Mrs. TNTBS hosts Author/Activist Kate Schatz to discuss her new book/workbook DO THE WORK!
Born from the racial and civil rights reckoning that transpired in the aftermath of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless other Black and brown people comes DO THE WORK! An Antiracist Activity Book [Workman Publishing; Paperback; $22.95; July 19, 2022]. Written by Emmy Award–winning sociopolitical comedian W. Kamau Bell and New York Times bestselling author Kate Schatz, DO THE WORK! uses an innovative workbook format to give adults a hands-on understanding of systemic racism—and how we can dismantle it.
One part exploration of systemic racism and one part Brain Quest–inspired educational activity book (but for grown-ups), DO THE WORK! offers guidance through thought-provoking activities rooted in history and contemporary social justice concepts. By design, workbooks are meant to reinforce critical thinking, and DO THE WORK! accomplishes just that with creative, practical, actionable ideas and advice on how to put those ideas into action. Providing a completely unique, immersive lens and equipping readers with tools to analyze and combat systemic racism, it also offers an unbiased look at history—a distinct part of engaging in antiracist work.
