HOW TO TALK TO YOUR BOSS ABOUT RACE

Y-Yonne Hutchinson

Speaking Up Without Getting Shut Down

An indispensable, practical toolkit for dismantling racism in the workplace without fear.

Reporting and personal testimonials have exposed racism in every institution. But knowing that racism exists isn't nearly enough. Social media posts about #BlackLivesMatter are nice, but how do you push leadership toward real antiracist action?

Diversity and inclusion strategist Y-Vonne Hutchinson helps tech giants, political leaders, and Fortune 500 companies speak more productively about racism and bias and turn talk into action. In this clear and accessible guide, Hutchinson equips employees with a framework to think about race at work, prepares them to have frank and effective conversations with more powerful leaders, helps them center marginalized perspectives, and explains how to leverage power dynamics to get results while navigating backlash and gaslighting.

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR BOSS ABOUT RACE is a crucial handbook to moving beyond fear to push for change. No matter how much formal power you have, you can create antiracist change at work.

Y-Vonne Hutchinson is the CEO and founder of The ReadySet, a diversity and inclusion training firm. Prior to launching The ReadySet, she worked as an international labor and human rights lawyer for nearly a decade. She has worked with foreign national governments, the US Department of State, and the United Nations. She lives in Oakland, California.

My first time sitting with Y-Vonne was a visceral experience. While doing equity work I had sat in front of so many well-intentioned who didn't have a theory or vision for how to do this work. Y-Vonne did. Y-Vonne does. I relish the thought of other people having that same experience as they sit down with her words and hard-fought insights. We need leaders like her spreading the good word and people like you incorporating it into your businesses and lives.
