Mum, dad, I Am Officially An Author ✍️🎉 Even though my parents did not get the chance to be educated they ensured that I got that chance they never did and this book is dedicated to them 💐 Two years ago, my best friend Folashade and I embarked on a journey, and I am thrilled to share that we have reached the culmination of this journey with the release and launch of our book - 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴? Our journey was inspired by the challenges we observed in society, including: 📛Fewer people engaging in meaningful conversations 📛False narratives spreading unchecked and 📛Widening societal divides We discovered that one reason for the decline in conversations was the fear of saying the wrong things to people who are different from us. To address this, Folashade and I decided to create a tool to empower people to converse more confidently and empathetically. We undertook extensive research and spoke to various groups to understand the phrases they find hurtful or inappropriate. Our goal was to understand why these phrases are harmful and to suggest alternative, more respectful ways of communicating. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 is the result of our hard work. Gemma, who has read the book, shared her thoughts: "I immediately went to the section that deals with harmful phrases to women and chuckled as I could relate to so many. Then I went through other harmful phrases and found that I am guilty of some of these and am glad the book suggested more appropriate phrases to use." This journey has been incredibly enlightening for us, and we have learnt so much about the power of empathetic communication. You can get a paperback or eBook version on Amazon - https://lnkd.in/drVF7x-V. If you would like to order in bulk to empower your colleagues, please reach out to me. A big thank you to everyone who supported us throughout this journey. Your encouragement kept us going!
