So much activity in the D&I space can be summarized as ‘diversity theater’: going through the motions to give the appearance of caring about diversity without making an actual impact. Cynthia Owyoung’s All Are Welcome is a valuable guide on how to drive change in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. This book will help you avoid the pitfalls of diversity theater so you can deliver tangible business results for your company and economic and social justice for society.
