Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace: A Guide for Equity and Inclusion

"Your DEIJ efforts are stagnating because you continue to center whiteness. Creating a truly anti-racist organization requires learning how to identify and rectify the systemic, and often unconscious, centering of white culture and values in the workplace. Corporate America continues to struggle with racial equity in a post-George Floyd world. As the United States becomes more diverse and the public consciousness continues to shift, successful racial equity efforts in the workplace are needed now more than ever. Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace exposes the ways that white culture and expectations are centered in the modern American workplace and the fears within corporate spaces about talking candidly, openly, and honestly about whiteness, white supremacy, and anti-Blackness. Readers will discover: - A direct and straightforward analysis about what white-centering is - An evaluation of the different ways that whiteness is centered in the workplace, such as bereavement and holiday policies and dress codes - A guide on how to recognize and decenter whiteness within oneself and at work - Solutions for people to contribute individually and systemically to anti-oppression Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace provides a crucial guidebook with practical solutions for leaders, DEIJ practitioners, and anyone hoping to truly create an anti-racist workplace."

Ending Checkbox Diversity: Rewriting the Story of Performative Allyship in Corporate America

"DEI isn't just a box to check. After being in corporate America for nearly a decade as a triple minority who passes for a straight white woman, Dannie Lynn Fountain knows that corporations' modern plague is the story of its DEI duality. Time and time again, she has witnessed companies pretend to care about DEI for public relations fodder and then discriminate against employees or ignore their identities. Dannie's solution to this problem? Rage against the system by refusing to accept mediocre-at-best action. This story isn't just about how messed up corporate DEI currently is; it also takes a hard look at what is necessary to get diversity right in three parts: - The context of corporate DEI - Why the change in perspective - What's not working and how to change Ending Checkbox Diversity gives readers an understanding of exactly how corporate America is failing underrepresented identities and offers a plan for what to do next, with clear examples and metrics for evaluating DEI in their own careers and aligning themselves with companies that are actually doing the work."

Dear Black Girl: Letters From Your Sisters on Stepping Into Your Power

"'Dear Black Girl is the empowering, affirming love letter our girls need in order to thrive in a world that does not always protect, nurture, or celebrate us. This collection of Black women's voices... is a must-read, not only for Black girls, but for everyone who cares about Black girls, and for Black women whose inner-Black girl could use some healing.' -Tarana Burke, Founder of the 'Me Too' Movement 'Dear #DopeBlackGirl, You don't know me, but I know you. I know you because I am you! We are magic, light, and stars in the universe.' So begins a letter that Tamara Winfrey-Harris received as part of her Letters to Black Girls project, where she asked black women to write honest, open, and inspiring letters of support to young black girls aged thirteen to twenty-one. Her call went viral, resulting in a hundred letters from black women around the globe. In Dear Black Girl, Winfrey-Harris introduces and organizes a selection of these letters, modeling how black women can nurture future generations. Each chapter ends with a prompt encouraging girls to write a letter to themselves, teaching the art of self-love and self-nurturing. Winfrey-Harris's The Sisters Are Alright explores how black women must often fight and stumble their way into alrightness after adulthood. Dear Black Girl continues this work by delivering personal messages of alrightness for black women-to-be-and for the girl who still lives inside every black woman, who still needs reminding sometimes that she is alright."
