STRONG recommend
I discovered Ursula Burns through Malcolm Gladwell's book, "Revenge of the Tipping Point". She is an incredible role model and amazing human.
I read this as an audiobook, but narration is not Ursula's forte - I would recommend a digital or physical copy instead.
Ursula shares her life in a deep and real way without sugar-coating anything. Her life from the tenements of the Lower East Side of Manhattan to the Xerox boardroom is amazing!
Yes, Ursula is a capitalist, but a capitalist with a heart!
