Produktbeschreibung
A compilation of poems about racism in the workplace and in childhood, including winning entries from the second Black in White Poetry Competition This book, like its predecessor, is dedicated to all those who see and value the benefits of equality, diversity and inclusion, and who labour actively in whatever capacity within this field to help open the minds of those who are the reason why these poems have been written... "As I read the poems I was moved, more than I ever expected, and then made angry, disgusted and frustrated that individuals are still being denied fair opportunities, are attacked and made to feel less, to be devalued. I was also inspired and felt the beauty of the poems..."Avril Lee, Chair of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations' Diversity and Inclusion Network "I was so genuinely impressed by the quality of entries. Impressed, too, by the diversity of voice, style, and lived experience. There was an abundance of passion, mainly, I believe, due to the addition of the 'childhood racism' category. The entries... were evocative and profound."Serena Malcolm, judge, Black in White Poetry Competition 2022

Autorenporträt
Charlotte Shyllon was raised a diplomat's daughter and lived in a 'privilege bubble', not knowingly impacted by racism until she entered the world of work. A former pharmacist and award-winning journalist, she has worked in the charity and corporate world for 30 years. Over the years, she encountered occasional incidents of racism and unconscious bias, and just accepted that these came with the territory. In 2020, after the murder of George Floyd, she wrote her first book of poems, Black in White, about some of these experiences. Inspired to continue to air stories about racism, in 2021 she launched an annual poetry competition to elicit poems about other people's experiences; she shares the winning and highly commended entries in a new poetry anthology every year, along with several of her own new poems. In addition to Black in White, Charlotte runs a communications and equality, diversity and inclusion consultancy. She is British, of Sierra Leonean parentage, and a proud mum of two.
