Big Talk's Book Talk

So grateful to the author and publishers for giving us this work! As a white therapist, I encounter many well intentioned folks who will benefit from this book! It’s not quite entry level, perfect for the generation of liberals who were ‘woken up by George Floyd’ and want to continue their bias work. Framing racial justice as a form of self care is what I’ve been WAITING for. I ate this book up. The biggest take for me: the pressure to intervene correctly stops us from doing something at all.

Tone is optimistic and grounded in data, most of which after 2020 (so helpful!). We need postures of growth, rather than rules to follow. So many books end with ‘just don’t shame and blame’ but this one actually shows you what it sounds like to interact in a way that does not shame and blame. Miss Evelyn, you have a new fan girl!!
