Anyone with even the slightest insight knows that few women of color are among the leaders in the most developed countries. There is no consensus on why, but anyone thirsty for justice knows this problem must be addressed. Becoming Change Makers by Dr. Dominica McBride is a non-fiction book that tells the story of several women of color, what they went through in life, what they did to change society, and so on. Therefore, the book is a guide that can inspire people and motivate change.

There are several fascinating aspects to this work. I particularly liked the insights into human psychology that the author provides on several pages. Prejudice, micro-aggressions, and implicit segregation can have long-term effects on children and young people, and the author addresses this brilliantly, especially because she is a professional in the field of psychology. Anyway, I liked most the variety of profiles of women of color and the breadth and depth of the"activism" they do. Each chapter of the book addresses a different woman, which makes the work much more exciting and complex.

On the downside, some problems draw attention. In some specific chapters, it seemed that the author did not address in depth the prejudice suffered by women. Some even seemed "privileged" in my eyes compared to their counterparts in less developed countries. I'm sure hearing the "n-word" can be a terrible thing and make a person feel segregated, but is this the most significant episode of prejudice they have suffered in their lives? The author failed to develop these episodes in at least three different chapters.

Overall, Becoming Change Makers is captivating, poignant, and touching. It's a book that can touch the hearts of thousands of women who want to fight for a more just and inclusive world. The book is professionally edited and does not contain a single grammatical error. Anyway, I thought the author failed to describe the episodes of racism suffered by some of the women covered in the book. For this reason, I cannot give it the maximum rating: I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to men and women who are interested in social justice. Indeed, although the book is about women's lives, there is no reason why men cannot feel inspired by these changemakers. Many could even be interested in the project and help finance the BECOME Community. The reader may encounter several profane words (more or less severe), so I do not recommend this work to anyone under 18.

I wish to see society as a whole become much more un segregated. The unfortunate truth, though, is that portions of society that exist as they always have will tend to become less and less diverse as their cultural stereotypes are passed down through the generations. Thanks!

I always like books that discuss leadership, especially those that address women's involvement. In today's era, the urgency for gender equality is growing. Reading your review makes me even more eager to read this book. Thank you for writing this. What a great review.

Joao, you reviewed an important book. We all have had at least one of the following: mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and wives. They were and are very important to our survival. So why shouldn't they be leaders whether they are colored or not?? Men must support this quest for change. Your review has me intrigued and I want to read this book. We must be aware of and do our part to eradicate systemic racism. Great review!
