Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Culture Hardcover - 2020

From the rear cover

If done right, inclusion positively impacts every part of society. Creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable culture isn't easy--it requires courage, dedication, and a lot of hard work. Real inclusion requires you to take responsibility, and sometimes have uncomfortable conversations or make hard choices. Succeeding at allyship means you doing what you can to contribute to and create cultures where fairness, respect, and mindfulness are the rule, rather than the exception. This is the key to building environments where everyone feels welcome, valued, and safe.

The goal of Allies and Advocates is to move organizations and society as a whole beyond mandated diversity initiatives and achieve long-term and impactful change. You will understand how to integrate innovative ideas and traditional approaches to build solutions that work best for you.

Everyone has some degree of privilege. Rooted in author Amber Cabral's years of experience in helping organizations ignite behavior shifts to create inclusive cultures, this practical, real-world guide shows you how speaking up and using your privilege is allyship and advocate behavior at its very best.

You may not always see the many ways you have privilege; you have likely encountered challenges or bad experiences in your life. This is perfectly normal. Sometimes privilege doesn't come from something you did, but rather from something about your identity that you had no control over. Recognizing your own privilege empowers you to create visibility and opportunities for those who are dealing with the impacts of systemic oppression.

Addressing equity and inclusion is something that many people aren't brave enough to talk about, yet bravery is essential to learning how to be better allies and advocates. If you are looking forward to building a culture of inclusivity and want to learn how to use your privilege to be a better ally, Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Culture is a must-have.
