Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor by Layla F. Saad
challenging

4.0
This is an excellent book that I think every white person should read.
I believe that I'm self-aware; I'm an intersectional feminist, but there is always room for improvement to be a better ally to BIPOC. I thought about posting some powerful quotes from this book, but based on what I knew before reading this, and an idea that was reinforced with this book, when it comes to racism and systems of oppression, white people should not be leading the conversation, we need to be listening, we need to truly listen to understand how we can be better allies for people of color. So, I'd highly recommend reading this and really diving in deep. It will be uncomfortable, there's no prize at the end, no cookie, it's just the right thing to do.
