Bookseller recommendation
“Want to learn how to be a good ancestor? Need to address your privilege and feel uncomfortable about talking about racism? You need to read and work through Me and White Supremacy.”
— Rachel • Avid Bookshop
Based off the original workbook, Me and White Supremacy teaches listeners how to dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too.
When Layla Saad began an Instagram challenge called #meandwhitesupremacy, she never predicted it would spread as widely as it did. She encouraged people to own up and share their racist behaviors, big and small. She was looking for truth, and she got it. Thousands of people participated in the challenge, and over 90,000 people downloaded the Me and White Supremacy Workbook.
The updated and expanded Me and White Supremacy takes the work deeper by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions, examples, and and further resources.
Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. The numbers show that people are ready to do this work—let’s give it to them.
Layla F. Saad is a writer, speaker, and podcast host on the topics of race, identity, leadership, personal transformation, and social change.
As an East African, Arab, British, Black, Muslim woman who was born in and grew up in the UK and currently lives in Qatar, Layla has always sat at a unique intersection of identities from which she is able to draw rich and intriguing perspectives. Layla’s work is driven by her powerful desire to “become a good ancestor,” to live and work in ways that leave a legacy of healing and liberation for those who will come after she is gone.
Layla’s work has been brought into communities, workplaces, institutions, and events around the world that are seeking to create personal and collective change.

Reviews
“A bracing, highly useful tool for any discussion of combating racism.”
“A timely and thoughtful guide that transforms truth-telling into accessible and actionable change in hearts, minds, and communities worldwide.”
“Her work is personal, practical, reflective, applicable, difficult, effective, and imperative.”
“Layla not only engages readers effectively—she hands them the tools they need to change themselves so that they can better the lives of millions of people worldwide.”
“Layla Saad’s Me and White Supremacy is an indispensable resource for white people who want to challenge white supremacy but don’t know where to begin.”
“An expanded, in-depth adaptation of her original workbook, which the author sees as a stepping stone for people who want to fight racism.”
“An important book about taking ownership of racist behavior and making changes that are not easy, convenient, or comfortable…This groundbreaking book should be required reading.”
“America needed this book yesterday. In fact, America has always needed this book…Don’t put it off, and don’t look away. It’s time.”
“An effective tool for…addressing larger systems of racism and oppression.”
“Smoothly narrating twenty-eight days of journaling prompts, Saad includes specific examples and reasons why listeners need to examine them. Listeners must be ready to engage with each topic by pausing to write out responses, not just passively listening. Saad includes personal and historical anecdotes to provide context—which is all the more powerful to hear from the author herself.”
“Must be considered mandatory reading for anyone having to deal with the social injustice arising from racism and bigotry that.”
“This book is not for the oppressed or the marginalized but rather for those whose privilege, when left unchecked, has harmful consequences.”
“A rallying call, for those humble enough to answer, to stop and examine how dominant systems shape how white people see themselves, see others, and how they move through the world.”
