Especially if you're a successful minority businessman in America. But I'm no ordinary businessman, this was no ordinary speech, and I've had no ordinary life. JeVon McCormick shouldn't have succeeded. He was born the mixed-race son of a negligent, drug-dealing pimp father and a struggling, single mother. He was raised in the slums of Dayton, Ohio, suffered incredible abuse and racism, and had multiple stints in the juvenile justice system. He barely graduated high school and has no college degree. But succeed he did. Starting by scrubbing toilets, JeVon hustled and worked his way into better opportunities, eventually finding incredible success in the mortgage industry. He was on top of the world. And then it all fell apart. He lost his job, and his money. But instead of stopping him, this setback became the springboard for him to reach even bigger heights--eventually growing and becoming President of a multimillion-dollar software company, and then CEO of a multimillion-dollar book-publishing start-up. Gripping, heartbreaking, enlightening, and ultimately uplifting, I Got There proves that no obstacle is too difficult to conquer--and that the game can be won by anyone, from anywhere. …

NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB's November 2023 Must Read Books * LIBRARY JOURNAL EDITOR PICK * "A groundbreaking book, both bold in its premise and precise in its exploration of systemic racism in the workplace. This could not be a more urgent and necessary blueprint for progress."--Bakari Sellers, New York Times bestselling author of My Vanishing Country "Provides a trailblazing antiracist framework for us all."--Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist "This vital and accessible study is a must-read for anyone concerned with workplace equality."--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) A leading sociologist reveals why racial inequality persists in the workplace despite today's multi-billion-dollar diversity industry--and provides actionable solutions for creating a truly equitable, multiracial future. Labor and race have shared a complex, interconnected history in America. For decades, key aspects of work--from getting a job to workplace norms to advancement and mobility--ignored and failed Black people. While explicit discrimination no longer occurs, and organizations make internal and public pledges to honor and achieve "diversity," inequities persist through what Adia Harvey Wingfield calls the "gray areas:" the relationships, networks, and cultural dynamics integral to companies that are now more important than ever. The reality is that Black employees are less likely to be hired, stall out at middle levels, and rarely progress to senior leadership positions. Wingfield has spent a decade examining inequality in the workplace, interviewing over two hundred Black subjects across professions about their work lives. In Gray Areas, she introduces seven of them: Alex, a worker in the gig economy Max, an emergency medicine doctor; Constance, a chemical engineer; Brian, a filmmaker; Amalia, a journalist; Darren, a corporate vice president; and Kevin, who works for a nonprofit. In this accessible and important antiracist work, Wingfield chronicles their experiences and blends them with history and surprising data that starkly show how old models of work are outdated and detrimental. She demonstrates the scope and breadth of gray areas and offers key insights and suggestions for how they can be fixed, including shifting hiring practices to include Black workers; rethinking organizational cultures to centralize Black employees' experience; and establishing pathways that move capable Black candidates into leadership roles. These reforms would create workplaces that reflect America's increasingly diverse population--professionals whose needs organizations today are ill-prepared to meet. It's time to prepare for a truly equitable, multiracial future and move our culture forward. To do so, we must address the gray areas in our workspaces today. This definitive work shows us how. Gray Areas includes 15 black-and-white images and a photo insert.…

Anika is excited to see someone new move in next door, but something looks very different about her new neighbor She has a pointy hat, a black cat and is up to something suspicious. Oh no Witches don't exist Do they? Is everything as it seems? This rhyming picture book playfully introduces why we should not judge people by their appearance. Exploring how stereotypes and superficial judgements are often misleading. Instead of dealing with racism, diversity and equality head on, it provides a great way to discuss and explore these concepts with children. Girls can be anything they want to be. To help overcome gender stereotyping, the story has female lead characters of color. The gender stereotypes that children are exposed to in their early years has a strong influence on what they choose to do. Which is why it's important for boys and girls to be exposed to women in non-gender stereotype roles. It's essential to creating an environment where girls feel comfortable choosing whatever career they want, and where boys actively support girls. Diversity is normal The best way to stop unconscious bias is to never let it set in. People of color should be seen equally as leaders, colleagues and friends. Showing children that diverse candidates perform all sorts of roles is essential to changing the realities of today. It doesn't matter what color your hands are, they can do any job you want them to. Heroines of their story Girls aren't sidekicks. That isn't well enough represented in children's books. Having female lead characters, both good & bad, is important to teaching children that there's their gender makes no difference. It's very hard to feel equal when majority of the lead & speaking roles are males. Adhi, Alvin (illustratore).…

