Discussion Guide

This short discussion guide uses the Emotional Justice template of work through your feelings, reimagine your focus, and build the future and is designed to open up space for you to have, hold, and stay through an Emotional Justice–focused discussion.

Work through your feelings

Talk about the feelings that emerged as you read the chapters of the book.

Reimagine your focus

Share examples and stories of how you have seen and experienced the language of whiteness spoken across sectors, in organizations within your own experience, in those within your circle, and by colleagues outside your circle.

Build the future

Share a scenario or situation centering whiteness from your own experience or within your organization; now retell the story decentering whiteness. Share how the change would transform the space you are in—whether that is labor, learning, or leisure space.
