Jill Louise Busby
An intimate, impertinent, and incisive collection about race, progress, and hypocrisy from Jill Louise Busby, a.k.a. Jillisblack.
Jill Louise Busby spent years in the nonprofit sector specializing in diversity and inclusion. She spoke at academic institutions, businesses, and detention centers on the topics of race, power, and privilege and delivered over 200 workshops to nonprofit organizations all over the California Bay Area.
In 2016, fed up with what passed as progressive in the Pacific Northwest, Busby uploaded a one-minute video about race, white institutions, and faux liberalism to Instagram. The video received millions of views across social platforms. As her pithy persona Jillisblack became an "it voice" weighing in on all things race-based, Jill began to notice parallels between her performance of "diversity" in the white corporate world and her performance of "wokeness" for her followers. Both, she realized, were scripted.
Unfollow Me is a memoir-in-essays about these scripts; it's about tokenism, micro-fame, and inhabiting spaces - real and virtual, Black and White - where complicity is the price of entry. Busby's social commentary manages to be both wryly funny and achingly open-hearted as she recounts her shape-shifting moves among the subtle hierarchies of progressive communities. Unfollow Me is a sharply personal and self-questioning critique of white fragility (and other words for racism), respectability politics (and other words for shame), and all the places where fear masquerades as progress.

I think this should be a required text for influencers everywhere and for Black people stationed in predominantly white spaces. I’m certain that some personality types will eventually find this book and will proceed to do what the internet does best. But others, if honest, will find a piece of their own alter ego lurking in every monologue.
I recommend this book to anyone who finds themselves in the throes of fame, to anyone dealing with the muted failures of a resounding success story, to anyone who loves their mother and needs to be reminded of it, to anyone who is heading out on their path unsure of what they are searching for, to anyone who is hella sarcastic and enjoys dry humor, to the other, to the many, to anyone who has two things to say and only one mouth to say it with.
