Description
About the Book
"Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Culture is about inclusion in everyday business life. Inclusion and diversity are topics that touch everything we do. For us to move away from the age of racial discrimination and injustice, we need everyone involved and everyone to know how they should show up to support BIPOC at work and beyond. This book provides straightforward information and action items to make any workplace more inclusive. A lot of books are not simple enough and they don't use accessible examples. Allies and Advocates simplifies complex topics, gives real-world examples, and provides tactics to help everyone see their own role in creating an inclusive work environment."--Book Synopsis

PRAISE FOR Allies and Advocates
"Do you have an appetite for radical candor? In Allies and Advocates, Amber Cabral takes you by the hand and leads you into a world of vulnerability and self-exploration from which you emerge as an instrument of change. She is the authentic voice we didn't know was missing from the conversation. Witty, wise, and full of gems, this is the no-nonsense guide we've been waiting for-from a voice we can trust."
--KISHA MODICA, Head of Equality & Belonging, Gap Inc.

Cabral's book brings the reader to a shared clarity and understanding of humanity in a time of great uncertainty and injustice."
--JOSÉ LUIS VILSON, author, This is Not a Test and Executive Director, EduColor
"A must-read for anyone curious about how to contribute towards a more equitable society. Amber simply and effectively provides historical events in context and arms us with necessary vocabulary, concepts, and steps for all of us to act, ally, and advocate in service of the marginalized. Why? Because black lives matter too, because we all have some privilege that we can choose to turn into power to uplift the underrepresented and dismantle oppressive systems, because of our shared humanity."
--LYNN WONG, Senior Director II, Global Logistics, Walmart Inc.

With every page, Amber paints a portrait of what true inclusion looks like; whether it's applied to the workplace, or to one's personal life. The authenticity of Amber's delivery is not only easy to digest, but also informative and has something every person can take away regardless of background, race, ethnicity, gender, age, or experience. Awesomely, fantastic work!"
