Racism is real. We all know it; if we haven’t experienced it personally, we’ve seen the reporting and heard the testimonials that have exposed racism in every institution in this country. Yet your boss, somehow, is still trying to gaslight you into thinking you don’t have a race problem, you have a “pipeline problem” or a “culture fit” issue. You are beyond fed up. So how do you push your boss and your entire workplace to embrace real antiracist action, going beyond #BLM posts on the corporate Instagram? With sardonic wit and indispensable wisdom, this book equips you to have frank and effective conversations with more powerful leaders, defuse racist actions and language as you see them, and leverage power dynamics to get results while avoiding backlash. Get ready to effectively stand up, speak out, and have these essential conversations. There’s no more time to waste.
