Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor

The final section focuses on what ought to happen next after Day 28. Saad recommends keeping the journal to reference when re-examining white supremacy and complicity in the future. She also suggests doing the 28-day challenge again later to help reveal new layers of complicity in white supremacy.

Tips for continuing antiracist work include regularly reflecting on the journal prompts; finding other antiracist educators; following through on antiracist actions; showing up to rallies, meetings, marches, and fundraising events for BIPOC; uplift and fairly pay BIPOC leaders and educators; and ask those around you to live according to antiracist values.
