Don’t Label Me

African by birth, Canadian by citizenship, American by immersion and universal by reach, author Irshad Manji inspires fresh perspectives on success, leadership, inclusion and integrity.

Don’t Label Me is a unique conversation about diversity, bigotry, and our common humanity in a world where discord has hit emergency levels. Civility isn’t the reason to repair our caustic chasms. Diversity is.

Studded with insights from epigenetics and epistemology, layered with the lessons of Bruce Lee, Ben Franklin, and Audre Lorde, punctuated with stories about Manji’s own experiences as a refugee from Africa, a Muslim immigrant to the U.S., and a professor of moral courage, Don’t Label Me makes diversity great again. » Order your copy!
