M. Gabriela Alcalde: WHAT YOUR COMFORT COSTS US (with Khalilah Harris and Nancy Lord)

Come on over to Bird in Hand for an intimate, conversation-style event with Dr. M. Gabriela Alcalde, whose research and practice have led to her new, impactful book: What Your Comfort Costs Us: How Women of Color Reimagine Leadership to Transform Workplace Culture. Khalilah Harris and Nancy Lord will join Dr. Alcalde in conversation.

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.
