Minal Bopaiah's book is a succinct jewel. Anyone who wants to better understand inclusion, diversity, and equity, as well as paths toward reaching these goals organizationally-and personally-would benefit from reading it. My thinking has been broadened by reading it, and I know I'll refer to it many times in the future. -Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Do you wish your organization was more equitable? Well, stop wishing and start designing! Equity is a guidebook for change. It's a fast and engaging read loaded with practical guidance, and it's a must-read for leaders who want to create conditions in which everyone can flourish. -Dan Heath, coauthor of Switch and author of Upstream Though this book is short, it's dense; it's meant to be studied, dog-eared, and shared throughout your organization. Just the glossary alone, with a three-page list of the most crucial concepts addressed in the book, will be enough to keep readers going back to this book regularly as a reference guide. Those looking for a way into the immense change that seeking equity requires would do well to look at this book as an elegantly written skeleton key. -Philanthropy News Digest Minal's blending of design and diversity offers a unique way of understanding both. She combines real-world experience with relevant research to deliver a thoughtful, accessible, and engaging IDEA for meaningful change. -Keith Woods, Chief Diversity Officer, NPR Minal Bopaiah has woven accessibility throughout her discussion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, highlighting its importance to leaders who want to be resilient in a volatile and uncertain world. I highly recommend this book for any organization seeking to be an employer of choice for people with diverse abilities. -Bonnie St. John, bestselling author, Paralympian, and Fortune 500 leadership expert
