Author event: Layla F. Saad, “Me and White Supremacy”
January 25, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
FreeUncle Bobbie’s is proud to welcome author/educator Layla F. Saad! This event will take place at FUMCOG, a short walk up from our store at Germantown & High Sts.
When Layla Saad began an Instagram challenge called #meandwhitesupremacy, she never predicted it would become a cultural movement. 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 95,000 people downloaded the supporting work The Me and White Supremacy Workbook.
Updated and expanded from the original edition, Me and White Supremacy teaches readers 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.
LAYLA F SAAD is the author of the ground-breaking Me And White Supremacy and the host of Good Ancestor Podcast. She is a globally sought speaker on the topics of race, spirituality, feminism and leadership. 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.
Audience Q&A to follow a moderated discussion with the author. SIGNED BOOKS will be available for purchase at this event.
