PRAISE FOR LEAD FROM THE OUTSIDE
(Previously published as MINORITY LEADER)

"Like Lean In for people who didn't start with any power." --Rebecca Traister, New York Magazine

"Abrams's own grit, coupled with her descriptions of much stumbling and self-doubt, will make Minority Leader touch you in a way few books by politicians can. In fact, the last one to manage it--biracial, the child of divorce, raised with little money by a single mother--became our 44th president." --The New York Times Book Review

"Stacey Abrams writes about her personal cocktail of grit and gumption." --Glamour

"Stacey didn't write Minority Leader simply to help people in the minority; she wrote it because she believes people in the minority can help us all." --Teen Vogue

"Stacey Abrams has everything you want in a candidate: a good legal mind, experience in governance, and a deep knowledge of poverty and hard work. If you read Minority Leader, you will discover she also has the superpowers of inspiring trust and knowing how to organize. You will have her as a friend, and you will want her as a governor." --Gloria Steinem

"Minority Leader is a special book with a special mission: to push ALL people to know that their greatness and worthiness is a birthright. Stacey's story is not just uplifting, but instructional as well. I am part of a long line of people who have admired Stacey for a long time. Read this book, and you will understand why." --Wes Moore, bestselling author of The Other Wes Moore and The Work, CEO, Robin Hood

"Stacey Abrams displays competence, confidence, and compassion in her assessment of the attributes and actions needed to deliver impact in today's complicated world. Her commentary is as real as her commitment is remarkable. Minority Leader is both a motivational and a mechanical manual, offering an intense focus on opportunities and an unyielding path to mitigate obstacles. I enthusiastically commend this book as a resource for those who want to grow personally and professionally, as well as for those who seek to help guide that same growth." --Lisa M. Borders, WNBA President

"Stacey understands what it is like to try and balance the everyday obligations of work and family, and Minority Leader offers a practical guide to pursuing meaningful work while acknowledging the myths of 'juggling it all.' All kinds of people face these challenges, but it can be more acute for women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and others with 'outsider' status. This book is for anyone who has faced challenges while pursuing their passion, and helps people who are left out of traditional ladders to success build one for themselves." --Sherilyn Wright, Assistant to the International President, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers

"Here, [Stacey Abrams] shows readers from any marginalized population how to become their own advocates, proactively using their otherness while recognizing their fears. Not just local appeal; there are audiences out there that could really, really benefit from this book." --Library Journal

"Although there are many books on networking and achieving political and entrepreneurial success, Abrams' is geared toward helping those who are on the fringes, especially African American women, find pathways to success and power...this is an excellent guide that addresses setbacks and pitfalls and identifies strategies to overcome them." --Booklist
