This book challenged me to check my own biases, even though I’m not white. It’s got to be exhausting to be antiracist 24x7, though I imagine it gets easier with practice. That said, I really appreciate that she and others go out of their ways to understand it’s more exhausting to be BIPoC on top of being a woman on top of being an immigrant on top of having to be socially mobile on top of being disabled on top of being LGBTQ (yes, I am all those identities). It was a relief to know people like this author exist and are actively working everyday to eradicate racism and to make the US a more equitable and egalitarian society, especially in today’s hyper hateful political environment.

I really got a lot out of ‘White Fragility’ by Robin DiAngelo, so I was very excited for this one.
Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations in terms of what I was looking for. It felt repetitive of the content in the previous book and I felt like I was going through the same things over and over. Furthermore, I am aware that even though DiAngelo says herself that we must remember to invest in BIPOC’s work and learn from them (if they have space for us), we are taking from her (a white woman).
I’m giving this a 3 out of 5 stars. Thank you ✨
