Review Quotes:
"This book shows how belonging is made real in the spaces we create with and for one another, grounded in relationship, care, and a commitment to one another's humanity. Drawing on the framework of targeted universalism, it calls us to hold a vision that includes us all while attending to the particular histories and structures that shape our lives. At a time of deep division and retrenchment, this work is both a reminder and a call-to keep choosing belonging, and to keep building it together."
- john a. powell, Othering & Belonging Institute director, author of Belonging without Othering and The Power of Bridging
"At a time when organizations are retreating from their inclusion commitments, Nichole Barnes Marshall makes the most compelling case I've read for why that retreat will cost them everything. This book arrives right on time."
- Keith R. Wyche, Fortune 500 Board Director and Best-Selling Author of Good Is Not Enough
"Decades of research and a career spent building trust inside organizations confirm that belonging is the condition trust lives in. Get it right, and the work transforms. Nichole Barnes Marshall got it right. And then she wrote this book. She walks leaders room by room through what belonging requires. This is inclusion made operational. It is lived. And it produces results."
- Dr. Rachel Talton, Founder & CEO, Synergy International Limited, Inc. and Author of the upcoming book, Sacred Strategies: 12 Minutes to Purposeful Leadership
