Sample Book Insights:

#1 I had written an article titled How white women use strategic tears to silence women of color that was shared on Facebook by Lisa Benson, an Emmywinning AfricanAmerican television journalist in Kansas City. She was fired soon thereafter for creating a hostile working environment based on race and gender.

#2 Black and brown women are often the victims of gendered racism, and it can be difficult to explain and prove. When they try to shed light on their experiences, they are often disbelieved.

#3 The tears of white women are the most powerful because they are attached to the symbol of femininity. They are the ones who have been painted as helpless against the whims of the world, and yet they are the ones who receive the most protection.

#4 I was unprepared for the response. It got off to a slow start because the Northern Hemisphere was still asleep, but by the end of the day, the piece had been picked up by The Guardian in the United States and the United Kingdom.
