Publisher's Summary
White supremacy is a violent system of oppression that harms Black, Indigenous and People of Colour, and if you are a person who holds white privilege, then you are complicit in upholding that harm, whether you realise it or not. And if you are person who holds white privilege, the question you should be asking isn't whether or not this is true, but rather, what are you going to do about it?
Between June and July 2018, Layla Saad ran a 28-day Instagram challenge under the hashtag #MeAndWhiteSupremacy, for people with white privilege to unflinchingly examine the ways that they are complicit in upholding the oppressive system of white supremacy.
The challenge quickly went viral, with thousands of people from all over the world (including USA, Canada, UK, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Russia, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Qatar, among others) diving deep for 28 consecutive days to examine and take responsibility for the ways in which they uphold white supremacy.
The challenge catalysed a worldwide awakening for thousands of white-privileged people to begin to take ownership of their personal antiracism work.
The updated and expanded Me and White Supremacy takes the work deeper by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions, examples, and and further resources. Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. The numbers show that listeners are ready to do this work - let's give it to them.
This workbook was born out of that challenge and the results have been life-changing.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Something that every single white person needs
This book was recommended by many people and I am so glad that I downloaded it on Audible. I have learnt so much and am now so much more aware of white privileges that I have benefited from.

Well worth the emotional work
Layla does not let you off the hook. She succinctly calls the out the poor behaviour of white people like me. The most powerful take away from the book was the fact that my parents never had to sit me down and educate me about my whiteness. Thank you Layla for letting me into your world.

A difficult, but very necessary read
An invaluable resource for anyone wanting to commit to anti-racism. Confronting, but worthwhile - having the daily journaling exercises kept me focussed, but also obliged me to really think deeply about my own ideas, assumptions and behaviours.

Extraordinary.
This book is, I believe, worthy of being mandatory reading for anyone who like me is a beneficiary of white supremacy and uses a framework I intend to visit at least once a year moving forward to keep myself in check and out of apathy & laziness on this crucial topic that is a historical boiling point for so many very good reasons. Significant. 👍🏼👍🏼 #highlyrecommended

So Important
An incredibly moving and difficult experience that will help you (a person with white privilege) to understand white supremacy within institutions and society. To understand white supremacy and your role within it, conscious or not, is the first step to truely combatting racism. This book is so important and a must read for those who want to fight for love and justice.
