An engaging memoir by Ursula Burns, former Chief Executive Officer of the Xerox Corporation. Burns writes movingly about her journey from growing up in tenement housing on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to the highest echelon of the corporate world. Her champion was her single Panamanian mother, Racquel Olga Burns, who set no limits on what her children could achieve. Ursula studied engineering at Brooklyn Poly Tech and then at Columbia graduate school, sponsored by Xerox, where she had been a summer intern. Burns’ 35-year career at Xerox was all about fixing things. She worked closely with President Barack Obama as Chair of his Export council, traveled with him on an official trade mission to Cuba and became one of his greatest admirers. This memoir takes the reader inside the c-suites of corporate America, and reveals it through the lens of a Black woman who put humanity over greed and justice over lining the pockets of the few.