A Vietnamese Refugee, a Viral Video, and the United Airlines Scandal That Started It All?His refusal to give up his seat on a United Airlines flight, and the ensuing assault he suffered, is emblematic of how far we, the people, still have to travel to create a world with liberty and justice for all.? ?Marlena Fiol, PhD, globally recognized scholar and speaker and author of Nothing Bad Between Us  Dr. David Dao was dragged off United Express Flight 3411 on April 9, 2017 after refusing to give up his seat. In the tradition of contemporary immigrant stories comes a personal narrative of the many small but significant acts of racial discrimination faced on the way to the American Dream.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A bold, thought-provoking pathway to the national solidarity that could, finally, address the ills of racism in America "Racism is an existential threat to America," Theodore R. Johnson declares at the start of his profound and exhilarating book. It is a refutation of the American Promise enshrined in our Constitution that all men and women are inherently equal. And yet racism continues to corrode our society. If we cannot overcome it, Johnson argues, while the United States will remain as a geopolitical entity, the promise that made America unique on Earth will have died. When the Stars Begin to Fall makes a compelling, ambitious case for a pathway to the national solidarity necessary to mitigate racism. Weaving memories of his own and his family's multi-generational experiences with racism, alongside strands of history, into his elegant narrative, Johnson posits that a blueprint for national solidarity can be found in the exceptional citizenship long practiced in Black America. Understanding that racism is a structural crime of the state, he argues that overcoming it requires us to recognize that a color-conscious society--not a color-blind one--is the true fulfillment of the American Promise. Fueled by Johnson's ultimate faith in the American project, grounded in his family's longstanding optimism and his own military service, When the Stars Begin to Fall is an urgent call to undertake the process of overcoming what has long seemed intractable.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This book is a memoir of the author's struggle to survive racism and poverty during the Civil Rights Era. Her mother called her Francie Mae. She and her family lived in a world that was confusing, painful and difficult to understand. She lived her entire childhood in poverty and shares her journey of survival. She was a curious child and sought answers to her many questions about inequality. She took a journey through a land showing the dark side while searching for her piece of the American dream. She learned to rely on her faith to help her navigate the rough roads ahead. She became socially conscious and advocated for justice. She prevailed She was inspired to write the book when her young granddaughter began asking questions about race. She and many other children are living in a similar world now. Racism and poverty exists and children should know why they exist. Racism is a learned behavior and we owe it to our children to teach them it is wrong. Racism may lead to poverty. These are difficult topics to discuss, yet we owe it to our children to engage in age appropriate conversations. As they struggle to understand the world around them they may have unanswered questions. If not answered, children come to their own conclusions and their conclusions may not be correct. Parents shouldn't remain silent. Avoiding talking about race and poverty will not make it go away. Francie Mae's parents listened to her questions and provided answers in ways she could understand. Many ideologies were formed many years ago. The way people felt and thought became twisted together like a web. If not challenged, the web tangles more. It is time to join together and untangle the web. We owe it to our current and future generations.…

A deep dive into the institutional racism and prejudice in the sport of hockey that persists across all levels - and how it will impact the future of the sport While professional sports leagues claim to promote diversity and inclusivity, institutional racism remains apparent in all sports, but especially hockey. In Leveling the Ice, sportswriter Steven Sandor challenges the perception that hockey is open to everyone and the idea that the hockey establishment wants more inclusion and diversity. Featuring interviews with NHL players of color like Darnell Nurse, Matt Dumba, Nazeem Kadri, Zach Whitecloud, Ethan Bear, Jason Robertson, Sandor reveals their stories of exclusion to highlight the deeply ingrained racism in the sport. The players share insights into the racism they faced while they built their careers as well as the racism, they still face today from the hockey establishment From hockey's racist past to the ongoing reluctance of the hockey establishment to embrace grassroots diversity initiatives, Sandor delves into how members of communities of color (who only make up 5% of the NHL) are being driven away from the sport to more inclusive ones like soccer and basketball, despite the NHL's expansion to new markets and demographics with billion-dollar TV deals. Comprehensive and timely, Leveling the Ice grapples with how the institutional racism in hockey will directly affect the future of the sport.…
