Heal Your Way Forward is a seminal work in antiracism, guiding white
and white-identifying folks to utilize activism for intergenerational
healing.
In 2018, myisha t hill created the @ckyourprivilege handle on Instagram
to undo the harm created between white women and women of the Global
Majority. After years of living in the micro- and macro-aggressions of
white culture, myisha was tired of staying silent. But she wanted to do
more than fight back--she wanted to heal forward.
"myisha t hill is a rare educator who comes from a place of compassion
and profound emotional insight. She is leading a revolution of mind,
heart, and soul, one that she now continues in her highly anticipated
book, Heal Your Way Forward. myisha's work changes how we experience
the world by helping us understand our place within it. This book shows
anyone interested in human liberation the way to heal, to hope, and to
become true advocates and co-conspirators -- not just for justice and
change, but for the future of who we are as humans." -- Anna Paquin,
Actress and Producer
In just over three short years, Check Your Privilege and myisha's
personal platform have amassed more than 750K followers on Instagram and
became hubs for interracial activism during the Great White Awakening of
2020. But like many antiracism activists, myisha saw the activism abate
after the election of President Biden.
Heal Your Way Forward: The Co-Conspirator's Guide to an Antiracist
Future is the trumpet call to white and white-identifying folks,
guiding them to recognize their antiracism work as intergenerational
healing. In her first major book, myisha asks the most critical question
of antiracism work: what do we want the world to look like in seven
generations?
This book is her answer, but also, it's a tactical, practical guide for
learning (and unlearning), healing (and feeling through the hurt), and
committing (and recommitting) to real change and a reparative future.
This is the book myisha's 750,000 followers have been waiting for--a
marriage of personal story, antiracist handbook, and an emotional plea
to all people to be the change today so we can heal the world for
tomorrow.
In this important work, myisha offers readers the ultimate reason to
engage in activism--to create a better world not just for our babies,
but for our babies' babies--and a clear strategy to change the future
and nature of interracial activism by:
-
Sustaining the great white awakening by discovering the sweet spot of
shame and vulnerability
-
Making room for white tears
-
Developing radical listening and lifelong learning
-
Practicing the great act of recommitment
-
And building a reparative future
As myisha shares, the more you fail forward, the more you heal your way
forward, and the better we can heal the future together.
