New Book Discusses the Big Elephant in the Room That is Race in America
SEATTLE: Our handling of race issues in America has a long way to go. It's time for us to find new ways to work together. Author and Diversity Advocate, Seconde Nimenya announced today the release of Unlocking Diversity: How to Create Inclusive Cultures in a World of Differences, a timely and badly needed new book— especially in the wake of the protests that have rocked the world following George Floyd's death at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25, 2020.
Nimenya's Unlocking Diversity offers fresh perspectives to organizational leaders for how to create inclusive cultures in the workplace and communities where they live, work, and play.
Seconde Nimenya calls on those in leadership positions to remember that inclusion is not about taking away someone else's privilege, but rather, inviting more of "them" to become part of "us." "There are no strangers in this life, only other people living their own human experiences."
— Author Seconde Nimenya
