Seele's tireless efforts to remove disparities in health care--and wherever we need more understanding and acceptance--is nothing short of inspirational. --John Hope Bryant, Chairman, Operation HOPE

Stigma is a simple two-syllable word, yet it carries the weight of negative and often unfair beliefs that we hold about those who are different from us. Stigmas lock people into stereotyped boxes and deny us all the right to be our authentic and whole selves. Public health activist Dr. Pernessa Seele, one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential Persons in the World in 2006, has crafted a proven method to address stigma. This powerful book confronts stereotype development, shows how to undo the processes and effects of stigma, and explains how we can radically change cultural thinking on the individual, interpersonal, and societal levels to put an end to stigmatization once and for all.

Pernessa's book can make a difference in your life. In a powerful way, it gets to the heart of a complex issue. Many people stigmatize others without realizing it, and Seele helps readers understand what they can do to change their attitudes and actions. --Jeff Pegues, Justice and Homeland Security Correspondent, CBS News

In sharing cogent reflections based upon her pioneering experiences as a courageous health advocate, Pernessa Seele squarely identifies the societal toll taken by stigma and stereotyping--and delineates the steps we can take to reaffirm the dignity we each innately possess by virtue of our humanity. --Natalia Kanem, MD, Acting Executive Director, United Nations Population Fund
