What really drives workplace equity and inclusion - beyond strategies and systems?
The truth is, all historically excluded persons who have broken through to greater levels of professional belonging and achievement have succeeded not by policy and systems change alone, but because of leaders who chose to remove barriers, open doors, and guide them toward their goals. The bottom line? Someone made a way for them.
Using case studies, data, and candid storytelling, Tara Jaye Frank outlines how leaders with power and position can clear the path to workplace equity by:
- Discovering where you are on your equity journey today
- Embracing the steps required to achieve true equity
- Understanding what your employees really want from you
- Developing a lens for the big barriers and intervention opportunities
- Connecting the dots between meeting talent needs and unlocking company value
- Recognizing when Waymaking matters most
- Showing up - every day - as a leader who makes a way
The Waymakers not only makes a compelling case for change. It also teaches you how to facilitate that change. Once you’ve listened to it, you’ll understand why the question is not “what” drives equity and inclusion, but “who”.
And the answer is you.

In Waymakers, Tara Jaye Frank eloquently and gently provides some hard truths and perspectives many white people have not considered before. In many cases, many white people, especially white men, haven’t considered how the nuances of their daily interactions, workplace culture, and institutionalized industry standards effect personal lives and even organizational health. But if you’re in that category and you’re reading this review, know that if you don’t get this book and you continue to remain ignorant, willful ignorance of workplace inequities is your choice.
Tara Jaye Frank expertly interweaves logic, data, and storytelling to hit the desires of a wide audience, drawing on her experience as a Hallmark executive, her coaching, and DEI research. She makes a case for the “why” and also presents the “how” in multiple ways. She uses scripture, as her personal faith helps direct her in life, but the references are few and are relevant to all people as empowering instances of poetry.
And to be fair, her recommendations can make you a better manager of people and coworker, in general. This is good Professional Development and touches on issues that also directly affect white people.
The audiobook is done as well as can be, narrated by the author, whose voice is clear, strong, and pleasant. But I would recommend a hard copy you can make notes in, chomp on a little at a time, and reference quickly. And I’m certain the visual order of the guide would help stick in the brain better. But the audiobook for backup may be a good idea too.
I also recommend following Tara Jaye Frank on LinkedIn for continued insight. I actually started following her after hearing her on Clubhouse.
