Full disclosure, I’ve had the privilege of a ringside seat to some of this and am privileged to be named in the acknowledgments… However, this is the most important book I’ve read this year- combining Kate’s open and honest telling of her personal story, a recent history of the disability movement in the UK with pure gold hints and tips for disability networks, allies and everyone who wants to maximise the impact of disabled staff on the organisation they work in (or should work in).
It will make you think, make you laugh and stare into the middle distance in contemplation.
As well as on here, I’ll be recommending to my senior champion, network Exec and allies (my purple friendly people) it’s that important!
Thank you Kate we all loved you before, we now owe you as well for making our jobs another notch easier!

Thank you to NetGalley, Kate Nash and Korgan Page LTD for allowing me to read this advanced copy.
This was a good, informative book. Would be best for employers, especially small businesses to read. Good ideas and resources. Was UK based and I am US based, so some agency differences but overall same message for the Purple community of disabilities.

Many thanks to Kogan Page for gifting me a proof copy of this book. A must-read for any disabled person in employment or looking to enter employment, as well as for managers and business leaders. A love letter to the importance of telling your own story and how much can be achieved by working together. A book packed with powerful statements and actionable advice, Positively Purple is truly life-changing
