The Token Common Sense Ideas For Increasing Diversity In Your Organization 1st Edition Summary: Meet the new Black friend you never hadAs a Black organizer, community, business, and organization leaders often ask: "How do I get diversity in my group?" The thing is, the work is real, but it's a minefield out there. And even progressive leaders can still, perhaps unknowingly, be racist and uphold oppressive systems.In The Token, your new token Black friend, Crystal Byrd Farmer, acts as the bridge between majority white organizations that are dedicated to social justice and "diverse" people in community they want to recruit, across identities of race, LGBTQ, education, socioeconomic status, and disability.With a blunt style that pulls no punches, Crystal tells you how it is, calling you out on tokenism, while extending a hand to help your organization make real transformative change toward diversity and inclusion. Coverage includes:What marginalized people experience and what they need to feel safe and comfortable in order to succeedDoing "The Work" – how to have deep conversations with your membership about the reality of bias, privilege, and microaggressionsPractical exercises and discussion questionsHow to choose appropriate meeting locations and establish ground rules, when to bring in outside help, and how to recruit support within your organizationStrategies on how to talk to friends who are resistant to progressive ideas.This no-nonsense, provocative, humorous, and accessible guide is for all well-meaning people leading progressive organizations who acknowledge the need for diversity but don't know where to start.AWARDSSILVER | 2021 Living Now Book Awards | Social Activism / Charity
