In 2021, Mel Gravely wrote a book, Dear White Friend, that was aimed primarily at fellow business owners. In the book, Mel tried to make it easier for owners to have genuine conversations about race. He suggested strategies for those, perhaps motivated by the murders of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, who might want to engage. He acknowledged that emphasizing diversity can be hard work. He acknowledged that some of his own efforts had failed. But he also pointed out that he himself had been, in his words, “an affirmative action baby” and that that investment had paid off for his college, his previous employers, and the city of Cincinnati. It’s been less than four years since Mel published Dear White Friend, but of course that was a very different time. This week, he talks about the backlash that has ensued and the strategies he still believes can work for those who don’t consider diversity a dirty word.
