'Filled with illuminating case studies and actionable advice, The Necessary Journey is the only roadmap you'll need for creating an inclusive workplace - no matter where you and your organization are in your journey.'

'I love Washington's challenge to us, which is to take on the issues of DEI ourselves in our own organizations and get on the journey rather than wait on the mandates. Laws can't change feelings, but leaders can. If all of us just got on the journey - starting today - this ugly scourge of a problem could be easily fixed. This book outlines the hard climb to the top - but one you can do - and Ella Washington is your Sherpa.'
