Publisher's Summary
“Charming and disarming, a story like this heals the divides that threaten to destroy America. Don’t Label Me speaks for all of us who are more than the boxes that others put us into.” (Marianne Williamson, New York Times best-selling author)
A unique conversation about diversity, bigotry, and our common humanity, by the New York Times best-selling author, Oprah “Chutzpah” award-winner, and founder of the Moral Courage Project
In these United States, discord has hit emergency levels. Civility isn't the reason to repair our caustic chasms. Diversity is.
Don't Label Me shows that America's founding genius is diversity of thought. Which is why social justice activists won't win by labeling those who disagree with them. At a time when minorities are fast becoming the majority, a truly new America requires a new way to tribe out.
Enter Irshad Manji and her dog, Lily. Raised to believe that dogs are evil, Manji overcame her fear of the "other" to adopt Lily. She got more than she bargained for. Defying her labels as an old, blind dog, Lily engages Manji in a taboo-busting conversation about identity, power, and politics. They're feisty. They're funny. And in working through their challenges to one another, they reveal how to open the hearts of opponents for the sake of enduring progress. Listeners who crave concrete tips will be delighted.
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 US, and a professor of moral courage, Don't Label Me makes diversity great again.

Inclusivity advocates must read this!
Irshad's perspective articulates so many things I have felt but never quite knew how to say. She is BRAVE, eloquent, self-reflective, and honest throughout. Most importantly, I feel shifts in my own thinking as I absorbed her perspectives. By the end my heart was full of love for Irshad and what an absolute gift she is to us all.

A message we all need
While I found the dog conversations a little silly, the importance of her message is well worth the listen. Advocating for real honest diversity.

I'm a big fan!
Love Irshad Manji's discerning mind and caring heart. The dialogue with her beloved dog Lilly made this extra sweet. The timing of reading this book was perfect for me. These concepts and skills apply to real things in our lives.

I ❤ Irshad
this should be mandatory reading for kids before being given access to social media, and certainly a read for 1st year university students.
