Don't expect this to be a list that one checks off in order to arrive at wokeness. Though Saad guides you through recognizing your white privilege, you are expected to do the work. Oh, and what difficult work this is!!
The book is set up as a 28 day challenge in which you are expected to reflect on the topic being discussed. Be ready to confront your beliefs and actions and be ready for it not to be easy. Think that we are in a post racial world and you are a great ally? I challenge you to pick up this book and see how far you actually have to go. **Spoiler alert** your work will never be done.
Saad does a fantastic job of guiding the reader through such topics as: tone policing, white privilege, and white silence. But don't be fooled, though Layla Saad is the guide, YOU are expected to do the work. This book is a great starting point to dismantling white supremacy.
