Description
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.
Advance Praise
"Few books tackle the challenges of our times in ways that are real, compassionate, and impactful. Someday is Today does exactly that and thoughtfully brings the perspectives and voices that are most silenced from the dominant narrative to the forefront in a way that is engaging and full of depth. Readers gain rich insight into the complex issues that lie ahead and also receive practical solutions for having conversations at the individual and organizational levels. This book is a must-read for leaders looking for the truth of how to make change within themselves and within their teams and organizations."
Dr. Erika Powell
"Allison Manswell has written an important book to remind us that the strides we make in DE&I call for urgency, and we cannot conveniently fall back on stating that it is a 'journey.' In Someday is Today, she is unflinching about the truth of where we are, the barriers still faced, and the bigotry and power struggles that continue. Manswell uses a story and dialogue format very effectively and the analogies and examples her characters use make the issues very relatable; and the ideas and checklists they provide are actionable.
Someday is Today has important nuggets for any business leaders who wants to succeed and make an impact in today's world and importantly, to build for the future."
