The Memo: What Women of Color Need to Know to Secure a Seat at the Table

As a white woman I was very curious to read and learn about experiences for women of colour. Thank you Minda for taking the time to write this and through this book you have opened doors for many. Her chapter on Say my name, say my name is amazing and she lists out badass women to get to know and follow. This is a must read for all races and genders.

Highly recommend!!!! for black women who are experienced in the corporate game already or for those who want to “lean in” and better understand the corporate culture from someone who is just like you!Her writing style is matter of fact and the book is filled with anecdotes from her own journey to securing her “seat”. You will definitely find value and practical information in every chapter.

Very American point of view. The author uses lots of slang, the tone feels very vindicative to me.

This book is full of practical career advice for anyone struggling to navigate the unwritten rules of corporate America. What makes The Memo unique is that it centers the experience of black women in the workplace. Harts provides community for women of color and holds the rest of us accountable for overlooking, ostracizing, and excluding the most educated demographic in our talent pool. I am grateful for this work, which accomplished so much in its 240 pages.

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.
