So You Want to Talk About Race

I really don't want to write a review for this book except saying that just pick it up. It's a very necessary and eye opening read that'll make us question our own privilege and perspective, help us understand the futility of being defensive about it, and also make us learn better ways to be an ally to Black people and engage in good faith conversations about racism.

The author's writing is both personal and full of facts, straightforward and open, engaging us as a reader in a discussion with her and I found it to be brilliant. I also listened to the audiobook narrated by Bahni Turpin who did a marvelous job making the whole experience feel like a dialogue, and I would highly recommend the format. I just felt that listening made me engage with the subject matter in a much more personal manner. Just pick this up because I found it very enlightening and I think you will too.
