I liked this, but it was a little too much Christianity for me.  I don't think it was meant to make me think that Christianity in the US is too far gone and too far into whiteness to be salvaged, but it did. But Ms. Brown seems like she's doing great work, and I'm very happy for her. I think it might be particularly helpful for folks who might be committing microaggressions in the workplace and not realize.

This is a book about Austins life and about being a black woman in America. This is not a guide for white people on how to be about a better ally or anti-racist but if you read it you can get ideas about how to be a better ally and anti-racist. I really enjoyed learning about her life and what she has gone through. It made me think about myself and actions I may have done unintentionally. This does look at Christian people and race which I thought was interesting because I feel like that’s not normally talked about and it was like a big focus in this.
