It’s not a Black person’s job to teach white people how to be less racist, but advocates like Layla Saad continue to guide people through the process.

is based on an Instagram challenge she created of the same name, where she asked white and white-passing participants to reflect on a series of questions and prompts about their own complicity in maintaining a system of white supremacy.Instagram challenge evolved into thepublished hardcover book.”In the book, Saad encourages readers to investigate their relationship to a number of topics, including cultural appropriation, white-centric feminism, and racist stereotypes.

for those who feel that they are already good enough allies. Her prompts about white exceptionalism , white saviorism , and optical allyship challenge those who define themselves as allies to further interrogate the depth of their anti-racism work.“Some people might think that there are some people who are too far gone, that they are so racist or so proud in their racism that they could never receive this kind of work or they could never be open to this kind of transformation.

Watch the video above for Saad on dismantling white saviorist narratives and how to be an actually good ally—and not just on Twitter.
