This book is for anyone who wants to understand what being more inclusive at work means, especially as it relates to black leaders. It is intended for those people who are saying “I don’t know where to start,” “I don’t know what to do” and “I don’t know what to say” when understanding and talking about race at work.

This book provides the insights and ideas required to have positive conversations about race at work and to create work environments where black leaders can thrive. In identifying the attributes and behaviours that successful black leaders have in common, this book offers new ways of thinking about black people at work that help to further inclusion. It shines a light on the daily reality of being a black leader in the workplace, providing an alternative entry point for conversations around inclusion and explores what individuals and organisations can do to increase inclusion in the workplace. Through first-hand stories this book explores the challenges, compromises, struggles and successes that black people encounter, and the range of strategies they employ to achieve success as they navigate the “white” workplace. It is essential reading for business leaders in the private, public and third sector, human resources professionals, students, anyone teaching or mentoring black students or leaders and everyone interested in understanding race and furthering inclusion in the workplace.

"If I wait for someone else to validate my existence, it will mean that I'm short-changing myself," appropriately said by Zanele Muholi, a South African Activist, serves the very motto of this book. Prismatic Hearts aims to accentuate the individualism of people belonging to the LGBTQ++ Community. Even in the vibrant growing modernity of the 21st century, that we thrive in, the stigma revolving around the community still prevails. The society continues to label 'abnormal' to anything and everything that doesn't meet their basic taste. It is high time we take in charge to minimize and ultimately curb out such mentality. This book is a collection of prose and poetry, delicately penned by people belonging from and outside the community who together has contributed to upheld the beauty of being oneself.
