Welcome to the Become A Good Ancestor Podcast. A relaunch and rebranding of the Good Ancestor Podcast.
A podcast hosted by Layla Saad.
Layla Saad is a writer, speaker, teacher, and the CEO of Become A Good Ancestor - a company offering digital learning programs for people who want to change the world!
Layla’s work has been featured in some of the world's biggest platforms including Oprah, Forbes, TIME, British Vogue, goop, and TEDx to name a few. She writes and teaches about race, identity, leadership, personal transformation, and social change.
In 2020, Layla published the New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller 'Me and White Supremacy', which was one of the most widely read books of that year. As the author of what has been called a life-changing book, she believes in the power of books to help us change the world. Especially books written by Black people, Indigenous People, and People of Colour.
In each episode Layla Speaks to a writer of colour about their book, their journey, and what it means to them to become a good ancestor.
The wisdom, courage, and creativity of BIPOC thinkers and thought leaders can help us to find solutions to some of today’s most pressing personal and social issues.
We are so honored to bring you this podcast, a thoughtful and hopeful corner of the internet, where we all learn how to become good ancestors;
In honour of those who have come before us, and in service to those who will come after we are gone.
