This title is so on point. I have said it too many times in my career. Seriously, did that just happen?!
The authors have laid out the rock solid foundation of work we all need to do to move: Beyond "Diversity" to Creating Sustainable and Inclusive Organizations. It is a step-by-step guide surrounded by every reason why you might still need to do this work.
📖 This is a handbook for:
“How do I identify and handle diversity landmines at work?”
“What can I do when I’ve made a mistake?”
Improving cultural awareness and become more equitable in work and personal relationships
✏ A few more takeaways:
Embrace new terms and concepts. Intentional language innovation can drive social change!
Identity Related Aggression or IRA is a more accurate term than microaggression to describe how members of rising identities experience being in a world that is hostile or biased towards.
Oppressive listening can be intentionally replaced with Empowered Listening. If you aren't scheduling Listening Tours for organizations you lead, you may want to consider it.
Practice making an Empowering Apology.
If you hold a rising identity, your very existence is an act of resistance.
