About The Beat Must Go On: Reimagining Inclusion for a Divided Era

Nichole Barnes Marshall draws on 25 years of executive leadership at companies including Pinterest, Bath & Body Works, and Aon to deliver a book that is equal parts memoir, manifesto, and management playbook. Using Chicago’s House music culture as an organizing metaphor, she reframes the inclusion conversation for leaders navigating today’s polarized environment. This is not a defensive argument for DEI. It is a forward-looking construction manual for building cultures where everyone belongs and organizations perform at their best. Marshall combines personal narrative, practitioner wisdom, and concrete frameworks—most notably HARMONY and targeted universalism—that leaders can apply immediately. Essential reading for executives, board members, HR leaders, and anyone responsible for organizational culture in a divided era. Learn more here.
