ABOUT THE BOOK
Founder and CEO of consulting firm, Change Cadet, Dr. Akilah Cadet shares a powerful, incisive look at where we stand in the fight to dismantle white supremacy—and what we urgently need to do next.
White Supremacy Is All Around arrives as the U.S.’s ongoing racial reckoning has left readers searching for voices they can trust. BIPOC, disabled people, and other disenfranchised 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 to offer an informed perspective that prioritizes belonging from people to brands who seek to build inclusive and equitable cultures.
In a series of personal stories told with her trademark 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 Beyoncé.
A powerful call for true accompliceship for non-Black people, and a way for Black and disabled 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.
