Whites: On Race and Other Falsehoods by Otegha Uwagba
RTC
After seeing some good reviews of this I decided that I should pick it up. I have also read The Little Black Book from Otegha Uwagba and while I didn't think that book was meant for me professional speaking, I wanted to read more from her. I think with the events that happened last with George Floyd especially, it was a way for white people to take accountability for their actions. I did it and a lot of people did and it is something that I tried to keep up with but I know that I have slipped up over time and continue to read books make me continue to learn. This is something that Otegha mentions throughout and one of the ways that impacted me the most was her own experiences around the time and how racism can manifest itself in many different ways. I think this is a worthy read for anyone and I do want to read her new book in the future.
