Field notes
What if the problem isn't the people, but the systems surrounding them?
Celeste Warren challenges leaders to look beyond good intentions and examine how everyday policies, practices, systems, and decisions shape people's access to opportunity. It is a practical invitation to think differently about what fairness really requires and the role leaders play in creating it.
Everyone's Role in Helping All Feel Accepted, Engaged, and Valued
Many individuals feel they don't have a role to play in driving diversity and inclusion, but everyone has a role to play to make real change. The book guides individuals on how they can leverage their abilities to create the culture they want to see.

Reader questions
For coworkers at any level, How to Be a Diversity and Inclusion Ambassador is the better gift, because it starts from the idea that everyone has a role. Kenneth Frazier, former Executive Chairman of Merck & Co., Inc., called it "the guide for creating cultures where everyone feels welcomed and empowered." For a manager or executive, The Truth About Equity fits better because it focuses on the decisions leaders control.
