\nJudging by the Cover Bookstore Book Signing with Shari Dunn
\n
\nWe&rsquo\;re thrilled to invite you to a very special event at \;Judging By The Cover \;in San Dimas. On \;Saturday\, July 5th from 1:00 to 2:00 PM\, we&rsquo\;re hosting \;Shari Dunn\, the powerhouse author behind the new release \;Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work \;(HarperCollins\, 2025).
\n\n

\n\n
This isn&rsquo\;t just a book signing&mdash\;it&rsquo\;s a conversation starter. \;Qualified \;unpacks how &ldquo\;being qualified&rdquo\; is often coded language in our workplaces. It&rsquo\;s about how race\, power\, and professionalism intersect in hiring\, leadership\, and everyday culture. Shari brings this to life with sharp insight and a systems-level perspective shaped by her background as a nonprofit CEO\, attorney\, and award-winning journalist.
\n\n
\;
\n\n
If you'\;re a small business owner\, manager\, HR lead\, or just someone who'\;s ever questioned what &ldquo\;qualified&rdquo\; really means&mdash\;you&rsquo\;ll find yourself in this story. It&rsquo\;s smart\, practical\, and unflinchingly real.
\n\n
\;
\n\n
We&rsquo\;re offering \;20 copies of the book available to preorder and reserve \;ahead of time for in-store signing. A limited number of additional copies will be available at the event\, while supplies last. If we sell out\, no worries&mdash\;Qualified \;is also available online through Bookshop.org (for print and e-book) or Libro.fm (for audiobook fans). You can also order it for pickup at our shop.

\n\n
So mark your calendar\, grab a friend\, and come meet Shari. It&rsquo\;s going to be a meaningful hour centered on a powerful book\, real conversation\, and the kind of connection that only happens in person.
