Quite the Contrary

In "Quite the Contrary," Yvonne Durant shares her journey as one of the few Black women in advertising during the ‘70s and ‘80s, navigating a challenging landscape at a global ad agency in Milan. Amidst her ambitious career, a chance encounter with jazz legend Miles Davis during a Mother's Day dinner with her twin sister transforms her life in unexpected ways. This engaging memoir provides a unique perspective on a determined woman’s quest for success and self-definition in both her professional and personal life, reminiscent of classic figures like Mary Tyler Moore.
