It's About Damn Time
As much as we wish it weren’t so, we still live in a world where being underrepresented often means being underestimated. It's About Damn Time is an empowering guide from a black, gay woman who broke into the boys’ club of Silicon Valley. Here, Arlan Hamilton shares the hard-won wisdom she’s picked up on her remarkable journey from a food-stamp recipient to venture capitalist. Along the way, she inspires us all to defy other people’s expectations and to become the role models we’ve been looking for.
Praise for It's About Damn Time
“Reading Arlan Hamilton’s It’s About Damn Time is like having a conversation with that frank, bawdy friend who somehow always manages to make you laugh, get a little emo, and, ultimately, think about the world in a different way. The book is warm, witty, and unflinching in its critique of the fake meritocracy that permeates Silicon Valley.”
