Debby Irving is a racial justice educator and award-winning author of Waking Up White: Finding Myself in the Story of Race, . Ten years and 275,000-copies later, Waking Up White continues to impact communities all over the country to break through the colorblind and saviorism syndromes of the white experience of racism. The book has been widely read and Educational Study Guides and facilitated workshops have been designed around it. Debby designed the book to read like a memoir yet include educational conversation prompts at the end of each chapter. And, as she hoped and anticipated, educators and book groups adopted Waking Up White to take on this challenging issue. Since publication, Irving has seen interest in understanding racism skyrocket in predominantly white communities, often at the urging of community members of color who use Irving’s book as an entrée to how racism operates. As she unpacks her own long-held beliefs about colorblindness, being a good person, and wanting to help people of color, she reveals how each of these well-intentioned mindsets actually perpetuated her ill-conceived ideas about race. Debby will discuss why and how she herself has changed the way she talks about racism, works in racially mixed groups, and understands the racial justice movement as a whole. https://www.audible.com/pd/Waking-Up-White-and-Finding-Myself-in-the-Story-of-Race-Audiobook/B01EINR1M4 https://www.debbyirving.com/the-book/
