Do Better: Spiritual Activism for Fighting and Healing From White Supremacy by Rachel Ricketts
domeniqueh's review against another edition
5.0
This book has giving me so much. Appreciate how Rachel really held the space for all identities, acknowledged her short-comings, supported the reader's growth, and validated me in how I honor and will continue to honor my boundaries, gave me more tools to challenge white supremacy in real time, and so much more.
Just all around grateful. This will be a book I revisit often.

Fucking incredible. Light a fire under your ass and read this. Also, note that the language used here is reflective of the text. You'll be okay.

I highly highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone, but especially fellow white women. Rachel Ricketts does an incredible job using spirituality as a tool in dismantling white supremacy while giving you education and concrete steps towards action. I’ve learned so much from this book and feel that it gave me more tools to keep learning. Most importantly, this book requires me to face some hard truths about myself and others. It was uncomfortable and not fun. And it was necessary.
(I do not rate nonfiction books as I feel it’s not right to rate someone’s perception of their own experience.) (that being said, this would be 5 stars!)

I really loved her spiritual exercises, this book breaks down everything you need to know about different forms of oppression and how you can do better.

A discussion that needs to be had by everyone if we hope to understand each other and build a better future together. The exercises at the end of each chapter help with processing the content. I appreciate the author's perspective and she does a good job articulating and addressing tough topics.

Thought-provoking book on racial justice and how we white folks can better engage in the spiritual and activist work needed to address racism. It's a book I will return to on both of those levels.
Interesting that my Beloved Conversations group felt it was too negative/blaming toward white women. Not sure what that says about me -- do I want to wallow in guilt?? I'll reread it at some point and see...

A must read for anyone looking to further commit themselves to racial justice. Rachel provides tough, real, and loving perspective on how to approach spiritual activism and calls to action on how we can use our individual privileges to dismantle systems of oppression that harm us all. to The call outs for white (and white passing) women were especially
