Diversity programs are prevalent, yet progress is slow due to persistent homophobia, transphobia, racism, and misogyny. Many inclusion programs create negativity towards the diversity agenda rather than achieving measurable and lasting change. Why is change happening more slowly? What are we doing wrong? Or, better yet, what should we be doing differently to drive different outcomes? While most of us are curious about diversity and some consider ourselves allies, few of us are skilled in inclusion. In the absence of knowledge, we tend to double down on being nice, which may not be enough. This book is for anyone who wants to dive into the complex task of supporting diversity and increasing inclusion. It provides insight and practical know-how to navigate the polarized and divisive issues we face and move beyond just talking about diversity to playing an active role in shaping an inclusive future.
