RIGHT WITHIN

Minda Harts

How to Heal From Racial Trauma in the Workplace

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

In these tumultuous times, as workplaces struggle to become truly inclusive, women of color need frank talk and honest advice on how to deal with microaggressions, how to heal from racialized trauma, how to find relief from invisible workplace burdens. The stakes are high, as even Lauryn Hill had put it: "How you gonna win when you ain't right within?" In Right Within, Harts offers essential self-help guidance for readers to learn to steady themselves, steer their outlook, and find much-needed joy at work.

Filled with Harts' signature wit and warmth, Right Within offers strategies for women of color to build confidence, banish imposter syndrome, and move beyond past triggers they may not even know still cause pain. She encourages women of color to advocate for themselves effectively, and also helps reframe the challenges they face, to refocus past career disappointments into opportunities to move forward. Harts not only shares stories and wisdom gained from her personal journey, but she includes advice from therapists and faith leaders on a full range of ways to heal.

Through her company The Memo, Minda Harts has worked with Fortune 500 companies to offer guidance and support for women of color on the rise. Here, through action points and clear-eyed coaching, Harts offers the roadmap to summoning hidden reserves of strength and courage. The path ahead can require hard internal work, but it's worth it if this enables readers to breathe freer and feel more like themselves at work. And in the end, Right Within will help women of color strengthen their voices and resolve across corporate America, ensuring that we can all, finally, rise together.

Minda Harts is the CEO of The Memo LLC, a career development platform for women of color, a Professor of Public Service at NYU Wagner, and the author of The Memo. She has been featured on MSNBC's Morning Joe and Fast Company, and speaks at Fortune 500 companies including Microsoft, Levi's, and Google.

Comments

If you want to be a better champion for your colleagues who have experienced racism at work, or a boss who creates a work environment that heals rather than retraumatizing your employees, this is the book you need to read. Now.

Harts argues that we need to understand that racism kills both people and careers, and that workplace injustices do incredible harm. ... Intended as much as for the women who face the disproportionate amount of workplace discrimination she discusses as well as the people who cause it, Right Within lays out the tools and strategies necessary to dismantle these systemic problems. Finally, the author urges readers to understand there are paths forward, and to remember that they are not alone. A necessary addition to business collections.

Harts highlights that what matters most is valuing you, and trusting yourself enough to push through obstacles faced on a daily basis. A powerful, necessary read for women of color - and everyone - seeking to tap into their resilience from within.

A moving guide to healing and equity - Harts is a voice to be reckoned with. Everyone needs to read this book.

Right Within compels women of color across generations to address racialized trauma by speaking up, healing from the inside, and identifying triggers. You will benefit greatly from putting its wisdom into practice.

With resilience and self-preservation, Harts guides the reader through her personal journey, providing expert advice on how we, too, can overcome and heal from ongoing racial discrimination.
