White Women Cry and Call Me Angry is neither a call out of white women nor a call in. It is about my ability to name what happened to me during the decade I spent fighting for racial justice in the DC philanthropic sector. It is about finding community with others who have had similar experiences, regardless of where they work. It is another step toward healing. If you are a Black woman or other woman of color who has survived (or is surviving) racial abuse in the workplace, you are the audience for this book.


The stories in this essay collection recount interactions between me and real-life white women. Real words were exchanged. Real heartbreak happened. After years of trying to convert white women to my antiracism cause, I was exhausted. I needed to stop and look inside. So I set out to accomplish two goals: heal myself and transform my institution. Come with me on a journey that is both devastating and inspiring, pain-filled and pleasure-seeking. A journey that I hope will ultimately lead you to the truth of your own story.

Enlightening read. Thank You!

I’m a 69 y/o white widowed male married for 5 years with a black woman my age. I was raised on the west coast by parents raised in the Jim Crow south. I would have not thought of myself as “racist” but am learning how it’s woven into the fabric of white culture regardless of SES or political sympathies. I’m working to deconstruct my own racism and need just this type of information to be able to identify and call it out it as it happens. I bought one for me and another for my step daughter from my previous marriage who identifies as an all-knowing Uber do-good Berkeley “progressive” to the core, but she reminds me of the type from which your book is titled. Too often, my wife is hurt and I’m gobsmacked by the shit that comes out of her mouth. Deconstructing my own racism requires me to hold my white supremist culture's up to a mirror as it has been invisible to me thus far.

I felt intrigued I was drawn in by the title

It was and is an inspiring book from what i've read so far.
It is hard to putdown so, I should be finishing it very soon although I am a slow reader.

You've named it

So... I am just hearing about the book and making my purchase today. I've not received it, nor done anything beyond read the description. I work in consulting and have for over 30 years and my experience with tears - well, I know you know because you have written the book. I look forward to experiencing your journey. And seeing myself reflected in you. If I forget to come back to the website, Thank you for writing this.

Painful and Inspiring

Painful part is the constant refusal of white women coworkers to listen to the author’s experience & wisdom.
Inspiring part is her brilliance and determination in building relationships within her work environment which lead to stronger community-based leadership.
