Publisher's summary

Heal Your Way Forward is a seminal work in antiracism, guiding White and White-identifying folks to utilize activism for intergenerational healing.

In 2018, Myisha T. Hill created the @ckyourprivilege handle on Instagram to undo the harm created between White women and women of the global majority. After years of living in the micro- and macro-aggressions of White culture, Myisha was tired of staying silent. But she wanted to do more than fight back—she wanted to heal forward.

"Myisha T. Hill is a rare educator who comes from a place of compassion and profound emotional insight. She is leading a revolution of mind, heart, and soul, one that she now continues in her highly anticipated book, Heal Your Way Forward. Myisha's work changes how we experience the world by helping us understand our place within it. This book shows anyone interested in human liberation the way to heal, to hope, and to become true advocates and co-conspirators—not just for justice and change, but for the future of who we are as humans." (Anna Paquin, actress and producer)

In just over three short years, Check Your Privilege and Myisha's personal platform have amassed more 750K followers on Instagram and became hubs for interracial activism during the Great White Awakening of 2020. But like many antiracism activists, Myisha saw the activism abate after the election of President Biden.

Heal Your Way Forward: The Co-Conspirator's Guide to an Antiracist Future is the trumpet call to White and White-identifying folks, guiding them to recognize their antiracism work as intergenerational healing. In her first major book, Myisha asks the most critical question of antiracism work: What do we want the world to look like in seven generations?

This book is her answer, but also, it's a tactical, practical guide for learning (and unlearning), heal­ing (and feeling through the hurt), and committing (and recommitting) to real change and a reparative future.

This is the book Myisha's 750,000 followers have been waiting for—a marriage of personal story, antiracist handbook, and an emotional plea to all people to be the change today so we can heal the world for tomorrow.

In this seminal work, Myisha offers listeners the ultimate reason to engage in activism—to create a better world not just for our babies, but for our babies' babies—and a clear strategy to change the future and nature of interracial activism by:

Sustaining the Great White Wakening by discovering the sweet spot of shame and vulnerability

• Making room for White tears
• Developing radical listening and lifelong learning
• Practicing the great act of recommitment
• And building a reparative future

As Myisha shares, the more you fail forward, the more you heal your way forward, and the better we can heal the future together.

Heal Your Way Forward

I started following @ckyourpriviledge on Instagram about a year ago, and I am so glad I did, or I may not have read this book. Myisha takes you on a personal journey of her own awakening to help lead others to dismantle white privilege.

No matter where you are in your anti racism journey, Heal Your Way Forward is a must read and a book I will be purchasing in a hard copy as well!

Significant

This was a spectacular book. Such a significant contribution to learning, unlearning, and relearning privilege and power.

Continued learning

Myisha T Hill shares her personal journey while helping white people understand their place in the movement. She helps you understand how to help without perpetuating harm and gives you the tools to continually look inward. I am grateful for her energy and expertise as I continue on my personal journey.

Great concept, falls flat

I was very excited about this book. I'm still excited about the topic and her story. But this book fell flat for me more than it fired me up. Unfortunately, then narrator also just did not fit the bill for me, personally -- maybe because I had seen and heard the author before I purchased this audiobook, but it felt more like she was reading than narrating. There we're also some mispronunciations, which when you are reading the actual book yourself don't happen or get noticed. Perhaps when life slows down a bit for me and I have more time to actually sit down and read the book myself I may enjoy and appreciate it more.
