White Women

This book dares to tell necessary truths. The kind of truths that can save lives, and if heard with an open mind and heart - may even help save the soul of this lost nation. -Frederick Joseph, author of New York Times bestsellers Patriarchy Blues and The Black Friend WHITE WOMEN is not an easy read but is essential if you are dedicated to liberation for all and confronting white supremacy in all the parts of our lives where it hides so easily. This book is not an attack but an extraordinary gift, and I invite you to set your ego aside and approach it with humility and an open heart. -Anna Paquin, actress and producer Delivering clear and deliberate messaging, White Women enables white women to understand how our overt civility and desire to be nice above all else directly equates to racial avoidance and upholds white supremacy. It is the invitation you didn't realize you needed: accept it! -Jo Lorenz, writer and co-founder of The Progressivists social media network I am excited for what this book means for us all. In a world where critical race theory is banned in classrooms across the USA, because the white people were not properly taught to think critically about their complicity in systemic oppression, this book is timely. We tend to tiptoe around whiteness, and this book rips the bandage off. This is the book many BIWOC have been needing to give to the white women in our lives; from our white co-workers to our white mother-in-laws, this book is no-holds-barred. This is the answer to many of our prayers. -Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodriguez Author of For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts: A Love Letter to Women of Color The rawness and realness of these dinners and experiences, the wisdom, and quite frankly the courage Saira and Regina have, has the potential to be some of the most transformational work we have seen in this space in the last few years. The setting is genius, a perfect way to set the stage for the intimacy and radical honesty needed for this work. I felt every story. As a Black woman who facilitates similar conversations in my work with organizations, I know it's necessary to have these frank conversations. But the way Saira and Regina approach it, there is little room for the participants to hide from the truth. Even with all of the heaviness, it's an easy and entertaining read. I believe anyone and everyone interested in this work should read this book. -Michelle Saahene, Speaker, Coach, Community Leader
