The Book
Why Purchase this Book?
This easy-to-read, 20-chapter book does this through educational, interactive discussions based on my 20+ year career working in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) for higher education. In this book, I take readers on a journey filled with personal stories, anecdotes from students nationwide, and extensive background research to showcase the many intersections of race, gender, sexuality, learning styles, nationality, religion, etc. that students face.
