Nora Loreto, author, journalist and co-host of the podcast Sandy and Nora Talk Politics hosts a conversation with author and professor Jessie Daniels. Her acclaimed new book is Nice White Ladies: The Truth about White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We Can Help Dismantle It.

 

In a culture deeply divided by race, the “Karens” of the world are easy to villainize. But in Nice White Ladies, Jessie Daniels addresses the unintended complicity of even well-meaning white women. She reveals how their everyday choices harm communities of colour. She addresses a feminism that pushes women of color aside, and a wellness industry that insulates white women in a bubble of their own privilege.

 

Daniels then charts a better path forward. She looks to the white women who fight neo-Nazis online and in the streets, and who challenge all-white spaces from workplaces to schools to neighborhoods. In the end, she shows how her fellow white women can work toward true equality for all.

 

Books are available from our friends at Perfect Books.
