Heal Your Way Forward: The Co-Conspirator's Guide to an Antiracist Future by Myisha T. Hill
5.0
This was so good! It was a refreshing guide towards antiracism within the white community that acknowledged the various difficulties one may face on the journey to true allyship. Hill definitely held folks accountable to what should be an ongoing practice rather than a few performative actions marked off a check list.
One thing that stuck out for me personally was the negative impact of over-consumption of materiel and how that can lead to inaction. With there being such easy access to books, podcasts and media in general, it is easy to become overwhelmed and ghost the cause. Instead, Hill urges us to slow down and sit with the tough topics in order to better understand and take action consistently. She also discussed taking the time to mourn these parts of our history and present injustice, which is something I haven't seen talked about in my readings, As our understanding grows, there is often tangible loss as well, wether it be loss of friends, family, or a general disillusionment of our country and the systems it was built on. I also loved the simple guide to taking action and delving into what commitment means to each of us. A big thanks to the publisher and Netgally for this advanced audiobook! I highly reccomend and loved the narrator as well!
