  Debby Irving is an emerging voice in the national racial justice community. Combining her organization development skills, classroom teaching experience, and understanding of systemic racism, Irving educates and consults with individuals and organizations seeking to create racial equity at both the personal and institutional level.Irving grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts, during the socially turbulent 1960s and '70s. After a blissfully sheltered, upper-middle-class suburban childhood, she found herself simultaneously intrigued and horrified by the racial divide she observed in nearby Boston. Her career began in a variety of urban performance-art and community-based non-profits, where she repeatedly found that her best efforts to "help" caused more harm than the good she intended. Her one-step-forward-two-steps-back experience of racial understanding eventually lead her to dig deeply into her own white privilege, where she found truths she never knew existed. Waking Up White describes that journey and the lessons learned along the way.Now a racial justice educator and writer, Irving works with other white people to transform confusion into curiosity and anxiety into action. She's worked in private and public urban schools, both in the classroom and at the board level, to foster community among students, teachers, staff, and families by focusing on honest dialog that educates and connects people through shared interests and divergent backgrounds. A graduate of the Winsor School in Boston, she holds a BA from Kenyon College and an MBA from Simmons College. Waking Up White is her first book.

  Two years ago I lost a family member: Her name was Georgia Ann Shifflett Brinley. Her dying wish was for me to publish this radio broadcast which she sent me on CD. It has been two years and now my heart can step up and take the story under arm for her legacy. The radio show starts out with her and the announcer. 
  The Shifflett Family is a very large and famous royal family from several countries but no matter how spelled are all the same family. Many are the stories passed down of this family and many have not heard this recorded version as of yet, it being tucked far away and no way of publishing in the family's grasp till now as cousin I am doing for all. 
  I hope all the family and many historians reach out to listen as all is just one detailed story of the famous family and their early life way back to before plantation times. 
  Yes Georgia Ann Shifflett Brinley it is done. 
  Your Loving Cousin who misses you so much. 
  Author Melanie Shifflett Ridner Warner
