In April 2021 Emma released ‘What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition’ which was an immediate Times and Sunday Times bestseller. WWPCDN?is a clever deconstruction of the mainstream conversation around anti-racism. It followed on from her debut work ‘Don’t Touch My Hair’ which was an Irish Times Bestseller. DTMH also inspired a national conversation about race and hair and has led to changing regulations in schools and in the British army.
