Julie Pham, PhD – thank you for naming "Leading From Within" in this year’s Leadership Book List by Black Authors. In a moment where the language of equity is being scrutinized, diluted, and at times dismantled, intentional amplification matters. Curation is leadership. Visibility is leadership. Choosing to expand who we read is an act of design. To see this work included among more than 270 Black-authored leadership books is both humbling and affirming. It signals that the stories, frameworks, and lived leadership experiences we poured into those pages are landing where they are meant to. Grateful for the care CuriosityBased continues to take in shaping how leadership is defined and who gets to define it. And congratulations to James and Kristen on Reimagine Equity. Starting with “We love you” is not naïve. It is bold. The work continues.
Today is the official release of "Reimagine Equity: Leading Strategically to Fulfill the Promise of DEI" by James Whitfield and Kristen Whitfield, co-founders of Be Culture. As first-time authors, they’ve made a meaningful contribution to the leadership field. https://lnkd.in/g5kSwgeG Writing about diversity, equity, and inclusion feels especially bold right now. DEI is under attack. Funding for related programs continues to be pulled back. At times, it can feel like there is more division than understanding in our world. And yet, their book begins with the words: “We love you.” A Valentine’s Day launch feels especially fitting. The book lives up to its promise. After reading it, I genuinely feel that “equity” has been reimagined for me. "Reimagine Equity" is one of 278 books on this year’s Leadership Book List by Black Authors, which we create to help celebrate Black History Month. This marks CuriosityBased's fifth year researching and curating leadership book lists for heritage and history months. We believe that to enrich how we lead, we need to expand who we read. We also expand how we define leadership, which is why the list includes memoirs alongside traditional leadership texts. This list is not exhaustive. The CuriosityBased team works to grow it each year, and we welcome recommendations for next year’s update. 📚 Check out the full list here: https://lnkd.in/gZ6HAWkq If you think this list is valuable, please share it so these authors receive the attention they deserve. #BlackHistoryMonth #LeadershipBooks #ExpandWhoWeRead #EnrichHowWeLead #EquityInLeadership #dei #diversityequityinclusion #books #leadershipbooks #memoirs Leadership Eastside Banner: 2026 Banner of Leadership Books by Black Authors, including Jesse Rhodes, Jr. Chantée Christian MBA, PMP, CCMP, PCC Dyana Langley-Robinson, MBA Robert Britten Charles Booker Susana Morris
