Sarpong begins by defining diversity and explaining why it is important. She argues that diversity is not just about race and ethnicity, but also about gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, and other factors. She also discusses the benefits of diversity, such as increased creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills.

Sarpong then goes on to explore the challenges of diversity, such as prejudice, discrimination, and unconscious bias. She argues that these challenges can be overcome through education, awareness, and action. She also provides practical advice on how to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace, school, or community.

A decent exploration of how to diversify our society; there are a lot of things I liked about this book, including the action points, personal anecdotes to break up the otherwise dense non-fiction, and some chapters were definitely stronger than others. I do wish Sarpong would have been less afraid to express opinion (especially in the face of communities that definitely don’t support diversity) as it was clear this was held back; I feel it would have only lended to her argument. Still some good points for the average reader!

This is a very thought-provoking book which is well placed to encourage us to challenge ourselves and think about the values we hold and the prejudices we have.

Diversify is a fantastic and thought-provoking read, all about the cost of exclusion and how, in the end, it actually benefits nobody. I liked how well explained all of the points made throughout were, along with evidence and case studies being provided. A thoroughly interesting and relevant book that everyone should read.

This is such an incredible book to pick up points that need to be spoken about! Everyone should have a copy of this on their shelf, but be warned you may not be the same person at the end of the book as you were before you started to read (for the better).

I think this is a very important book and it's relevant in these day when topics like inclusion, diversity and acceptance are quite hot.
The author did a good job in analyzing the different cultures and it gave tons of food for thought.
I strongly recommend it because these topics are relevant in today turmoils.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
