Please join the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network and the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging for a virtual book talk to celebrate the release of Say the Right Thing: How to Talk About Identity, Diversity, and Justice by Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow. Say the Right Thing is a practical, shame-free guide for navigating conversations about our differences in a time of rapid social change. Whether we’re managing diverse teams at work, navigating issues of inclusion at school, or challenging biased comments at a family barbecue, the book provides the tools to do good in our spheres of influence.

What people are saying about Say The Right Thing:

"Open-hearted and constructive, Say the Right Thing is a crucial read for anyone seeking the words to put their values into the world."
– Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Four Tendencies and The Happiness Project 

“Diversity is a fact, but inclusion is a choice. This book is an utterly transformative guide to building an inclusive culture—one conversation at a time.”
– Vanessa Williams, award-winning actress and singer, and New York Times bestselling co-author of You Have No Idea

“Clear-eyed, rigorous, humane, but most importantly wise. Say the Right Thing manages to be both righteous and kind, which is the combination we all need.”
– Chris Hayes, New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning news anchor
