Me and White Supremacy

Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor

By: Layla F. Saad

Narrated by: Layla F. Saad

Length: 5 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's summary

Based off the original workbook, Me and White Supremacy teaches listeners how to dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too.

When Layla Saad began an Instagram challenge called #meandwhitesupremacy, she never predicted it would spread as widely as it did. She encouraged people to own up and share their racist behaviors, big and small. She was looking for truth, and she got it. Thousands of people participated in the challenge, and over 90,000 people downloaded the Me and White Supremacy Workbook.

The updated and expanded Me and White Supremacy takes the work deeper by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions, examples, and further resources.

Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. The numbers show that people are ready to do this work - let’s give it to them.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A MUST listen for blacks and whites alike!

Wow! Listening as a black male I learned so much through this book! Thank You!

A must read

This will be a book I do over and over again as I educate myself.

A requirement for all white people

This book, which is more of a workbook than a book to simply consume, turned my world upside down. I have always thought of myself as compassionate, “not racist,” one of the “good ones.” Through this workbook I learned the depth to which I have not only been complicit in racism but actively harmful. It has provided me an absolutely imperative reference to what I need to change in myself in order to change society and work towards antiracism and dismantling white supremacy (a term I did not begin to understand the scope and weight of until listening to this book).

It's time to do the work!

You'll learn more about yourself through this work than you'd think. Do the work and the journaling prompts. You'll get so much more from it if you do! Its time for us to all be better ancestors.

Lots of information I wish I didn't need.

This is a good review of life reminding me of the jobs ahead for a person like me.

Highly recommend!

Ms. Saad is an amazing writer who somehow pushes you out of your comfort zone while returning your sight to actual reality. Once you see your white privilege and own your part in racism you can never unsee it. It is everywhere. This book was step one in the process of making a change. I hope others will follow along and do the work. The work isn’t easy, but it is so worth it!

Uncomfortable and necessary!

The topic is uncomfortable as are the personal realizations, and that's exactly what we need!

Everyone NEEDS to Listen to this!!!

If we want to make the world we need to start with ourselves. You will become a better alley through doing this work and learn more about how to combat racism. You can’t avoid this, so might as well do it.

Highly Recommended!

My husband and I listened to this audio book together and “did the work” for each of the 28 days. It took lots of time and self-reflection. It wasn’t easy. We learned so much and are committed to continuing to learn by listening to BIPOC voices. The reader of the audible version did an excellent job.

Excellent guide to dismantling White Supremacy

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I learned much and will continue work to "call out" and "call in" the damaging work of white supremacy.
