Regina Jackson and Saira Rao are the co-founders of Race 2 Dinner, an organization that has facilitated over 2,000 conversations about race with white women across the United States. Their experiences at these dinners, coupled with their own lived realities as Black and Indian American women respectively, directly informed the urgent analysis and actionable advice within this book. They created Race 2 Dinner after realizing that private, candid conversations were a necessary catalyst for white women to confront their complicity in systemic racism.
