I probably would’ve have enjoyed this more as an audio book because the writing style wasn’t for me. It felt very group chatty and it just didn’t work for me personally so I couldn’t get past the 4th chapter. This is helpful book for someone who is just getting into the workforce and some of the resources will come in handy but overall it didn’t provide much for me

This book was very helpful and relevant. I am going to purchase this book and use some of the advice that Minda Hart’s has recommended.

This book felt like a conversation with a homegirl about our issues at work! I loved her personal stories, the advice and tips, but truly appreciated the email templates, list of career coaches, the Professional Development Platforms and Conferences. Minda is a Black woman who sincerely wants to see other Black women get ahead! I totally struggle with networking (I’m a Black woman who truly believes in no new friends and day ones only), but this has opened my eyes to how this could be hurting me professionally. Maybe even personally in some ways. Recommending this book to every woman I know, including my 13 year old daughter, and plan to invest in a career coach!

Overall I think this book is good. In my opinion the intended audience could be freshly graduated (HS or college) women. As an almost 30 year old some of the information was known to me but I did appreciate the tools, resources, and self-reflection/guiding questions. Chapter 8 threw me off a bit because it’s written to our counterparts and I get what was said and its relevance but also don’t see this chapter benefiting the book’s intended audience. I also listened to the audiobook and at a certain point I was a little over the song lyrics and celebrity references

As a black woman I was excited to read this book. I really wanted to love it but it read more like a guide to assimilating in the workplace. Don’t get me wrong she does provide some great tips. But I don’t want a seat at the table if it means I still have to wear a mask.

This book is great for any woman who wants to learn the career game. It is a must read for WOC especially African/Black American. I read and listen to lots of business self help books but this is written to tackle the fears and lack of knowledge many WOC have with work. This book appropriate for new to the workforce and seasoned professionals, it has something for everyone.

Helpful, hopeful and quick moving story! Shines an important spotlight and discusses areas of the workplace struggles women of color face that are not often given a platform
