The Prince George's County Office of Human Rights and the Prince George's County Memorial System are excited to welcome author Amanda Gross for a conversation about her book, "White Women Get Ready."

About the book: "White Women, Get Ready" tells the story of how we white ladies have been groomed to uphold overlapping systems of oppression, the harmful multigenerational impact, and how we can use our unique white lady positioning to help upend these violent structures. Author Amanda K Gross intimately reflects on her attempts to divest from whiteness and mobilizes toward co-creating healthier, more authentic relationships, cultures, and communities.

You can find a copy of her book here.

About the Author:

Amanda K Gross was born in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, to two white Mennonites. Raised in the social justice legacies of Dr. King and her Anabaptist ancestors, she was also raised to be a good little white girl in a system built for her advantage. Over the past two decades, she has committed to the life, study, and embodied work of social justice, including studies in Restorative Justice, Conflict Transformation, and Sociology, apprenticing with YogaRoots On Location’s Anti-Racist Raja Yoga School and the People’s Institute for Survival & Beyond’s Undoing Racism Workshop, and organizing with Youth Undoing Institutional Racism, the American Friends Service Committee, and the Black Girls Equity Alliance. 

Amanda has a PhD from the European Graduate School examining the role of arts and culture in sustaining white settlers in long term decolonization and anti-racist efforts and an MA in Conflict Transformation with a concentration in Restorative Justice from the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University.
