The nation has undergone a significant transformation, with the clamor for racial equity growing louder and more insistent, finally receiving the attention it deserves. However, companies nationwide continue to lag significantly in terms of workplace equity. For decades, we have heard various iterations of the same message on how to promote diversity and inclusion, yet progress has been slow. If we truly desire for equity to matter both within and outside the workplace, and if we want to be genuine allies in driving change, then a fresh approach is necessary. We must abandon the pursuit of trends and take the lead in bringing about change.

In her book, Authentic Diversity, culture change expert and diversity speaker Michelle Silverthorn offers a comprehensive guide on how to transform diversity and inclusion from mere lip service into the very core of leadership. Through the lens of a Black woman's experiences in the workplace, leaders gain insights into the outdated rules of diversity that continue to hinder her and millions of others, as well as the new rules that are essential for achieving success for all. Michelle, a millennial, immigrant, and Black woman in America, shares her personal journey and practical strategies for creating an equitable, ally-driven, and inclusive space. She demonstrates how leaders can lead a transformation within their organizations, fostering a culture that values justice and equity.

By embracing these new rules and leading by example, Michelle believes that we can build a new organization and nation that is centered on justice and equality for all. Authentic Diversity provides a roadmap for leaders who are committed to making a lasting impact and creating a more inclusive and equitable world.
