I Read: Birds of All Feathers

Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right by Michael Bach

Equality is giving everyone a shoe.  Equity is giving everyone a shoe that fits.

Important words to consider when thinking about diversity and inclusion. Everyone deserves equity because equality isn't taking individualism into account.

There's not a lot I can say about this book. It speaks for itself. Michael Bach is well-versed in diversity and inclusion and sets this book up as a simple-to-read starter for anyone wanting to think more about the topics. There's obviously not going to be a step-by-step manual in a 200-page pocket-sized book, but the words here will make the reader think about themselves, and their organization from a different perspective. 

If you are sitting there pondering why he needed to list Diversity and Inclusion separately on the cover, then you should read the book. It contains a great explanation for what we do well, and what we do poorly, in our general attempts at diversity, and inclusion.
