Allies stand by. Accomplices take action. Which are you?
Embrace action, challenge white supremacy, and navigate your workplace and beyond with a profound understanding of how racism shapes the lives of everyone around you. In our day to day lives, it’s not enough to simply stand by and be an ally. Whether you’re a leader inside of your organization or outside, it’s time to take action and become an accomplice.
Seena Hodges, Founder and CEO of The Woke Coach®, has spent her career advocating for historically underrepresented communities and training individuals and leaders to use their positions of privilege to create lasting change. In her new book she shares her DEIA strategies and teaches readers to see unconscious bias, engage in difficult conversations, and lead as true accomplices in the fight against inequity.
Seena’s inviting and even joyful antiracist programming doesn’t avoid hard truths, and will guide readers to becoming fierce antiracists. From Ally to Accomplice is the roadmap you need to challenge norms and create inclusive environments wherever you show up.
