Some books capture a moment. Black Fatigue captured a shift.

First published in 2020, it helped bring language to the exhaustion, burnout, and emotional weight Black people carry in conversations about race, workplace culture, and belonging.

Now, six years later, the second edition arrives with 50% expanded reflection, new insight, and continued urgency.

Coauthored by Mary-Frances Winters and Mareisha Winters Reese, this updated edition brings together lived experience, research, and ongoing dialogue about how this work continues to evolve.

It also carries forward a powerful dedication.

Because this conversation has never been only academic.

It has always been human.

Black Fatigue (2nd edition) releases June 23. Preorder now from your favorite Black-owned bookstore or preferred retailer: https://hubs.ly/Q04hYD6r0

Every time someone says “DEI is dead”…

…someone else is still navigating bias, exclusion, conflict, fear, silence, or harm at work.

The conversations are still happening.

The question is not whether this work exists anymore.

The question is whether people feel prepared for the moments that continue showing up every day in meetings, feedback conversations, hiring discussions, leadership decisions, and team dynamics.

That’s the gap the Bold, Inclusive Conversations® Certification Program was built to address.

Because awareness alone does not prepare people for real-time conversations.

Practice does.

Join us June 22, 23 & 25. Registration closes Friday. ⏰

Juneteenth and Pride are more than moments on a calendar. They’re invitations to reflect, tell the truth, honor resistance, and imagine what belonging can really look like.

Explore some of our top posts on https://hubs.la/Q04jrbRf0. If you’re looking for thoughtful perspectives, honest conversations, and deeper context behind this moment, start here.

Most people do not need more information about workplace communication, conflict, or inclusion.

The harder part is knowing what to do in the moment.

When someone says something awkward.
When conflict surfaces.
When feedback gets tense.
When silence fills the room.

That’s where many people freeze — not because they do not care, but because they have never had the opportunity to practice.

The Bold, Inclusive Conversations® Certification Program was designed for exactly these moments: https://hubs.la/Q04hYjXk0

A live, interactive experience focused on building the skills and confidence to navigate high-stakes conversations in real time.

Most workplace tension doesn’t start in big moments. It starts in the small ones.

The comment in a meeting that gets ignored.

The idea that gets repeated by someone else and suddenly gets attention.

The awkward moment everyone notices... but no one names.

The feedback conversation that gets softened until it means nothing.

The disagreement that gets avoided instead of addressed.

None of these moments feel “formal.” But that’s usually where things break down.

Not because people don’t care.

Because they haven’t had space to practice what to do next.

These are the kinds of moments we talk about—and practice for—in our Bold, Inclusive Conversations® Certification Program. Join the 500+ graduates who have benefited from this model and learn directly from Mary-Frances Winters herself this June 22, 23, and 25. (Registration closes June 12!)

This award-winning, highly interactive, skill-building certification program provides facilitators with the content, tools, and competencies necessary to strengthen their organization’s capacity to engage in Bold, Inclusive Conversations®.

Most leaders are expected to facilitate difficult conversations without ever being taught how. So people improvise.

Sometimes with good intentions. Sometimes with urgency. Sometimes with fear of saying the wrong thing.

But high-stakes conversations require more than good intentions. They require readiness, preparation, and a framework.

That distinction is central to Mary-Frances Winters’ approach to Bold, Inclusive Conversations® — and exactly what participants learn in our award-winning Facilitator Certification Program.

This fully virtual certification experience equips leaders with practical tools for navigating workplace conversations with greater confidence, clarity, and care.

And this year, Mary-Frances Winters is returning as a special guest facilitator, giving participants the opportunity to learn directly from the creator of the framework and a leader with more than 40 years of experience helping organizations navigate conversations across difference.
