Founder and CEO of consulting firm Change Cadet Dr. Akilah Cadet shares a powerful, incisive look at where we are in the fight to dismantle white supremacy—and what we urgently need to do next.
White Supremacy Is All Around arrived as America's racial reckoning had left readers searching for voices they could trust. BIPOC, disabled people, and other intentionally ignored Americans wanted to feel heard and empowered; organization leaders and allies invested in dismantling white supremacy wanted 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 belonging.
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 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.
"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
