“A guide for the sister who longs to be free, who longs for her daughters, her mother, her aunts, her play cousins, her classmates who are Black women to also be free—to be free together. Grab this book and your best friends and work through it together. Then share it with younger women and older women. Freedom is for every age, and we come to it in different ways. Tamara has done the impossible—she has given us a guide to freedom no matter who we are or where we are in life.” —Suzanne Elise Walsh, President, Bennett College “This is a potent and impactful book! Tamara Winfrey Harris offers a brilliant exploration of self-liberation, tapping into ancient wisdom that underscores a profound truth: regardless of external influences or societal conditioning, we are already whole and complete. This work serves as a road map, extending a beautiful invitation to all Black women to examine, unlearn, and rediscover the undeniable truth and beauty of who we really are.” —Nikki Myers, founder of Y12SR: The Yoga of 12-Step Recovery “This is a book Black women need now more than ever. In a time when the common narrative is that endless opportunities are available to all, Black women still live under the shadow of age-old stories and stereotypes that can make us feel limited. Winfrey Harris reminds us that we can take off our capes and our crowns—that we are not required to be perfect or to save any soul but our own. With both practical reminders (practice breath work, write in a journal) and words of inspiration, this book promises to guide us to ‘the freedom to discover and live out your truths.’” —Tamara Jeffries, educator, editorial consultant, and former Senior Editor, Yoga Journal “A Black Woman’s Guide to Getting Free is a road map to Black femme liberation, drawn from Tamara Winfrey Harris’s frank feminist and anti-racist analysis and grounded in the real stories and experiences of Black women. It is a love letter, from writer to reader, that demands we love our authentic selves first and fiercely until the power of that love extends to our mothers, sisters, and daughters. This, the author says, is how we get free together. I believe her.” —Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies #books #blackwomen Tamara Winfrey-Harris, CSSGB

✨ Just a friendly reminder that unconscious bias isn't limited to skin color. ✨ It's easy to tell ourselves "I'm not racist so I don't need to worry about unconscious bias", but unconscious bias extends beyond race, encompassing gender, age, religion, socioeconomic status, and more. It influences our perceptions of ability, credibility, and likability based on accents, names, or appearances. These biases affect decisions in education, employment, healthcare, and social interactions, often without our awareness. Recognizing and addressing these multifaceted biases is crucial for creating a more equitable society. NEW THIS MONTH: Thinking at the Speed of Bias by Sara Taylor. A practical guide to tackling unconscious bias in a polarized world. Learn to recognize your unconscious bias and create positive change. Respected DEI expert Sara Taylor presents a down-to-earth guide on how to tackle unconscious biases and foster true equity in our rapidly changing world. Through relatable examples and practical strategies, readers learn to deliberately slow down their thought processes and become aware of their filters in various situations. Taylor encourages readers to question their own assumptions by asking, “Do I know that what I’m thinking is actually true?” and “Why might I be reacting this way?” The book demonstrates the importance of a clear set of competencies, skills, and strategies for addressing unconscious bias. By developing a culturally competent mindset and using a shared, holistic language to discuss these issues, readers gain the tools to understand, discuss, and implement change both at home and in the workplace. This approach avoids blame or shame, making it accessible and empowering for everyone. The book’s insights extend beyond individuals; it demonstrates how organizations can scale up cultural competence to transform their structures and systems. With a strong sense of hope, readers are empowered to make a difference, creating a more just and equitable world for all. #unconsciousbias #implicitbias #books Weaving Influence deepSEE Consulting

What would it be like to work together again in creative and generous ways? What would it be like to be curious about who you’re with rather than judging or fearing them? What would it be like to engage together in exploring possibilities rather than withdrawing in conflict or disagreement? What would it be like to be working well together? From 50 years working with leaders globally, I state with full confidence that leadership has never been more difficult. And it’s not our fault. We’ve been good and caring leaders, we’ve led people in empowering, engaging ways to create meaningful, productive work. But now we face external conditions far beyond our control to change, dynamics intensifying at shocking speed. The perfect storm is here, created by the coalescence of climate and human-created catastrophes. As leaders dedicated to serving the causes and people we treasure, confronted by this unrelenting tsunami, what are we to do? I state my answer to this also with full confidence: We need to restore sanity by awakening the human spirit. We can achieve this only if we undertake the most challenging and meaningful work of our leader lives: Creating Islands of Sanity. An Island of Sanity is a gift of possibility and refuge created by people’s commitment to form healthy community to do meaningful work. It requires sane leaders with unshakable faith in people’s innate generosity, creativity, and kindness. It sets itself apart as an island to protect itself from the life-destroying dynamics, policies, and behaviors that oppress and deny the human spirit. No matter what is happening around us, we can discover practices that enliven our human spirits and produce meaningful contributions for this time. #books #podcasts Sounds True

Watch Justin Jones-Fosu, author of I Respectfully Disagree, on News Channel 5 while he unpacks how to have difficult conversations while still treating each other like humans. https://buff.ly/4bSp3Og 📚 I Respectfully Disagree by Justin Jones Fosu Start building bridges instead of barriers! This essential guide offers a simple 5-part framework that will help you have honest and enlightening conversations despite deep and fundamental disagreements. Divisions are on the rise around the world, and 2024 may well be a peak year. We’re losing the ability to disagree without dehumanizing. There is a deep need for this practical and accessible guide to having challenging conversations in any situation, from the workplace to the classroom to the dinner table. It’s not about saying the right words at the right time but something vastly deeper. In this book, you’ll discover the 5 pillars of respectfully disagreeing: ▶️ Challenge your perspective ▶️ Be the student ▶️ Cultivate your curiosity ▶️ Seek the gray ▶️ Agree to respect But this is not a weighty tome. Each chapter features a cartoon, and Justin Jones-Fosu tackles this serious subject with a playful and compassionate tone. For example, he writes “I have become more and more intentional in my desire to respectfully disagree with others (except those who think putting ketchup on eggs is wrong…there is no hope for respect there).” With a wide range of examples and exercises throughout, this is a timely and reader-friendly handbook to disagreeing with someone’s ideology while passionately pursuing their humanity. #books #politics #communication
