The Washington Consulting Group
A must read for anyone interested in helping white people move toward greater racial insight and understanding, ability, and constructive action. White Accountability Groups can be a land mine AND hold transformative potential of increased racial awareness. Kathy Obear’s latest book, Leading White Accountability Groups combines decades of experience with the craft of a teacher to all but ensure that such groups are a success. Leading clearly lays out a step-by-step process to approach, create, and facilitate a successful white accountability group that advances institutional goals. The steps are supported by exercises, inquiries, and worksheets and perhaps, most valuable of all, Obear’s deep and extensive experience.
This book is a gift. It offers a treasure-trove of expert guidance and detailed, practical, ready-to-use resources to help white people counter racism within themselves and their organizations. Obear takes her 25 years of experience and meets the reader where they are, just as she advises conveners of dialogues to do the same for their participants. This book is an essential resource, perfect for facilitators new to the journey, yet packed with wisdom beneficial for seasoned practitioners. Using accessible language and stories, this book is a manual that inspires and supports readers to make a difference in their workplace.
and Author of Witnessing Whiteness: The Journey into Racial Awareness and Antiracist Action (3rd Edition)
Dr. Obear’s latest book Leading White Accountability Groups answers many questions for facilitators of these groups including: where and how do I begin? Her workbook is a blueprint for organizations and individuals seeking to advance their knowledge and skill as racial equity change agents. I have seen firsthand the importance of white accountability groups and the impact of Dr. Obear’s work on individuals wanting to engage in racial healing and justice.
Institutional Inclusion
Dr. Kathy Obear has long been a leader in the foundational work of white antiracist education. Now, she offers a veritable treasure trove of resources and guidance in this nuanced yet accessible guide for leading white affinity groups in the workplace. This book should be considered essential to every organization’s DEI bookshelf.
Leading White Accountability Groups: Create Racially Inclusive Teams and Anti-Racist Organizations is a step-by-step guide for racial justice advocates who want to thoughtfully create white accountability groups that are rooted in justice and loving community. Dr. Obear provides resources, practical activities, and most importantly, critical questions that both guide the development of white accountability groups and invite the reader into deep self-reflection about their capacity and motivations to do this work. This book is a culmination of Kathy’s work as a social justice advocate and is a gift to those seeking to invite privileged groups into deeper accountability and to continue on the journey towards justice.
Foundations for Hope and Justice Consulting
An excellent read, Leading White Accountability Groups: Create Racially Inclusive Teams and Anti-Racist Organizations is for every leader and changemaker, particularly white people, who believe in white accountability groups and are looking for strategies and approaches to create or strengthen such groups. Clear and eminently practical, Dr. Obear’s workbook offers basic tools, strategies, and resources to deepen the capacity of those who want to co-create anti-racist organizations. What I find particularly useful is the series of chapters that build the reader’s skill set in responding to microaggressive situations, identifying and interrupting racist attitudes, and recognizing and shifting the dynamics of white privileges, among others.
Division of People, Culture and Belonging
Leading White Accountability Groups is a content-filled gem with insights, resources, and practical tools to support Equity, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives and efforts.
