"This is a deeply powerful and practical work that puts real tools in the reader’s hands for doing the work of anti-racism.

The author makes it clear that she is not the right teacher for everyone, but she is certainly the right teacher for me. I feel so privileged to have been introduced to her work and perspective. And truly, I feel that everyone should read this book.

What strikes me most about this book is how the author seeks to repair harm by breaking cycles of shame, addressing how we are impacted by generational and systemic problems, and making space for everyone—truly everyone—to heal from the past before jumping into action.

It feels like such a gift to have received this book, and I know that part of my work is to pass it on.

"myisha t hill is a gifted writer, speaker, mental health advocate, and educator who deftly leads readers through the journey of awakening, healing, and empowerment so they can engage and lead others into a future of interracial activism.

Drawing from personal experience, myisha shares practical steps to help readers dismantle white privilege and make a lifelong commitment to live out those practices, and she does so with raw honesty, beauty, and grace. “It isn’t until we make the conscious choice to heal,” says hill, “that we move away from the idea that a system or series of rules sets the standards for what liberation means for us. When we choose to heal, we recognize the journey as a life calling, and when we heal ourselves, we help heal humanity.”

Heal Your Way Forward is the culmination of years of lived experience, deep soul work, study, and educating others. I have been part of the Co-Conspirators Lounge (Check Your Privilege) for several years and can tell you from personal experience that myisha is the real deal. I have read a number of antiracism books and this is by far the most practical and moving. Each chapter ends with questions for personal or group reflection, making it an excellent choice for book clubs and small groups.

I consider this book a manual for my own antiracism journey, and I will return to it again and again. Highly recommended."

"This was a beautifully written guidebook on how to embrace being a co-conspirator. Not just how to be an anti-racist but how to recognize and step away from all the interlocking systems of oppression that are the backbone of white American culture. The book encourages you to “stretch into what’s uncomfortable” and “get rid of the tools that are no longer serving you” as well as shows you the unvarnished truth about the “systemic interpersonal and intergenerational harm” caused by the interlocking systems of oppression. The book contains hard truths, including a few eye opening ones, but it does it in a gentle supportive way. Less taskmaster, because that method will never result in long term change, and more encouraging wise mama. I enjoyed the breaks in the book that encouraged you to step away from the heavy learning and specific gentle tasks to get out of your brain and into your physical self. I also enjoyed that each chapter had a few questions to allow the reader to look within without feeling like there was assigned homework. I have read a lot of books on racism and this is one of my favorites and one that I will rely on in the future as I continue my journey."
