Why is This Wrong?

Why Is This Wrong? by Enoch Adeyemi and Folashade Adeyemi is a powerful guide to navigating conversations with empathy and awareness. The book explores common but often harmful questions or statements that people encounter in professional and social settings — the kind that leave you cringing or unsure of how to respond.

Through clear explanations, the authors break down why these phrases are problematic and offer thoughtful alternatives to help readers communicate with respect and understanding.

This book is a must-read for anyone committed to fostering inclusion, building stronger connections, and improving workplace culture. Whether you’re striving to become a better ally or simply want to avoid unintentional missteps, Why Is This Wrong? provides practical insights to help you engage more meaningfully in today’s diverse world.

Reviews

“I immediately went to the section that deals with harmful phrases to women and chuckled as I could relate to so many. Then I went through other harmful phrases and found that I am guilty of some of these and am glad the book suggested more appropriate phrases to use.” – Gemma

“Enoch and Sade have done a brilliant job of breaking down those difficult conversations into easy and relatable topics. The book delves into the sensitivity around those statements which are easily overlooked and the impact on people across different races. Well-done!”– Taofeek

“Well, this is for everyone of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. Sometimes, we accept what we know deep down is wrong simply because it has been normalised by society. Without giving much away, this book is a reminder to own your narrative and identity. You’ll thank me later.”Stephen

“It looks like a great toolkit for anyone (or any team) to use to educate themselves, or as conversation starters, about what not to say – and importantly why not. But also there’s a focus on what might be an alternative thing to say – if there is one.”Louise

“Overall, “Why Is This Wrong?” is a valuable contribution to the field of moral philosophy. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of ethics and live a more principled life.” Shade
