Dear White Women:
Let’s Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism
“What can I do to help?”
This is a question that many seemingly well-intentioned white people ask people of color.
Yet, it places the responsibility to educate on their peers, friends, colleagues, and even strangers, rather than themselves. If you've ever asked or been asked "What can I do to help combat racism?" then Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism is the answer you're looking for.
Sara Blanchard and Misasha Suzuki Graham break down the psychology and barriers to meaningful race discussions for white people, contextualizing racism throughout American history in short, targeted chapters.
