Abstract
The authors, in trying for better approaches to racial and gender equity, discuss what they call the “Shared Sisterhood” philosophy and approach on “how to achieve equity across genders and racioethnicity (i.e., race + culture combined) grounded in deep introspection and authentic interpersonal connection. In the workplace, equity is achieved via collective action, which means that you work with your coworkers to attain a common goal of equity.” They also note problems that the DEI/diversity, equity, and inclusion industry has had in organizations, even in today’s landscape where we have greater overall awareness of these topics. “With Shared Sisterhood,” they write, “we ask whether the power to change lies in growing and connecting with others and using those connections to foment the dismantling of systemic inequities.” They outline various steps individuals can take, each of which is described in more detail in the article. Some are, in their words: Keep reading; Follow people from different racioethnic groups on social media; and engage with different news sources. These are followed by interpersonal steps, such as Create book clubs or discussion circles to practice Shared Sisterhood exercises, and Create partnerships with other people to hold each other accountable for working toward equity.
