Instead of Sitting on Them

White people have so much power that it's embarrassing. Even women. But in

general, women tend to think of ourselves as shotgun riders in the car of life, and for good reason--the world is set up to keep us thinking that way. Stay in your lane, ride in that seat, listen to the tunes pre-selected for you. In this book, Jenna Arnold shakes us out of our passenger complacency (or tries to) with her no-nonsense perspective. She tells us of how important we all are, as just regular folks, and that we're all just ordinary together and can get things DONE. Don't be intimidated! You are powerful! So inspiring! The truth of the matter is, though, that she not only looks like a movie star, but has done everything aside from swimming to the bottom of the Mariana Trench and establishing a colony on Mars. Everything else, though? Check, check and check. I was clicking along with her until I realized I wouldn't be qualified to take out her trash. Nevertheless, she brings a difficult topic to the table and serves it up well. White women have a ton of power that could make real change happen were it leveraged. Kudos to her for trying to do just that.
