Summary of Layla F. Saad's Me and White Supremacy

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 This book is for people who are ready to do the work, people who want to create change in the world by activating change within themselves first. It is a resource that helps you take responsibility for dismantling the way that this system manifests, both within yourself and within your community.

#2 The work is not about those out there, but about you - just you. It will be challenging, intimidating, and unrewarding. But if you are a person who believes in love, justice, and equity for all people, then you know that this work is nonnegotiable.

#3 I am a Black woman, a Muslim woman, a British citizen, and I live in Qatar. I speak, write, and teach to a global audience. I am at several intersections of identities and experiences.

#4 I do this work because I am a Black woman, and I am deeply affected by the pain and pride that comes with that. I do this work because white supremacy has negatively impacted how I see myself and how the world sees and treats me.
