Leading for survival, leading for liberation--how to uplift women of color, transform cultures of complicity, and upend white supremacy culture at work

Workplace leaders: white comfort comes at the safety of women of color--and it costs lives and livelihoods. Microaggressions, structural barriers, unpaid emotional labor: WOC in leadership disproportionately bear the burdens of white supremacist work cultures, even as they're expected to take charge of reforms. But building better workplaces--less toxic, racist, and misogynistic workplaces--is everyone's responsibility and for everyone's benefit. And letting it fall solely to women of color is causing real harm. The stakes are high, and it's past time for change.

What Your Comfort Costs Us offers essential reading and transparent advice for leaders who are ready to address structural inequity at work. With chapters like Talking About Racism is Hard, Checking the Boxes, and Uncovering the Added Burden and Toll of Unpaid and Unseen Emotional Labor, anti-supremacist philanthropic and nonprofit leader and author M. Gabriela Alcalde challenges us to rethink how we engage power--and take radical action toward reorienting it toward collective liberation.
