About this audiobook
With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus-overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference-then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.
