A woman of color-centered approach to transformative leadership: how to build better workplace cultures that resist tokenization, dismantle white supremacy, and empower BIPOC women leaders to thrive
What happens when workplaces put the comfort of white people above the safety of women of color?
Our work environments are toxic. From microaggessions to burnout, the effects of white supremacy at work are evident, and women of color are disproportionately affected. We need solutions for healthier, more inclusive organizations—and the stakes are high.
The Cost of Your Comfort is essential reading for leaders and allies who are motivated to dismantle oppressive structures in the workplace and cultivate truly healthy, inclusive environments. Topics and chapters include:
Featuring personal narratives from 10 women of color in leadership and supported by systemic analysis, The Cost of Your Comfort addresses the pervasive challenges experienced by women of color leaders in their own words—and explores the real-world effects of prioritizing white people's comfort over women of color's material safety. The book also offers practical solutions for any leader looking to transform their workplace culture. By centering empathy and constructive discomfort, The Cost of Your Comfort provides a roadmap for systemic change, empowering leaders to challenge entrenched power dynamics and cultivate healthier, more inclusive workplaces.
