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.

Outstanding book -- a compelling and important read

As a white woman in philanthropy I am hugely appreciative of Dr. Redwood's compelling and meaningful storytelling. In reading about her experiences, from childhood through immigration from Jamaica, to higher education and early job experiences, I gained perspective and expanded my understanding of the experience of being Black in America. Understanding how racism shows up in the workplace is essential for reducing the harms that are created by the systems that we all are steeped in. While philanthropy is a good example, the stories and lessons here translate easily across sectors and are important, and I woulds say necessary, for everyone to hear. I highly recommend this excellent memoir.

Moving and honest

This is something everyone who works in the philanthropic sector should read. It challenged me to think about my own biases and how I show up in the work place.
