Antiracism as Daily Practice: Refuse Shame, Change White Communities, and Help Create a Just World explores how white Americans can change their everyday behaviors to confront racism in their spheres of influence.

Jen’s ability to “be with” people grappling with guilt and shame has earned her a wide audience and countless invitations to speak to diverse audiences, appear in media, and contribute her writing to academic and public outlets. Her essay, Are We Raising Racists? spent nearly a week on the New York Times “ten most read pieces” list. She has written for CNN, Huffington Post, Sojourners, The Conversation, and countless other venues
