If you believe People of Color that workplace inequities exist, but aren’t really sure what that means or what you, personally, can do about it, this is the book for you. If you don’t believe PoC, this book will probably make you angry, and you need to sit with that and figure things out.
In Waymakers, Tara Jaye Frank eloquently and gently provides some hard truths and perspectives many white people have not considered before. In many cases, many white people, especially white men, haven’t considered how the nuances of their daily interactions, workplace culture, and institutionalized industry standards effect personal lives and even organizational health. But if you’re in that category and you’re reading this review, know that if you don’t get this book and you continue to remain ignorant, willful ignorance of workplace inequities is your choice.
Tara Jaye Frank expertly interweaves logic, data, and storytelling to hit the desires of a wide audience, drawing on her experience as a Hallmark executive, her coaching, and DEI research. She makes a case for the “why” and also presents the “how” in multiple ways. She uses scripture, as her personal faith helps direct her in life, but the references are few and are relevant to all people as empowering instances of poetry.
And to be fair, her recommendations can make you a better manager of people and coworker, in general. This is good Professional Development and touches on issues that also directly affect white people.
The audiobook is done as well as can be, narrated by the author, whose voice is clear, strong, and pleasant. But I would recommend a hard copy you can make notes in, chomp on a little at a time, and reference quickly. And I’m certain the visual order of the guide would help stick in the brain better. But the audiobook for backup may be a good idea too.
I also recommend following Tara Jaye Frank on LinkedIn for continued insight. I actually started following her after hearing her on Clubhouse.

An invitation to every leader, at every level, who is willing to make a way through the wilderness for people who, historically, have not been given the tools, resources, or guidance to do it for themselves or others like them. The success of those who need Waymakers relies on the unwritten being written and the unspoken being spoken.... When we fix our systems and invite the most disadvantaged onto the playing field, we fix the systems for and invite everyone.
