It is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining to continue to experience inequities and even atrocities, day after day, when justice is a God-given and legislated right. And it is exhausting to have to constantly explain this to white people, even--and especially--well-meaning white people, who fall prey to white fragility and too often are unwittingly complicit in upholding the very systems they say they want dismantled.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book, designed to illuminate the myriad dire consequences of \"living while Black,\" came at the urging of Winters's Black friends and colleagues. Winters describes how in every aspect of life--from economics to education, work, criminal justice, and, very importantly, health outcomes--for the most part, the trajectory for Black people is not improving. It is paradoxical that, with all the attention focused over the last fifty years on social justice and diversity and inclusion, little progress has been made in actualizing the vision of an equitable society.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Black people are quite literally sick and tired of being sick and tired.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"Winters's work as a diversity and inclusion leader informs this exploration of the toll that systemic racism takes on Black people every single day, and the need for activism that leads to meaningful, radical change.\" --\u003ci\u003ePopsugar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Winters hopes to inspire aspiring allies with better insight into the Black experience.\" --\u003ci\u003eBook Riot\u003c\/i\u003e, \"12 Essential Books About Black History and Identity\"\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49522708381969,"sku":"CIN1523091304G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49611084366097,"sku":"GOR012013312","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740695699729,"sku":"NGR9781523091300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50469278548241,"sku":"CIN1523091304VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50918537920785,"sku":"GOR011030421","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033401327889,"sku":"NIN9781523091300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1523091304.jpg?v=1751340444"},{"product_id":"inclusive-conversations-book-mary-frances-winters-9781523088805","title":"Inclusive Conversations","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"What is impressive is not only how Winters builds a case for the urgency and need for bold, inclusive conversations but that she also gives specific strategies and competencies to turn her theory into practice.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Dr. Sheila Robinson, publisher and CEO, Diversity Woman Media\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Effective dialogue across different dimensions of diversity, such as race, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation, fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion, which in turn leads to greater productivity, performance, and innovation.
