    Summary: 
    "Jill Louise Busby spent almost ten years in the nonprofit sector, specializing in diversity and inclusion. One summer, fed up with the faux liberal innocence of the Pacific Northwest, Busby uploaded a short video about race, white institutions, and the danger of intentional gradualism to Instagram. It went viral. Over the next few years, as her pithy persona Jillisblack became an 'it' voice for all things race-based, Jill began to notice parallels between the performances of "diversity" for the white corporate world and "wokeness" for her followers. Both, she realized, were scripted. Unfollow me is a memoir-in-essays about these scripts; about tokenism, micro-fame, and inhabiting spaces--real and virtual, black and white--where complicity is the price of admittance. Busby's social commentary is wryly funny and achingly openhearted as she recounts her shape-shifting moves among the subtle rules and hierarchies of "progressive" communities. Unfollow Me is a deeply personal, razor-sharp critique of white fragility (and other worlds for racism), respectability politics (and other words for shame), and all the places where fear masquerades as progress."-- Publisher.
