The essential guide to parenting multiracial and multiethnic children of all ages and learning to support and celebrate their multiracial identitiesIn a world where people are more likely to proclaim color-blindness than talk openly about race, how can we truly value, support, and celebrate our kids' identities? How can we assess our own sense of Racial Dialogue Readiness and develop a deeper understanding of the issues facing multiracial children today?Raising Multiracial Children gives caregivers the tools for exploring race with their children, offering practical guidance on how to initiate conversations; consciously foster racial identity development; discuss issues like microaggressions, intersectionality, and privilege; and intentionally cultivate a sense of belonging. It provides an overview of key issues and current topics relevant to raising multiracial children and offers strategies and developmentally appropriate milestones from infancy through adulthood. The book ends with resources and references for further learning and exploration.

"This is the first authoritative book on building employee resource groups (ERGs) to empower underrepresented employees and positively impact DEI efforts within organizations and in society at large. Originating out of affirmative action policies, employee resource groups have evolved into powerful sources of employee activity and engagement that organizations have leveraged to support business goals. But ERGs can play a critical role in creating a more inclusive and just world while serving company interests. This book focuses on both how to manage ERGs effectively and why organizations should pay close attention to these groups as a source for innovation, belonging, feedback, and direction on tough issues and new company initiatives. It was Black and female ERG leaders who surfaced DEI problems at Uber and Google, and Asian ERGs helped Coca-Cola roll out a supply chain change to convenience store owners. Participating in an ERG could also help professionals of color advance their careers and increase diverse representation in leadership. Farzana Nayani provides foundational tools for starting ERGs and outlines the 5 Ps-purpose, people, processes, planning, and priorities-needed to successfully operate them. Unlike other ERG handbooks, this book is people-centric and socially conscious instead of being purely technical or existing in a vacuum. It also serves as a deeper call to action around how, with more effective ERGs, we can truly progress toward the DEI goals that we are all setting out to accomplish"-- Provided by publisher
