This is pretty comprehensive overview of how much things suck right now as far as all the -isms and the hate being spread. I appreciated how the author shared many of her own stories and her suggestions for how to do more. ( ) This book contains the 2021 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion education to rule all others. Kim sources the need for DEI in the humanist ideal of doing minimal harm, and where possible, making others' lives easier. Though rather unsurprisingly she steers far from the religious overtones of that motivation, she simultaneously criticizes the idea that diversity is valuable because it makes companies more valuable -- that iconoclasm is a breath of fresh air. She's clearly an educator (she owns a company that delivers corporate trainings). The book is structured to reinforce take-aways so readers find it hard to miss them, and it balances generalities with anecdotes and appeals to authority. I expect this book won't age particularly well (it's only two weeks old as I write this, and it draws extensively on recent news and today's zeitgeist for examples). But then again, I'm not sure it is supposed to age well. I also get the impression that the book is a labor of love for its author, who deeply believes in and wants to spread this gospel in a way that will be most relatable to people today. I also suspect that she expects the ways to show others you actually care will be so substantially changed in another 10 or 15 years that a new book & training will supersede hers. MiJung Kim has written the exhaustive and actionable training that folks are unlikely to have ever received at work. It delivers more tangibly on the promise implied by the title of Kendi's How to be an Antiracist than anything else I've read. If you're looking for that kind of guide, this is your book. If you've had some trainings and done some reading, you probably won't find much new here -- though it might still be nice to have someone talk you through it all with a "what should & can I do" lens.

This informative guide helps allies who want to go beyond rigid Diversity and Inclusion best practices, with real tools to go from good intentions to making meaningful change in any situation or venue. 2022 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD WINNER 2022 NATIONAL ANTIRACIST BOOK FESTIVAL SELECTION 2021 PORCHLIGHT PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT & HUMAN BEHAVIOR BOOK OF THE YEAR As we become more aware of various social injustices in the world, many of us want to be part of the movement toward positive change. But sometimes our best intentions cause unintended harm, and we fumble. We might feel afraid to say the wrong thing and feel guilt for not doing or knowing enough. Sometimes we might engage in performative allyship rather than thoughtful solidarity, leaving those already marginalized further burdened and exhausted. The feelings of fear, insecurity, inadequacy are all too common among a wide spectrum of changemakers, and they put many at a crossroads between feeling stuck and giving up, or staying grounded to keep going. So how can we go beyond performative allyship to creating real change in ourselves and in the world, together? In The Wake Up, Michelle MiJung Kim shares foundational principles often missing in today's mainstream conversations around "diversity and inclusion," inviting readers to deep dive into the challenging and nuanced work of pursuing equity and justice, while exploring various complexities, contradictions, and conflicts inherent in our imperfect world. With a mix of in-the-trenches narrative and accessible unpacking of hot button issues--from inclusive language to representation to "cancel culture"--Michelle offers sustainable frameworks that guide us how to think, approach, and be in the journey as thoughtfully and powerfully as possible. The Wake Up is divided into four key parts: Grounding: begin by moving beyond good intentions to interrogating our deeper "why" for committing to social justice and uncovering our "hidden stories." Orienting: establish a shared understanding around our historical and current context and issues we are trying to solve, starting with dismantling white supremacy. Showing Up: learn critical principles to approach any situation with clarity and build our capacity to work through complexity, nuance, conflict, and imperfections. Moving Together: remember the core of this work is about human lives, and commit to prioritizing humanity, healing, and community. The Wake Up is an urgent call for us to move together while seeing each other's full and expansive humanity that is at the core of our movement toward justice, healing, and freedom.
