We often talk about how we can adjust culture or environments to accommodate women, but what if we built a culture that included everyone from the outset? We talk about ways in which we can make space for people with disabilities or amplify visible minorities voices - but what if we stop thinking about accommodating, and making room, and saving space, and giving a platform, and allowing a voice? Because those sentences all stem from the idea that we have the power and we own the space and we get to decide who gets to be heard and seen and take part. It’s pretty arrogant actually. People with disabilities exist - they live and function in our society today. BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Persons of Colour) exist and a take up space and have voices all their own. And women exist and work and get stuff done often in spite of the men around them. So rather than looking at how the dominant culture can or should allow other demographics space and time, what if we built a new culture where everyone already had that opportunity as a given understanding? What if?

"I’m not looking for #books that tell me how to fit into a culture designed for men―I’m interested in books that offer insights on how to succeed while being #authentic and true to myself."
