About this audiobook
To feel empathy, you need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. If the experiences of racism in a white supremacist system seem too far away from your daily reality, I'm Tired of Racism will change that. If you think of racism as something that only happens where you are, I'm Tired of Racism will change that, too. And if you're wondering how you can be a true ally and avoid performative nonsense, this book is an excellent starting point.
I'm Tired of Racism collects many of Sharon Hurley Hall's anti-racism essays, sharing her global perspective on racism, anti-racism, anti-Blackness, and white supremacy, born out of experiences in the Caribbean, the UK, the US and elsewhere. Hurley Hall has lived and worked in multiple countries, enabling her to accurately reflect what's the same and what's different about experiences of racism in different locations.
