Eboni K Williams: Bet on Black, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Bet on Black is an illuminating account of overcoming adversity… an inspiring and hopeful narrative on Blackness." —Bakari Sellers, New York Times bestselling author of My Vanishing Country

Bet on Black is a call to action for Black people all over the world to adopt a fresh, highly informed mindset that will change your life. Blackness is a rich, expansive place that centers resilience, excellence, beauty, panache, and brilliance. But these notions of Blackness have long been distorted by American racism, where for generations Black folks have been expected to live a subordinate, second-class existence in the country they call home. In this book, Williams urges us to take action to uphold Black excellence:
Don’t Let Anyone Make You Their Black Sidekick
Carry Your Blackness Proudly Everywhere You Go
Expose the "Diversity Hire" Stigma
No Need to Codeswitch
Invest in the Invincibility of the Black Community

Williams delves into some of the cornerstones of leading a first-class Black life, ranging from understanding one’s history to investing in the sometimes challenging processes of success. She does this all while sharing intimate details of her own story. Bet on Black will reawaken your self-worth and the value of celebrating Blackness. Williams boldly proclaims that Blackness is the single most misunderstood construct in America. Bet on Black invites you to embrace your blackness and show the world world what it really is.
