It’s a fact that racial divisions are growing in America, with more than 59% of Black Americans expressing a lack of hope that racial relations can ever improve.
There are plenty of reasons to complain about this and more than enough blame to go around, but while those things are easier, they in no way solve the problem.
Path To Publishing and PTP Press are devoted to cultivating bold LEADERS who have the skills, knowledge, and courage it takes to tackle challenges like this head on — not by fighting with their fists but by engaging in the difficult conversations that open the door to lasting change.
Inspired by the way that our team’s relationships changed for the better as we confronted one another about our own internal biases and beliefs while discussing Nikki T. Anthony’s book, The Price We Pay, we knew we had in our hands the kind of book that could spark a movement and begin bridging the gaps between the races.
Respectful conversations like this are not easy to have. It takes the right kind of leadership and guidance, along with the support of a community of like-minded individuals, to succeed in producing authentic, lasting change. Without those, the conversations can break down into accusations and anger, leaving both sides feeling defensive and misunderstood, which ends up causing divisions to grow worse, not better.
That’s why we’re making sure that contributors to our crowdfunding campaign will be given access to specialized Magnetic Thought Leadership Training along with study guides to facilitate inter-racial conversations about sensitive topics, leveraging the book as the starting point. They will also be invited to join the growing LEADERS community we’re building of people committed to helping change the conversation for the better.
