During last week’s inaugural address, we heard a call to ‘End government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.’ The truth? The structures of race and gender are already engineered into every system we navigate. But I’m not surprised he said those words because it’s a common misconception, especially for people who have not confronted their privilege. His are just weighted with more power than any other. Unfortunately, reinstating colorblind behaviors and leaning into the myth of meritocracy is not the answer. 

My new book, 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓: 𝑵𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑩𝒆 𝒂 𝑩𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓, 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒈𝒖𝒆, 𝑬𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓, 𝑵𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒃𝒐𝒓, 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒐𝒓, offers a framework to understand these realities and addresses these challenges head-on. So I am rushing the book release to equip readers with language and tools to engage thoughtfully in this conversation—whether you’re building understanding, strengthening your knowledge, or teaching others.

You see, 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓 is a modern fable that helps us see ourselves, others, and the world differently. Rooted in storytelling, scaffolded in learning theory, and designed for accessibility for often hard-to-grasp concepts (like race and gender and the related systems of racism and sexism), the book guides readers to reflect, grow, and take actionable steps toward creating more inclusive and equitable spaces. 

Readers will learn about the positionality prism, a reflection, and refraction of our personhood, perception, and power, and leave with nine practices revealed through real-world scenarios and painted in a fantastical story of discovery.
