“Black Butterfly: Essays On Isms and Lived Experiences in a Race-Centric Nation and the Call to Action" is a poignant collection delving into the multifaceted experiences of navigating a society shaped by racial dynamics. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, this book explores the intricate interplay of the various 'isms’ on the Black-White dichotomy. “Black Butterfly” offers powerful narratives and insightful analyses that shed light on the complexities of identity, social justice, and the enduring impact of systems that are rooted in oppression. Moreover, the collection serves as a rallying cry, passionately advocating for tangible action and societal change to combat these pervasive issues. Each essay serves as a catalyst for dialogue, introspection and, most importantly, a call to mobilize an equitable and inclusive future.

ABOUT UNLEASHEDYOU
The Story
Driven by a need to see individuals, organizations, and communities maximize their full potential, Dr. Addie Ellis, founder of Unleashed You, built her career on taking what is and shifting it to what could be. As an educator, researcher, an observer of life, Dr. Ellis is committed to leaving the world better than how she found it.

UNLEASHED YOU
Unleashed You is a consultancy where we embody the values of racial and cultural equity. We define the values of racial and cultural equity as the policies, procedures, and practices that ensure all people - especially those who have been historically and intentionally exploited, minoritized, marginalized, and racialized, based on race/ethnicity, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, socioeconomic status, geography, citizenship status, religion, also known as "the isms" - are represented in the development of policy, procedures, and practices that impact their lives. We believe including the voices of all can be done without excluding others.
EXECUTIVE COACHING AND LEADERSHIP CAPACITY BUILDING
Diversity, equity and inclusion, affirmative action, and other initiatives designed to diversify hiring pools often increase numbers in the short-term, however in many cases these individuals do not stay. McKinsey (2015, 2018, 2020) studies the impact of diversity on organizational performance. The data supports having a diverse workforce, who feel supported, improves overall company performance. Our executive coaching and leadership capacity building services are designed to support, promote, and retain staff of color.
