Me and White Supremacy: How to Recognise Your Privilege, Combat Racism and Change the World by Layla F. Saad
4.0
I found the guided journaling a really good exercise. The questions were written so that people anywhere on their anti-racism journey could engage and do some self reflection.
As Layla recommended I think I would have got a lot more from this process in a book club or discussion group (alas my book club collapsed and I wanted to put the effort into finishing this book anyway).
Feels like a powerful tool to come back to in the future or after making a mistake and being able to go to the relevant chapter to reflect and continue to grow.
I think that a lot of the chapters questions were so focused on “a time you did something wrong” I realised I had to structure it for myself to also have more looking forward from those moments, eg how would I ideally have been in that situation now? How do I aim to react moving forward?
