Summary:
"Sharp, funny, and poignant stories of what it’s like to be a brown woman working for change in a
white
world
. I take a deep breath, check my lipstick one last time on my phone camera, and turn on my mic. It’s about ten steps, two metres, and one lifetime to the front of the room. “Hello,” I repeat. “My name is Annahid — pronounced Ah-nah-heed — and shit’s about to get real!”. In a series of deft interlocking stories, Annahid Dashtgard shares her experiences searching for, and teaching about,
belonging
in our deeply divided
world
. A critically acclaimed, racialized immigrant writer and recognized inclusion leader, Dashtgard writes with wisdom, honesty, and a wry humour as she considers what it means to belong — to a country, in a marriage, in our own skin — and what it means when
belonging
is absent. Like the
bones
of the human body, these stories knit together a remarkable vision of what
wholeness
looks like as a racial outsider in a culture still dominated by whiteness."--From publisher.
Annahid Dashtgard, is CEO of Anima Leadership, a racial justice consulting firm. Born in Iran in the 1970s, she immigrated to a small town in Alberta, Canada. Over the last two decades she has worked with hundreds of organizations and leaders to create more inclusive workplaces. Her first book, Breaking the Ocean: A Memoir of Race, Rebellion, and Reconciliation, met rave reviews. Toronto is her chosen home.
