The Good Ally by Nova Reid
5.0
Essential reading for any (white) person who considers themselves an ally, and a book that has the great potential to change individuals, communities and institutions if we open our hearts and minds to this radical but obtainable possibility.
I have been doing the online anti-racism training that the author offers so when I heard Nova also had a book coming out, I immediately ordered a copy for myself and several for friends and family. The book does not disappoint and indeed I am going to buy more for other people in my life who are (or are not!) ready to do the work, dig deep into their own biases and ego-led prejudices, thoughts, and feelings and truly look at the world differently. The most important message in The Good Ally and in Nova's teachings is that the only way forward is through collective healing, and if you believe in that too and are ready to do your part, then please, please, please read this book.
