      Starred review from September 15, 2021
      Harts argues that we need to understand that racism kills both people and careers, and that workplace injustices do incredible harm. She goes on to explain the labor involved with being the only Black woman in the office, facing microaggressions from colleagues and a lack of support from human resources. Women of color learn to adjust or acclimate themselves to these injustices, telling themselves not to "rock the boat." But they cannot keep avoiding the wounds of the past. In this vital guidebook for women of color in the workplace, Harts describes the state of racialized trauma--which, exacerbated by overlapping crises, worsened for the author in 2020--and offers validation and solutions where possible. Women of color need freedom at work--from stereotypes such as the Angry Black Woman, from past triggers, from current toxicity, and from unnecessary pain. Intended for the women who face the disproportionate amount of workplace discrimination 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.
