Synopsis

From the powerhouse author of  The Memo, the essential self-help book for women of color to heal—and thrive—in the workplace  

In workplaces nationwide, women of color need frank talk and honest advice on how to deal with microaggressions, heal from racialized trauma, and find relief from invisible workplace burdens. Filled with Minda Harts’s signature wit and warmth, Right Within offers strategies for women of color to speak up during racialized moments with managers and clients, work through past triggers they may not even know still cause pain, and reframe past career disappointments as opportunities to grow into a new path. Through action points, exercises, and clear-eyed coaching, Harts encourages women to summon hidden reserves of strength and courage. She includes advice from therapists and faith leaders of color on a full range of ways to heal. Right Within will help women of color strengthen their resolve across corporate America, ensuring that we can all, finally, rise together.

Goodreads review by Karen

While the primary audience for Minda Harts’ new book is women of color, it’s a critical read for white people who strive to be better allies.

This is a beautiful read for anyone working through the psychosis of racialized abuse in the workplace or even just plain old divestment from white supremacist work culture. For my folx of color, this may be a great way to thaw feelings of isolation, gaslighting, and lack of being heard or defended......more

This book is a must read for all Black women. I have never felt so seen and understood. It should be required reading for all women, especially those who call themselves "allies".......more
