    Book: The Memo: What Women OF Color Need To Know To Secure A Seat AT The Table

    Author: Minda Harts

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book was about Color women securing the seat at a table. It lets you know sometimes that you need to step out of the box. Go to the golf courses, the happy hours and networking events. You have to get out to be put in higher positions.

    We always have an excuse to not go to working events. The excuse we give is we are tired, want to watch a show, relax, etc…… We just need to go because we miss out on different opportunities and see what everyone is talking about after hours.

    This book gives you knowledge gained from some of the author’s careers and what she learned. This book was not a big book at all, very simple to read. It gives advice on how to be a CEO, how to ask for more money and to take chances.

    Book: The Memo

    This book here was good. It tells you about the different stories on how to secure a seat at the table. It teaches you to ask for more. Know your worth. The book speaks on women of color getting paid what they deserve. You could have the same title and job as others and get paid less money and take it because you think it’s enough even if it’s not enough for all the work that you do.

    This book is an eye opener. I have been a full-time entrepreneur for a year now. It’s hard but it’s worth it. To be investing a lot of time in my business and not someone else’s business to get them to the top. If you want more and want to do it, better take the leap and jump. Every entrepreneur starts off rough, but the finish line is what matters. Make a plan and execute it.

    Also in this book it tells you to go to networking events and even if you are tired still go to those social events. Those social events open doors. I read before that hanging at the golf course and happy hour is great to really get your feet in doors.

    This book came right at a good time because sometimes I just don’t know what the next step is or where it is going to come from. I pray and then write out a plan and go for it. Check out this book and tell me what you think. It’s not a big book but it’s a great book to read. I really needed this book.
