pickThis was so well written, I really enjoyed it! I only wish I had read it a bit slower, as a lot of the info in here deserves some rumination. Definitely thought provoking.

pickWith every book I read on anti-racism, I learn more about the experiences of other peoplx; about the ignorance in my own life, about the ways in which I benefit from a system that oppresses so many. This book covers a lot of ground and is really great guide for how to be and do better. Don‘t be afraid to read it. This book is banned.
pickExcellent. I had not heard of this until I saw it on a website for an upcoming book club. Glad I read it, and look forward to the upcoming discussion.
Started this today for a book club later this month.
pickEssential reading for those working towards anti-racism.
Cultural appropriation is the product of a society that prefers its culture cloaked in whiteness.

Managed to sneak this #ImpulseRead in🤓 Another excellent book!
pickI completed an earlier #SheSaid book for this months #Bookspin: an excellent book about racism directed at white people. Oluo dedicates each chapter to a different element of racism, directly and clearly analyzing it in the context of her own experience, naming the impact it has on people of colour, and describing some of what white people need to do, beyond reading, to end racism and white supremacy.
pickOluo‘s delivery is forthright and factual, conversational and blunt. She does justice to her readers, especially her white readers of whom I am one, by not mincing words, by her willingness to explain, to share her personal experiences. I think I will find conversations where race comes up easier to engage in. Grateful for this new perspective and hopeful it bears fruit as I live my life.

My weekend is too packed to participate in Dewey‘s readathon like I originally intended🥲 but at least I have the evening to my own and my books ☺️
