If you are anything like me, you were probably struck with the authenticity of the characters that Allison introduced us to, and the reality of the conversations that people are either having or trying to find ways to have! Some of the characters might have reminded you of people you know and work with, even people from your own family. You may even have seen some of yourself in one or more of the characters. And yet, we do not always put our thoughts and feelings about race on the table to talk about, particularly in mixed racial groups in which the conversations are most needed.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51384546984209,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51384548196625,"sku":"NIN9781642259698","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52633802735889,"sku":"NLS9781642259698","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53579506417937,"sku":"CIN1642259691VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1642259691.jpg?v=1750830759"},{"product_id":"someday-is-today-book-allison-manswell-9781642259674","title":"Someday is Today","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA critical follow-up to \u003cem\u003eListen In: Crucial Conversations on Race in the Workplace\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSomeday Is Today\u003c\/em\u003e, the second in Manswell’s collection, you’ll broaden your knowledge on racial inequalities in the workplace and gain the tools to become a better leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sequel goes beyond surface level conversations about inequalities and promotes the idea that racism needs to be \u003cem\u003eunderstood\u003c\/em\u003e before it can be addressed.
