Inclusion on Purpose is a good addition to the diversity， equity， and inclusion literature out there， if you're looking for something specific to the corporate world。 This book adds to the discourse by being intentional about centering the experiences of women of color， and as a response to the "lean in" attitude that has been proposed as a tool for acquiring leadership/management positions。 The beginning had be invested from the get-go， with a forward by Ijeoma Oluo （who has written a lot of an Inclusion on Purpose is a good addition to the diversity， equity， and inclusion literature out there， if you're looking for something specific to the corporate world。 This book adds to the discourse by being intentional about centering the experiences of women of color， and as a response to the "lean in" attitude that has been proposed as a tool for acquiring leadership/management positions。 The beginning had be invested from the get-go， with a forward by Ijeoma Oluo （who has written a lot of antiracist nonfiction that I have selected for my work book club including So You Want to Talk about Race and Mediocre）。 It also goes hard into the problems posed by HR teams， which exist for the purpose of protection the company， not the workers （hey， that's what unions are for！）。 This book dives into how we can be intentional about inclusion -- and it specifically calls on people with privilege in the workplace （white men/women） to use that power to fix the systemic and institutional racism that exists in our sphere。 This is the first book I've read to tackle many of these issues in the shifting workplace dynamics of COVID-19， which has seen more women leave the workforce than ever before （disproportionally Black women） due to lack of access to childcare and needed flexibility。 There are some great resources in here， including the "BRIDGE Framework" which is a good reminder for how to be open and willing to grow from mistakes。 There are great questions at the end of the chapters that are good for internal reflection but also for discussion in a group that you work with。Tulshyan really brings together a lot of topics that are ripe for training and development， from interrupting bias and exclusion when you see it to creating spaces that provide psychological safety for women of color。 I know that we need a balance of books that help us contribute to a better working environment where everyone can be successful （outcomes can not be tied to identity）， but I was also a little disappointed that this book didn't address the way in which corporate culture is probably not the answer to a more equitable work environment in general。 Part of the drive of this book is that when we change who gets to hold and have power， we change those systems， which it's why these practices go beyond individual influence into changing policy and culture as well。 COVID-19 has changed the way we think about work and in the midst of an unprecedented labor movement， I would love a companion piece on the power of organizing and sharing power in different ways。 Thanks to NetGalley for an early review copy， all opinions are my own， Definitely pick this one up to grow your understanding of supporting DEI within your workplace and put those skills to practice。 。。。more

I found this to be a quick read。 It contains a lot of great information but it doesn't drag and it isn't dull。The focus is primarily on including women of color into all places of an organization。I appreciated most the key reflections at the end of each chapter that require self reflection and develop action steps that be be put into place immediately or very soon in the day to day。 I found this to be a quick read。 It contains a lot of great information but it doesn't drag and it isn't dull。The focus is primarily on including women of color into all places of an organization。I appreciated most the key reflections at the end of each chapter that require self reflection and develop action steps that be be put into place immediately or very soon in the day to day。 。。。more
