Praise for The Anti‐Racist Organization
‘We live in a world built on white supremacy and white privilege. Shereen has written a clear, wonderfully easy‐to‐read book that tells us what we can do about it. From diagnosis to reflection to action, The Anti‐Racist Organization is a blueprint for change and offers a challenge for us to see each other's humanity. Whether you're a leader or an employee, white or Black, I believe you'll gain a lot by reading it.’
Tony Langham, Executive Chair and Co‐founder, Lansons
‘As a finance leader and a white woman, Shereen's words inspire me every day to keep pushing to bring down structural racism both in business and society at large. Shereen is voicing the conversations that your Black and brown colleagues are having behind closed doors every day. Stand up, listen and act. Be part of the change.’
Karla Smith, Lead Finance Director, Ogilvy UK
‘This book weighed heavily on me, as it should. It's unapologetic, enlightening and yet practical. If you are truly interested in becoming an anti‐racist organization, you won't just read this once, but will refer back to it again and again.’
Dr Jane Brearley, Founder & CEO, Intent Health LTD
‘This book is an extension of Shereen's passion, honesty and ability to open your thought process and understanding of the world as it equates to racism. You will question your long standing assumptions/beliefs and/or unconscious thought processes. If you are serious about understanding racism, this is not a “maybe” read but a “must” read for anyone to actively engage in changing the narrative.’
Mary‐Anne Price, HR Director, England Golf
‘This is an honest, thought‐provoking book that takes you on a journey of discomfort that leaves you reflecting on your personal and professional relationship with race and racism.’
Cheryl Samuels, Deputy Director of Workforce Transformation, NHS England
‘What Shereen critiques here is powerful and needed, cuts no punches and tells it straight up; that is what we all need now more than ever before in this crazy world. I urge you to grab this book and read it and read it again and if you're like me you will need to breathe and start at the beginning all over.’
Margot Slattery, Group Head of Diversity & Inclusion, ISS World Services
‘Shereen enlightens the reader with practical steps for those truly motivated to build an Anti‐Racist Organization. This book should be mandatory reading for all CEOs.’
Matthew Phelan, Co‐Founder, The Happiness Index
‘Shereen writes clearly and simply for readers to grasp. If after reading this book you aren't motivated to take transformational action or alter how you do this work, then you need to read it again.’
Cornell Verdeja‐Woodson, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, Headspace Health
