Trust the Process: Reflections of a Nonprofit Race Equity Movement

By Dr. Michelle Majors

Book Overview

How does one write about lawyers who fight against the injustices of the most vulnerable while grappling with their own privilege and attitudes that perpetuate the very system they claim to oppose? Not only does Michelle Majors celebrate the applauded efforts of one law firm's work to create workplace equity, she also includes steps for organizations who choose to take on the necessary task of creating a workplace culture of belonging, inclusion, and equity.The element that makes equity so difficult for organizations is perception. Perception is where the hardest work is done because perception is not a view of the workplace, it is a view of the self. Shifted perception and the resulting equity (preceded by belonging and inclusion) allows for the seemingly impossible to become possible.

Quite simply, this is a story about a daring group of people, led by radical leadership, working together to become an anti-racist organization, and all that came along with it --through mistakes, questions, fears, and ups and downs.
