Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Life at Camp tells the story of a National Guard Equal Opportunity and Diversity Manager who, overtime, recognized a pattern of military culture-androcentrism-and spent the later part of her 36-year military career challenging the bias that impedes gender equality, strategic objectives, and response programs. This is not another memoir of a personal account, instead it is the story told by the collector of painful humiliations. It describes the broken process that fails to hold violators accountable for sex-based discrimination in a way that will support cultural change, thus allowing the spectrum of harm to pave the way for more violent sex-based attacks. The author highlights her personal journey discovering her purpose as she transforms out of her addictions and into a life of activism. Any young person embarking on life's journey cannot know the obstacles they will face. Biases play into decision making and in the responses to those things we feel powerless to change. As you read the detailed journey of Chief Warrant Officer Sumner, you will understand the layers of grit, resilience and trust a person must build in order to accept the things one cannot change, change the things they can, and the wisdom to be at peace knowing the difference.
