MY LITTLE BLACK BOOK: A BLACKTIONARY
Imagine if the language of race was better understood, better articulated and uttered with confidence by everyone. My Little Black Book: A Blacktionary aims to do just that. Through their work with organisations and companies across the world, Maggie and Jane found that there was a need to help people as they cautiously discussed difference and inclusion.
This book is for all of us. It's for people entering the workplace and finding their identity, for managers who feel bombarded with ever-evolving definitions and neat phrases, for everyone who is afraid of saying the wrong thing and being judged. A contemporary dictionary, a global lexicon that reflects today's world and breaks down barriers to engaging in conversations on race.

“If you are a manager or senior leader or just have a general interest and you want to learn more about difference, race and inclusion - this is gold dust."
DR NIKITA MEHTA
“Loved the book. Took it on the flight. Such an amazing educational piece. Teaching and understanding the new words and how to be culturally sensitive to a topic that I am still learning."
BÁRBARA
"I am amazed on how little I know and on how much I still have to learn and be more aware on this matter. I already know for sure that this book will make me a better person, I wanted to let you know that what you and Jane wrote is contributing to that."
RACHEL
"I love that this book exists; as someone keen to understand the issues of race in our society, it was very helpful to me to have an encyclopaedia of sorts to understand various terms/ideas."​
KJK READS
"This is a great book that I think maybe everyone should read at least once. It is important for people to actively educate themselves rather than relying on the minority groups to educate us and this book is full of information to make a great start."
