Penick-Parks, PhD

Testimonials

“The Diversity Consultant Cookbook is a welcome addition to the field. The authors have managed to gather a wide range of perspectives that give any practitioner a head start in identifying critical distinctions of diversity and finding ways to address them. The work is substantive and has wide breadth at the same time. This book will make a difference…I recommend it highly!”
