This is a wonderful collection of conversations from ethnically diverse contributors using the art form of writing to promote inclusion and as an antidote to structural racism. Thanks to these contributing authors whose conversations allow us to understand the experience of people who have a bias against them. This collection of conversations offers some ideas and strategies. What is the next step?

“Finding A Better Way promotes racial reconciliation that is so important in the midst of the upsurge of racist attacks on Asian Americans. As an American of pan-Pacific Island descent, I recommend this book!”
—Michael Taesali, contributing author of The Commission
“In a world of racism and injustice, there are some who will speak up to defend, enlighten, and encourage others. In the case of Finding a Better Way, Jeanne DeFazio takes on a challenge. One that can bring criticism and opposition to her life. Some women stand up for what is right without concern of any backlash. Ms. DeFazio is one of these women. She shares her personal stories along with others’ stories to bring these concerns to light and expose them for the betterment of humankind.”
—Connie Engel, author of The Progressive Church: A dangerous Movement Has Begun
“Finding A Better Way shines the light of Jesus on the darkness of racial injustice. As an African American Christian leader, I endorse this book!”
—Yvonnette O’Neal, founder of Ambassadors Network Ministries
