Someday Is Today: Achieving Racial Equity in the Workplace

A critical follow-up to Listen In: Crucial Conversations on Race in the Workplace

In Someday Is Today, the second in Manswell’s collection, you’ll broaden your knowledge on racial inequalities in the workplace and gain the tools to become a better leader.

This sequel goes beyond surface level conversations about inequalities and promotes the idea that racism needs to be understood before it can be addressed. Manswell gets to the core of the issue and launches off from there, taking the reader on a journey of often unexplored issues, tapping into a closer look at the emotional impact of discrimination.

You’ll learn how to untangle your own misconceptions that lead to generational differences as you have a front row seat to Roshunda and Maya’s discussion about the topic. LaToya and Shane hit a crossroad in their relationship and discover that their next steps need to include considerations about diversity. Jim comes face to face with his white peers in the workplace who verbalize what many have suspected for years. This leads him to the conclusion that organizations need a new approach to holding leaders accountable for the success or failure of racial equity in their organizations.

Understanding of others’ perspective, acceptance of change, and new approaches for the future are the core necessities in working through the inequalities that are present in everyday life. From the living room to the conference room, our differences are a part of how we show up at work and always will be, which is why Manswell’s book is so critical in today’s world.
