Obviously, I’m Not from Here: Embodying a Sense of Belonging with the Help of Horses is essential reading for anyone involved in working with horses and humans. It offers a process-oriented, embodied, and relational approach to navigating the complexities of understanding the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Through honest and personal examples, Dr. Lac outlines the impact of not attending to cultural competencies rooted in cultural humility when working with marginalized populations, and how cultivating an attitude of cultural humility and reflection can help to increase our capacity to engage in crucial conversations. Dr. Lac encourages readers to adopt a BRAVER framework and creates an active reflective experience throughout the book. Drawing on her experiences with horses, Dr. Lac invites readers to consider how the power and oppression humans hold over horses is in direct parallel with how we treat other humans. This volume also showcases the work of The HERD Institute(R) through chapter contributions from HERD instructors, graduates, and students, illustrating how horses can help us all find a sense of belonging.
