continues to shift, successful racial equity efforts in the workplace are needed now more than ever. Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace exposes the ways that white culture and expectations are centered in the modern American workplace and the fears within corporate spaces about talking candidly, openly, and honestly about whiteness, white supremacy, and anti-Blackness.

What really drives workplace equity and inclusion - beyond strategies and systems? The truth is, all historically excluded persons who have broken through to greater levels of professional belonging and achievement have succeeded not by policy and systems change alone, but because of leaders who chose to remove barriers, open doors, and guide them toward their goals. The bottom line? Someone made a way for them. Using case studies, data, and candid storytelling, Tara Jaye Frank outlines how leaders with power and position can clear the path to workplace equity.

Life is a series of negotiations, whether or not you think of yourself as a negotiator. From seemingly insignificant daily decisions to major life choices, you negotiate every time you aim to persuade, argue over a decision, or resolve a conflict. But as negotiations and leadership expert Erica Ariel Fox reveals, the most important negotiations - the ones that determine the impact of our actions and the quality of our lives - are those we have with ourselves.

People are the problem. They're always the problem. If a business person goes home frustrated, if they talk with their significant other about it, if they lay awake at night stewing about it, inevitably the problem is some person at work - a colleague, subordinate, or boss. Handling people issues is every leader's major headache. It's what takes up the majority of their time and - more important - the bulk of their head space. Every leader can and must develop this most important of all management skills.

By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job she’d taken for the health insurance. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees.

Practical, Provocative, Poignant
I’ve been listening to quite a few, women empowerment & leadership books, this was the first one I came across that wasn’t just “motivational ”, or “cheerleader-ish”... it gave real practical advice, steps and resources to advance your career in this corporate jungle. I’m the only Woman in my group, partnered with being the only black Woman on my floor. And I can count the # in my building. And this is a Fortune 10 company in 2019. Minda’s book was hard to listen to sometimes, I did have to turn it off, because you can literally hear the pain in her voice as she recalls some of her worst work moments. Though I haven’t experienced these things personally in the work place, as a black woman, I’m never too far removed from fear of discrimination or biast. Thank you Minda for having the courage to create this book, and for the resources and roadmap you provide. I encourage any woman of color in a corporate environment interested in taking their career to the next level to read it as well.

This was a great book that came with perfect timing in my life. Reading this book reminded me that I wasn't crazy and that my experiences as a women of color were real. I appreciate Minda for going the extra mile to guide us on how to navigate the broken system that has been designed to try and break us. Her guidance, resources and many insights are invaluable.

A true treasure of its time and arguably the best book of the decade. Minda Harts slays as she facilitates a much overdue conversation regarding how women of color are to create their seat at the workplace table, while unapologetically holding white counterparts accountable for making sure that they are on the right side of HERSTORY.

Great Book, Soo Necessary, Thank You!
A Great Message, Like a great song, makes for enjoyable & easy listening. I hear your voice & see your passion in my own experiences. At times, the messages lost resonance, as if you were getting sleepy while reading. While I get your love for current music & the genius of some lyrics, some of the references were lost on me & maybe others of the older generation. It Doesn't make the quotes any less meaningful to the actual points they referenced. Over All, I found much to digest & can apply right this moment! Thank You for sharing your heart, wisdom & talent & may God Continue to Bless you.
