Book Recommendation: Black Woman Redefined PDF Print E-mail

We highly recommend Sophia Nelson's book, Black Woman Redefined: Dispelling Myths and Discovering Fulfillment in the Age of Michelle Obama. This book focuses on college-educated Black women and their daily struggles with attempting to find balance in their lives. Having worked as an attorney in a big law firm, Nelson offers keen insight into Black womens' struggles within the legal profession. The book can be purchased here.

Also, we discovered this book through an NPR story entitled Time to 'Redefine' Media Portrayals of Black Women. This was a very interesting and enlightening podcast. Check it out asap.

Book We Recommend: The Difference PDF Print E-mail

 

 

The Difference by Scott Page provides scientific support for the sensibility of diversity, showing that with any given problem you actually arrive at the best, most efficient solution through having diverse perspectives represented.

Page writes: "If I formed two groups, one random (and therefore diverse) and one consisting of the best individual performers, the first group almost always did better. In my model, diversity trumped ability."

You can purchase The Difference here. We're sure it will make the difference in your firm or organization (pun intended, of course). Corny, we know. :)
