When you're a girl of color, figuring out how to find your voice and make sure everyone around you can hear it is essential. CEO and bestselling author Minda Harts knows--she's been there. And she's ready to walk you through it all with her own stories of success and the missteps that helped her grow--from running for high school student council when she was barely tall enough to reach the podium, to starting her own com­pany, The Memo LLC, that helps women of color advocate for themselves and their ca­reers. Now she's here to hype you up and be real with you about:

- Building your squad: what to look for in a friend, finding mentors, and setting boundaries for healthy relationships
- Saying what you mean without saying it mean: prepping yourself for self-advocacy, negotiations, and tough conversations
- Leaning into courage: affirming yourself, dealing with no's, and speaking up even when you feel like the "only one"

With lots of practical advice and real-life anecdotes, as well as questions for reflection and further resources, this book is all about finding your own unique path to success--at school, at work, at home, and beyond. Success is far from magical, but you've al­ready got the tools you need to figure out your next best moves. And your stand-in big sis Minda is here to help you every step of the way!
