Being "good-ish"

The Person You Mean To Be: How Good People Fight Bias
By Dolly Chugh

HarperBusiness, 2018
Genre: Professional Text

Dolly Chugh invites us to not live in the binary of good and bad yet realize that we are all working at being “good-ish.” As we work to uncover our bias as well as learn about ways to approach microagressions, it is important to realize we will mess up and that’s okay. The most important aspect is that we are trying. She discusses ways to be an accomplice to those that experience marginalization and how to not only say you are going to do it, yet actually take action. Her book inspires self-reflection, understanding, and love as we all work to make this world a better place.

The Person You Mean to Be is available from the Carmel Clay Public Library as well as through Amazon.
