Radical Inclusion: Seven Steps to Help You Create a More Just Workplace, Home, and World by David Moinina Sengeh

kledvina's review

4.0

This book explores inclusion, the “I” in the increasingly popular acronym, DEI. In David Moinina Sengeh’s personal and professional anecdotes we can see the possibility for true inclusion in organizations and communities. His coalition’s struggle for pregnant students' education in Sierra Leone is evidence that progress toward inclusion is possible today. I enjoyed this book and I’d recommend it for anyone interested in social inclusion and/or shifting cultural beliefs.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for this ALC!

Excellent! Advice provided on how to actually enact inclusion with real-world examples of how Sengeh took that advice in his own life and work. His story of helping remove the ban on pregnant girls attendig school is also an important story to be told. I'll actually be buying a copy so I can start applying the ideas in my own work.

This review will be inadequate to express exuberance for this unexpected book. I picked this up because I've been on a unusual-for-me-run of nonfiction books. At the introduction, I really thought this was going to be the kind of politician nonfiction self-aggrandizing book to move their platform to a wider audience (and maybe this still is, but does so gracefully?) The steps outlined for Radical Inclusion are not necessarily new but enlightening and engaging. Sengeh has actual personal stories on how to make it happen. It was really insightful to see how he used these steps to create change. It is inspiring to see someone in government actually make an impactful change, learn while doing it, and then sharing the lessons- good and bad. 

Also, excited to learn this was from the new Melinda French Gates imprint. I'm definitely impressed and excited to see what is produced next.
