Loved this book. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in a career in tech. Author Tedrick offers advice, anecdotes, and practical advice for women of color, as well as how workplaces can remove obstacles and create better environments–as well as more profitable, successful organizations to boot. Excellent read.

I purchased this book to rehab my career in Technology. I have not finished reading the entire book but it has lots of great info inside. I like how Susanne breaks down different type of computer careers and industries. I have been into computers my whole life but when I started out, it was nothing more than a black screen where I type in commands and use those floppy disks. No Internet, WiFi, cloud or anything of that sort. and when I went to college, the only options I had was computer programming in which I struggled. I wish all this techie stuff was around when I was in college. Now technology is everywhere to where a person can’t live without it. I had to learn to get online to Webex, Teams and Zoom meetings for interviews. Every job where I dealt with technology, I learned through hands on and I am still learning new things. Thanks for writing such an excellent read. I will be using this as a go to tool.

I love this book. I teach computer science and this will now be required reading by all of my students. To me it is a love story written to a new generation of women in IT and shows a path to walk.

While this is obviously a great resource for women of color in tech, it’s also a great resource for anyone entering the tech fields. Includes an impressive list of links to additional resources on finding jobs, mentoring, and more. Very smart and well written. I highly recommend, especially for people trying to make a move into tech companies.

This book is definitely a keeper and a desk side reference for women of color looking to stay relevant and get ahead in their tech career. Susanne is very insightful and provides a comprehensive as well as realistic framework for what it really takes to navigate and thrive in the industry. My daughter just landed her first tech job and I’m sharing my copy with her – the advice will serve her well.
