“A clear, powerful, direct, wise, and extremely helpful treatise on how to combat and heal from the ubiquitous violence of white supremacy” (Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times best-selling author) from thought leader, racial justice educator, and acclaimed spiritual activist Rachel Ricketts.
Do Better is a revolutionary offering that addresses racial justice from a comprehensive, intersectional, and spirit-based perspective. This actionable guidebook illustrates how to engage in the heart-centered and mindfulness-based practices that will help us all fight white supremacy from the inside out, in our personal lives and communities alike. It is a loving and assertive call to do the deep - and often uncomfortable - inner work that precipitates much-needed external and global change.
Filled with carefully curated soulcare activities - such as guided meditations and transformative breathwork - “Do Better answers prayers that many have prayed. Do Better offers a bold possibility for change and healing. Do Better offers a deeply sacred choice that we must all make at such a time as this” (Iyanla Vanzant, New York Times best-selling author).

Disagree:
1. Author believes "all white people" are inherently racist because they benefit from a white supremacists system within their Nation and globally. while true white people will not suffer institutional racism because of their whiteness that does not make them racist.
2. Author believes "whiteness" is inherently racist. No white people are not racist simply for being white. this is not some genetic racial birthright. this is a result of colonialism. it is a system and a mentality.
3. We also gives hints that she believes in racial trauma epigenetics. she shows study of mice who were burned with fire. and the mice's children and grandchildren had a more extreme adverse reaction to fire. therefore she believes that like trauma can be passed on genetically for my black and indigenous woman plus marginalized groups to suffer more. she then believes the generations of white people whose ancestors and grandparents were racist pass on a more callous racist attitude. This is WRONG. We are humans not animals. Hate is choice. White people do not inherit hate
Agree.
1. Historical and going systemic and institutionalize racism is real. It's it's a global thing. unless it requires that white people who are unintentional benefactors of this ongoing systemic racism should wake up to it. and listen to marginalize black and indigenous women on how they can help. not just with empty words and virtue signal but with real tangible actions.
2. Medical racism is real. yes historically and still till today many medical books sadly teach that black and indigenous people can endure more pain. even if some medical universities have stopped this teaching the belief still lingers. black and indigenous people especially women and fems are often undercarried and die as a result of it far more than any other ethnic or racial group. yes tangible action needs to happen. in any white person within the medical industry with power and influence needs to address this with action.
3. Global white patriarchy and capitalism needs to be dismantled. it is good for white allies to wake up for this and use their power and privilege to take down the system that hurts black and indigenous people especially women so much.
4. Spiritual practices of black, Asian Southeast Asian and indigenous people are not commodities. it should not be whitewashed and then sold as a product. instead it has to be holistically understood with its cultural roots as a sacred practice.
Deeply Teaches how to Address Racism Within BUT the Author is some issues herself.

This book has amazing content and truth bombs! However, if you have not yet read introductory racism pieces or books educating you on the public policy that has created such strong racism in America, then you are not ready for this book. It is at times very tough to listen to because of holding the self accountable. If this is your first racism read, save it to put it on a shelf then read or listen to it again after some other researching reads.
I recommended reading prior to this book:
The Third Option
Stamped From the Beginning
10th Anniversary Edition of the New Jim Crow
This CANNOT be your first read about racism!

This book will make you angry. This book will make you cry. This book will make you really get to the root of your internalized racism and start to break it down. However, Rachel does not do the work for you - you have to come with a humbled heart, open mind, and desire to be actively anti-racist. As she has said multiple times, "we're so glad you're here, but you're late so it's time to get to work." Leave your white guilt at the door and get schooled.
After you've checked out Do Better, her website has a lot of other really incredible resources - from spirituality to BIPOC/womxn-centered resources.
Not for the faint of heart, an absolute must read

Her story is just ONE of the many lives negatively effected by the misogynistic, inequitable system that is white supremacy. An absolute MUST read. LETS DO WORK!
