To illustrate the logic and grammar of coercion, this analysis relies on decision-theory methods, such as game theory, that examine the strategic decision-making process in interactions with adversaries and partners. #FridayReads "Coercing Fluently: The Grammar of Coercion in the Twenty-first Century" https://lnkd.in/egbFkc-7

You may have the right intentions, but please understand that pushing for the public sharing of individuals' lived experiences can be traumatizing. Engaging marginalized communities goes beyond sharing their stories of challenges and barriers. They should be included in decision-making, designing direct service programs, and providing feedback on their needs and how to best serve them. Let's be more deliberate, mindful and empathetic when asking people to relive their experiences for organizational or personal gain. Instead, leverage their insights and experiences to create a more impactful and less harmful approach. #empowerment #stakeholderenagement #organizationaltransfomation #impactingcommunities #nsbooyerconsulting

I love the outcome of educating people in #DEI – but I don't pretend it isn't painful to have to frequently explain why I deserve basic human rights in my home state where I've lived for 5+ generations. To be asked whether I have a penis or a vagina, by people who consider that relevant to whether I should be allowed a legal, valid driver's license so I can vote, open a checking account, or drive a truck to make sure my mortgage is paid — because DEI consulting in Arkansas doesn't offer me that stability, despite its frequent demand of my labor. To spend DAYS writing a 26 page, 35-citation paper to state legislators detailing irreversible harms I've experienced, including coerced/forced sterilization because of my gender, and other coerced surgeries that ruined my life just so I would meet some complete stranger's idea of what's "masculine enough." To be told by a public health nurse that I can't get an HIV test because she just cannot believe any gay man would want to have sex with me. I truly do love doing DEI work. I love the connecting that comes from it. I love the ease with which we can talk as friends after the hard part is over. I love the hope it gives me that the people I've talked with might not vote to eradicate me from society or harm me anymore, like they've been doing. I love understanding one another and being good neighbors. There is no need to feel shame about your privileges. But a little appreciation and changed behavior for the better when folks break open our personal wounds to show you how the daily systems that are designed *for you* harmfully impact hundreds of thousands or millions of people – that humility goes a long way toward making all this work worth it.

When employees from marginalized communities share their experience in a workplace not only are they reopening their hurt, they are trusting a leader, a process or an organization to take care and action with the information they shared. They are also demonstrating their level of investment in your organization. They want to see this company doing the right thing and being a safe place not just for them but for everyone around them and those to come because 9 out of 10 they only shared because they care. The question then becomes, does your organization care?

The first step in Allyship is educating yourself. The first step in Activism work is becoming a disruptor. 👏

This is powerful.

It's a good trial.
