Book Review “Me and White Supremacy” by Layla F. Saad When Layla F. Saad began an Instagram challenge called #MeAndWhiteSuprema- cy, she never predicted it would spread so quickly. Using a step-by-step reflec- tion process, she encouraged people with white privilege to examine their racist thoughts and behaviors. Thousands of people participated in the challenge, and more than ninety thousand people down-loaded the “Me and White Supremacy Workbook.” Since then, the work has spread to families, book clubs, educational institutions, nonprofits, cor- porations, event spaces and more. Based on the original workbook, “Me and White Supremacy” teaches readers to understand their white privilege and their participation in white supremacy so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of color and, in turn, help other white people do better too. At this time in history, more than ever before, people are asking what they can do to help dismantle white supremacy and where to begin. Saad answers: “Begin within. Begin with you and white supremacy.” Saad is a writer, speaker, and podcast host on the topics of race, identity, leader- ship, personal transformation and social change. request materials.
