Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor by Layla F. Saad

I really like the way the book was broken down into segments of learning.
I thought Layla presented the information in really clear way, that almost felt like they were sat in front of me holding a conversation, which had me nodding along and murmuring in agreement throughout the book, which I don’t often find myself doing while reading.
I appreciated the manual and emotional labour that went into writing this.
The work was a pleasure to go through, exposing gaps in my knowledge that I didn’t know I needed and challenging my own memories of past events.
I particularly enjoyed “silence is violence” and discussion of wanting to be a good ancestor. I found this concept to be especially relatable.
I would, and will be, recommending this to everyone that needs to read this.
