Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing by Emily Lynn Paulson

dark informative tense medium-paced

2.75

Emily Lynn Paulson provides a unique perspective to the MLM story as someone who made it to the highest ranks of the business. The story moved quickly until she realized some of the major problems with "Rejuvinat," yet continued to make excuses for why she couldn't leave. I don't think she has fully reflected on the harm she caused to others by bringing them into the MLM and persuading them to stay even when they were losing money. Further, she lacks depth when it comes to discussing white supremacy in MLM culture. Beyond citing a few studies about racial demographics, she doesn't engage with how and why white supremacy goes hand-in-hand with direct selling companies. In conclusion, Emily's story, while interesting, does not provide the depth that the subtitle "Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy and Other Lies..." indicates.
