    Thanks for the information Meg! I am so excited for this book club. I found this book to be so helpful when I read it last year and I am excited to revisit it. For me, White fragility is one of those concepts that seemed easy to grasp at first, but the more time goes by, I am understanding just how layered and harmful my own fragility really is.
