The book needs to be laid out better. I had to put it down many times because the layout made it repetitive. Maybe sort the folks by what they are known for—like photographers and have an introductory section to break it up
Now for my biggest issue with the book. The book starts with diversity as a big thing and that this book is going to correct those wrongs. But just like everything else that makes a big deal of it, the book is not only not diverse, but goes out of its way to be highly discriminatory. This goes to the saying “what is the first indication that a company is not diverse? They have an executive position of chief diversity officer”
Nice list of people
