Minority Leader

Minority Leader is a vital audiobook guide, which leverages the advantages of being an outsider. The book was written by Stacey Abrams, the world's most renowned black female politician. Networking, tenacity, and dedication are necessary elements for job advancement. Yet, for individuals like Stacey Abrams and many members of the New American Right, it requires more.

Stacey grew up in a working-poor household in Gulfport, Mississippi, and rose from humble beginnings to Yale Law School and a career in C-suite businesses. Not long after that, she became the first female leader of all parties in the Georgia General Meeting. She was also the first African American ever to become a leader in the Houses of Representatives. Stacey mixes elements of autobiography with real-world counsel for people of color in Minority Leader, and delivers hard-won lessons for navigating situations that were previously the domain of white males alone.

Stacey invites listeners to both capitalize on their specialness and acknowledge their own underlying sentiments of inadequacy and real worries. While networking is beneficial, so are carefully selected mentors, mindful self-advocacy, and, most importantly, identifications of one's own actual interests.
