by Jessica Nordell, Book 62 of 2021
This book is packed full of insightful examples of how bias seeps into day to day encounters with profound impacts ranging from the expected (police violence) to more subtle (gendering in preschool classrooms). There are a lot of great actionable takeaways for organizations and leaders who want to improve the environments they influence. For my local friends, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Nordell was raised in Green Bay and many of her examples resonated personally.
Bonus: The audiobook is read by the author and I could not help but laugh at the thinly veiled disdain she apparently still holds for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ALC.
Recommended for: those interested in creating a more just society.
