About this listen

From microaggressions to the wage gap, The Memo empowers women of color with actionable advice on challenges and offers a clear path to success.

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.

Drawing on knowledge gained from her past career as a fundraising consultant to top colleges across the country, Harts now brings her powerhouse entrepreneurial experience as CEO of The Memo to this book. With wit and candor, she acknowledges "ugly truths" that keep women of color from having a seat at the table in corporate America. Providing straight talk on how to navigate networking, office politics, and money, while showing how to make real change to the system, The Memo offers support and long-overdue advice on how women of color can succeed in their careers.

The truth and honesty in this book, the way she spoke, made it as if I was talking to one of my friends. This audiobook provided clarity and I have already put some of the practices in motion. I’d highly recommend!

I really appreciated the authors authenticity. It came through in her voice. I could feel her emotion and it resonated with me.

This book was sooooo relatable. I felt seen, heard, and understood. Minda’s journey felt similar to my own, and I’ve gone through very similar situations as I’ve “climbed the ladder”. However, there were tons of gems that Minda wrote about in this book that are going to catapult my career to the next level.

I’m sooooooooo glad I read/listened to The Memo. Halfway through I started recommended it to others. I believe The Memo movie is in the works, starring Kyla Pratt, and I can’t wait to see it. Keep up the great work Minda Harts!
