Deep Diversity: A Compassionate, Scientific Approach to Achieving Racial Justice

Racial justice without shame and blame: • Choudhury explores the emotionally loaded topic of racism in a compassionate, scientific manner that everyone can understand, whether you are Black, Indigenous, a person of color (BIPOC) or white. Business Executives, doctors, lawyers,scientists, educators, and non-profit leaders: • These are just some of the professionals Choudhury has shared his techniques with to inspire change and create inclusive working environments for all employees. Controversial approach: • With 25 years under his belt as a racial justice educator, Choudhury argues that traditional approaches to anti-racism and anti-oppression provide only a partial understanding of systemic discrimination. Trauma-informed, compassionate: • With trauma training in his background, Choudhury teaches that by integrating compassion and psychological literacy with racial justice, feelings of shame are avoided in people, whether white or BIPOC, so that the pursuit of system-wide change becomes possible. The Malcom Gladwell of racial justice: • Choudhury’s storytelling approach is used to make complex ideas about systemic discrimination accessible and clear… inspired by fellow Canadian, Malcolm Gladwell, who grew up in a neighbouring small town to Choudhury. Like Brene Brown, Choudhury models vulnerability and mistake-making • , sharing examples of his own bias-missteps so readers are encouraged into their own racial justice journey without judgment. Road-tested with thousands of people: • As neuropsychologist and New York Times- • bestselling author Rick Hanson said in his early endorsement of the book, "Choudhury draws on heart-touching stories, research on the brain, and hard-won lessons from real-world interventions to offer useful strategies to know ourselves, and others better" regarding racism and racial difference.
