New Book Release: 'From Ally to Accomplice: How to Lead as a Fierce Antiracist' by Award-Winning DEI Coach Seena Hodges of The Woke Coach
SAINT PAUL, Minn., November 21, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Renowned diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) coach Seena Hodges, founder of The Woke Coach®, is excited to announce the release of her groundbreaking book, "From Ally to Accomplice: How to Lead as a Fierce Antiracist,” where she shares best practices from her DEI training programs for every person and organization, no matter where they are on their antiracism journey.
"In our day-to-day lives, it’s not enough to simply stand by and be an ally,” said Hodges. “Whether you’re a leader inside your organization or outside of your workplace, it’s time to become an accomplice. This book is an invitation and call to action for anyone looking for support in their efforts to fight against the multi-faceted phenomenon of racism."
In her debut book, Hodges provides a roadmap for leaders, featuring educational tools, personal anecdotes and real-life examples to illustrate the importance of collective action and ongoing education. By emphasizing the significance of listening, learning and unlearning, Hodges empowers readers to cultivate authentic relationships and create inclusive spaces for all.
"I wasn’t expecting a self-help book on racism to be a page-turner, but Seena shares profound expertise and wisdom in such an engaging and straightforward way that it’s hard not to read it cover to cover,” said David Wilson, managing partner at Commutator LLC. “And at the end of it, the case for becoming an accomplice fighting racism is compelling, and the path forward is clear. This book will change the hearts, minds and actions of all who read it.”
