Book description
Okay y'all, listen up-this audiobook? It's the career pep talk you've been waiting for, especially if you're a woman of color navigating corporate landmines. Minda Harts' The Memo isn't just another business book that says "work harder" while ignoring the real walls in your way. Nah. She's straight up calling out the ugly truths: microaggressions, the wage gap, that sigh when you're the only one in the room who looks like you. And she does it with such real wit and candor, it feels like she's sitting right next to you, whispering, "Yeah, I've been there too."
Seriously, most career guides are one-size-fits-all, like some generic cookie cutter. But Minda? She's been the fundraising consultant for top colleges, now runs her own powerhouse company (The Memo, y'know?), and she's lived this. So when she breaks down how to actually navigate networking without burning out, or how to handle office politics without selling your soul, it's not theoretical-it's battle-tested. She talks money like it's a normal thing to discuss (no more awkward silence!), and she's not sugarcoating: she'll tell you why you might not have a seat at the table... and then how to get one. No cap.
The best part? It's an audiobook. You can listen while you're commuting, prepping for that big meeting, or just needing a boost. Minda's voice is so warm and engaging-it's like she's your savvy, no-nonsense bestie who's got your back. She doesn't just say "you can do it"-she gives you the actual steps, the scripts, the mindset shifts. Like, "Here's how to ask for that raise without sounding entitled" or "Why your 'quiet confidence' isn't enough when the system's rigged." It's empowering without being preachy, and honestly? It's the kind of advice that makes you go, "Dang, why didn't someone tell me this sooner?"
If you've ever felt like you had to shrink yourself to fit in, or like the career ladder was built with a broken rung just for you, The Memo is your roadmap. It's not just about surviving corporate America-it's about changing it. And listening to Minda's voice, her humor, her "I've been there, I've got you" energy? It's like getting a hug and a strategy session in one. Seriously, if you're a woman of color in the workplace (or even just someone who wants to support one), this isn't just a book-it's a lifeline. You're gonna want to listen to this one twice. Trust me.
