138 | Tea and Tattle with Layla F Saad - a podcast by Miranda Mills

This Friday on Tea & Tattle, I’m joined by the internationally renowned speaker, author and podcaster, Layla Saad to discuss Layla’s bestselling book ‘Me and White Supremacy,’ which is a manual that guides people who hold white privilege to dismantle that privilege, educate themselves on how to combat racism, establish a life-long practice of anti-racism and engage in respectful conversations on race and white privilege. 

Layla is a respected authority on the topics of race, identity, leadership, personal transformation and social change. Driven by her desire to become a good ancestor, Layla started the #MeAndWhiteSupremacy hashtag on Instagram, which was a 28 day challenge that encouraged people holding white privilege to examine ways in which racism still operates and to examine their own (often unconscious) complicity within a society that allows white supremacy to exist. A hundred thousand people downloaded Layla’s free workbook that accompanied the challenge, and its enormous success led to her book, which dives even deeper into the topic and has many guided journaling prompts and questions.

This Tea & Tattle episode is structured a little differently and is longer than normal, because I really wanted to give as much space as possible to this extremely important topic, and I so appreciated how generous Layla was with her time. Reading Layla’s book was an eye-opening, humbling experience for me, and I hope our conversation today will encourage anyone who holds white privilege to read Layla’s book, as well as to investigate the many free resources, as well as courses, that she shares through her instagram, website and podcast.
