About the Book

"Dear white women: please do us all a favor and buy this book….Then READ IT."
—Kate Schatz, New York Times bestselling author

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

This is a question that many seemingly well intentioned White people ask people of color. Yet, it places the responsibility to educate on their peers, friends, colleagues, and even strangers, rather than themselves. If you’ve ever asked or been asked “What can I do to help combat racism?” then Dear White Women: Let’s Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism is the answer you’re looking for.

From the creators of the award winning podcast Dear White Women, this book breaks down the psychology and barriers to meaningful race discussions for White people, contextualizing racism throughout American history in short, targeted chapters. Sara Blanchard and Misasha Suzuki Graham bring their insights to the page with:

·        Personal narratives
·        Historical context
·        Practical tips

Dear White Women challenges readers to encounter the hard questions about race (and racism) in order to push the needle of change in a positive direction.

Meet the Author

Sara Blanchard & Misasha Suzuki Graham are best friends who met over 2 years ago while walking out of a racial identity discussion at Harvard. They are now the co-hosts of Dear White Women, an award-winning weekly social justice podcast dedicated to starting real discussions about race, racism, and how to be more anti-racist.
 
Sara helps communities build connections through conscious conversations, which she does as a facilitator, TEDx speaker, writer, and consultant. Having worked at Goldman Sachs and having helped to teach positive psychology at Harvard, Sara speaks the language of traditional accomplishment, but for over ten years, Sara has chosen to pursue the science and techniques of well-being as a certified life coach, Reiki-practitioner, mother, and author of Flex Mom. In addition to facilitating meaningful panel conversations about race and supporting projects that showcase stories of those in marginalized communities, Sara is married to a White Canadian man and is raising their two White-presenting girls to be compassionate, thoughtful advocates. They live in Denver, Colorado with their incredibly attention-seeking dog.
