If the experiences of racism in a white supremacist system seem too far away from your daily reality, I'm Tired of Racism will change that. If you think of racism as something that only happens where you are, I'm Tired of Racism will change that, too. And if you're wondering how you can be a true ally and avoid performative nonsense, this book is an excellent starting point.

I'm Tired of Racism is a collection of Sharon Hurley Hall's anti-racism essays, sharing her global perspective on racism, anti-racism, anti-Blackness, and white supremacy. Hurley Hall has lived and worked in multiple countries, enabling her to accurately reflect on experiences of racism in different locations.

The foreword, by Ashanti Maya Martin, says: "Because Sharon's experience is rooted in the U.S., the Caribbean, and Europe, she's able to tell us how the U.S. looks from the outside in (not great at the moment), and explain how even being a citizen of a Black-majority country comes with its own layered burdens rooted in colonialism and white supremacy."
