It provides an overview of key issues and current topics relevant to raising multiracial children and offers strategies and developmentally appropriate milestones from infancy through adulthood. The book ends with resources and references for further learning and exploration.

This authoritative guide on building employee resource groups (ERGs) empowers underrepresented employees and enhances DEI efforts within organizations and society. Originating from affirmative action policies, ERGs have become vital for employee engagement and business objectives. They also play a crucial role in fostering inclusivity and justice while aligning with company interests. The book emphasizes effective management of ERGs and their potential as sources of innovation, belonging, feedback, and guidance on challenging issues and new initiatives. Notably, Black and female ERG leaders identified DEI issues at Uber and Google, while Asian ERGs assisted Coca-Cola in implementing supply chain changes. Participation in ERGs can also facilitate career advancement for professionals of color and enhance diverse leadership representation. The author provides essential tools for establishing ERGs and outlines the 5 Ps—purpose, people, processes, planning, and priorities—necessary for their success. Unlike other ERG manuals, this book prioritizes a people-centric and socially conscious approach rather than a purely technical one. It serves as a compelling call to action, advocating for more effective ERGs to genuinely advance the DEI goals we aim to achieve.
