APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Maybe you care about social justice but don’t know how to help, or maybe you’re a seasoned protester. Either way, this audiobook will make you a better activist—from the inside out. In this guide, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors helps us examine and change our thoughts, biases, and everyday behaviors when it comes to race. As she explains, abolishing the structures and systems that perpetuate inequality starts in the way we interact with the world on an individual level. So each engaging chapter highlights a different way for us to do just that, like changing the way we respond to tragedies and disagreements (moving away from emotional reactions and toward thoughtful responses) and forcing ourselves to speak up and have uncomfortable conversations, especially with fellow allies. She even ends each chapter with prompts and challenges to facilitate your journey. Ariel Blake’s cool, balanced narration really helps each question sink in. If you’re ready to truly be the change you want to see in the world, prove it—with An Abolitionist’s Handbook.
