In Conversation With Layla F. Saad
1h 0m
Join globally respected antiracism educator Layla Saad to celebrate the publication of Me and White Supremacy: Young Adult Edition, the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling antiracism workbook written specifically for younger readers, giving them the knowledge and tools to fight racism and change the world.
As an East African, Arab, British, Black, Muslim woman who was born and grew up in the West, and lives in the Middle East, Layla has always sat at a unique intersection of identities from which she is able to draw rich and intriguing perspectives.
Layla wrote Me and White Supremacy, which published in January 2020, to encourage people who hold white privilege to examine their (often unconscious) racist thoughts and behaviours through a unique, 28-day reflection process. In this Young Adult edition, Layla has completely reworked the original to address readers of 11+ and of all races to help them explore and better understand racism.
The Young Adult edition is based on the understanding that it is important for all young people to understand these topics, so they can grow into adults who know how to have conversations about race and racism as well as how to work together collectively to create an antiracist world. Like the original book, this edition guides readers through the different concepts that contribute to white supremacy and explores how they can help dismantle it to create a fairer world.
Able to be engaged with in a group, a class, or individually, join Layla as she discusses and outlines Me and White Supremacy: Young Adult Edition in an engaging, practical and insightful way.
