Equal parts autobiography, cautionary tale, and actionable recommendations, this book is as candid and vulnerable as the author insists all seekers of justice be when they embark on a full-scale DEAI initiative anchored in anti-oppression. Since the beginning of her professional museum journey, Cecile Shellman--like many who have been marginalized by systems ill-prepared to support them--has had to engage in cultural realms in which she was not fully represented and where she was sometimes misrepresented or understood. It's difficult being the "only one in the room," while trying to build relations and succeed in your chosen career. Ms. Shellman shares personal relatable stories that explain how harmful inattention to Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion can be to individuals and to the group dynamic. This rare peek behind the curtain of museum culture leaves no holds barred. The telling is done in an entirely approachable, if humbling way. Poignant illustrations and vivid verbal descriptions are designed to take you further into the author's experience as well as providing moments of reflection and humor. Tales from the field--anonymized stories describing microagressions, discrimination, barriers, and roadblocks in the field--are accompanied by questions to spark dialogue and engender empathetic responses. These anecdotes refer to those who share the author's identity and circumstance as well as those who don't. As with all stories, lessons and messages about culture and patterns are told as a point of caution. What might you do if you were participants in these events? How can you build your emotional intelligence to a desired level for your current museum and personal needs? Finally, there are calls to action at the personal, interpersonal, organizational, and systemic levels. True transformation requires complete reassessment of norms bolstered by a broken society. This book provides strategies for implementing change.
