Description: "White Supremacy Is All Around arrives as the U.S.'s ongoing racial reckoning has left readers searching for voices they can trust. BIPOC and other intentionally ignored Americans want to feel heard and empowered; organization leaders and allies invested in dismantling white supremacy want a framework for how best to contribute. Dr. Akilah Cadet speaks to all these needs, drawing from her life experiences and work helping leading brands build inclusive and equitable cultures to offer an informed perspective that prioritizes intersectionality. In a series of personal stories told with candor and wit, Dr. Cadet explores the long-term work required to combat structural oppression from her unique vantage point as a Black disabled woman. She tackles everything: from the 2020 "summer of allyship" and depression caused by workplace discrimination to navigating disability and building a consulting business, all with a little inspo from Beyoncâe. A powerful call for true accompliceship for non-Black people, and a way for Black people to see and celebrate themselves. White Supremacy Is All Around ushers in a new voice that is timely, urgent, and essential-and a vision we all need now"--

Review Quotes: "In an era clamoring for justice and equality, Dr. Akilah Cadet emerges as a light to follow with her seminal work, White Supremacy Is All Around. This book is not merely a call for awareness but a call to action, urging readers to dismantle the structures that perpetuate the racial pitfalls of a nation and world. With masterfully relatable prose, Dr. Cadet equips us with the knowledge to recognize the insidious nature of systemic racism. White Supremacy Is All Around is more than a book--it's a necessary chapter in the narrative of our society, written by a woman whose life's work champions the empowerment of the marginalized and the reimagining of the institutions that bind us."--Frederick Joseph, New York Times bestselling author of Patriarchy Blues
