MORE THAN READY Be Strong and Be You . . . and Other Lessons for Women of Color on the Rise

The former head of President Obama's White House Domestic Policy Council draws on the stories of many prominent women of color to illustrate a timely message: Whether Hispanic, Asian, Black, or Middle Eastern, they faced a variety of obstacles when they became leaders and set out to make a difference. Munoz's narration sounds noble--as if she's carrying the weight of responsibility such trailblazers feel when working in the public arena. She sounds strong as she describes how these women handled their self-doubts and the opposition they faced in the workplace. These stories, plus the author's sophisticated advice on social tactics and maintaining emotional focus, make this a must-hear guide for women of color who have talent they want to share with the world.
