Right Within: How to Heal from Racial Trauma in the Workplace by Minda Harts

3.0

The book was alright. It is relevant, it is needed, but it also didn’t do anything for me. And it’s not the book’s fault, it’s mine. I acknowledge that I absolutely loathe self help books yet I continue to read them because a part of me believes that I will one day read a book that will change my life. But that hasn’t happened yet, and I continue to pick up book after book and get disappointed when I find the same advice being repeated.

I don’t want to undermine the importance for black women and other women of color to find healing from racial trauma. It is absolutely pivotal for career advancement and our own mental health and sanity. So if you read this book, I do hope that you take something from its pages and if not, at least be comforted by the fact that you’re not alone in the racial trauma you’ve experienced.
