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

4.0

Told with charisma and focus, this is the convincing appeal to inclusion of all people to universal human rights. The author served in his community in Sierra Leone as the minister of education and is Ivy League educated, and he uses his specific work with inclusion of pregnant girls in schools as an anecdote for advocacy of radical inclusion in public policy. The message is engaging and clear, and it was a pleasure to learn this story in service of critical engagement and discourse at the service of just governance.

He weaves in racial justice anecdotes and pieces of himself through quoting bell hooks and Eminem, etc. The organizational structure of the story is guide to seven steps for adopting radical inclusion, though that and the title itself suggest a rigidity that thankfully does not apply—the narrative structure provides charm and readability.

The 7 steps-

1- identify the exclusion
2- listen to understand and learn
3- define your role- why you, why now?
4- build a coalition
5- advocacy and action
6- adapting to a new normal
7- beyond inclusion- maintenance, vigilance, inclusion as a mindset
