About this listen

As the unprecedented backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion intensifies—with corporations dismantling initiatives and lawmakers passing anti-DEI legislation—this tactical handbook arms advocates with resistance strategies drawn from Black historical movements.

Dr. Janice Gassam Asare transforms centuries of Black resistance wisdom into modern resistance plans, wielding ethical AI as a force multiplier to create sustainable change that outlasts corporate whims and political cycles.

Each chapter grounds modern workplace tactics in revolutionary approaches of more than twenty prominent Black historical figures, including the following:

  • Ida B. Wells—Documentation techniques for workplace injustice inspired by her work
  • Ella Baker and Fred Hampton—Coalition-building methods from the American civil rights movement
  • Toni Morrison and Angela Davis—Narrative control strategies drawn from their celebrated writing

Whether you’re a DEI practitioner navigating corporate pushback, an employee experiencing equity rollbacks, or a leader committed to sustainable inclusion, this handbook provides battle-tested strategies for preserving workplace equity—even in hostile environments.
