Beyond Ally is definitely a step in the direction towards the true liberation of people of color and the progress of all people. Ownership of dismantling systemic oppression belongs to us all, white people not being exempt. If ever there was a hand-book to lead the way, this is it. It is truly inspiring, something that we all need to read, and all need to work! - Aida Rodriguez Comedian, Actress, Writer, and Activist This is a critical moment in our country's history, and defeating systemic inequality will take allies who are committed to learning what it really means to fight racial injustice. An important and timely book, 'Beyond Ally' offers a detailed road map for those of us who want to help build a more just and equitable world. - Peter T. Grauer Chairman of the Board, Bloomberg LP At this moment in time, a swell of white people are recognizing their role in the racism that pervades our planet. The risk to this movement is helpless paralysis when the full scope of the problem is realized. Dr. Akbar warmly invites the reader into the challenging process of self-reflection and encourages them to engage in the work of racial justice. Beyond Ally is an expertly timed road map for white people ready to address how race and racism impact their lives. - Candice Norcott, PhD University of Chicago Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience As the world may now be ready to tackle systemic racism, Dr. Akbar highlights the important role white people can play as agents of change and allies for racial justice. Beyond Ally positions, in a real and actionable way, a concept of everyday allyship which is intentional and consistent in order to support people who truly seek to commit to taking a stand against racism and make a difference. - Erika Irish Brown Chief Diversity Officer Goldman Sachs Dr. Akbar tells it like it is and tells it like it should be told. She writes a raw and honest book about race, whiteness, the racial trauma that lives in our communities and in our bodies. She gives readers, especially white readers, a blueprint for how to begin the process of moving beyond allyship into becoming more active agents of change. -Dena Simmons, Ed.D Assistant Director at Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence As a Hmong American woman psychologist, the personal stories of racism that the author shared resonated with so many of my own. To me, this confirms the need to move beyond being an ally. This book has the potential to start powerful conversations and personal growth. The author presents thought-provoking questions- yet the work toward change remains in the hands of the reader and the author is very clear about that. This is a much-needed book! - Talee Vang, PsyD., LP Expert in diversity, equity, trauma, and health psychology
