Book Information
You’ve been trying.
You care. You read the books, join the groups, share the posts. You don’t want to be one of those white women — the ones who cause harm and don’t see it. But still…You catch yourself overexplaining when you’re corrected. You freeze when someone names whiteness in the room. You feel the heat rise in your chest — that mix of guilt, confusion, and fear of getting it wrong. You want to help — but you also want to be seen as good. And somewhere in the middle, you start wondering if maybe that’s the problem. You’re exhausted from walking on eggshells. You’re afraid of being silent — but even more afraid of saying the wrong thing. You meant well. But what if meaning well isn’t the same as doing good?
Is this really where you want to stay? Without Harm is your invitation to begin again — differently.
It’s not a book about guilt, or a deck about performative allyship. It’s a practice for doing better — with awareness, integrity, and care. It’s for the white woman who cares deeply but knows caring isn’t enough. The one ready to slow down, listen longer, and show up without centering herself. Inside, you’ll learn how to:
✔️ Recognize when care becomes control
✔️ Listen without needing to fix, teach, or be affirmed
✔️ Repair harm without folding into guilt or retreat
✔️ Stay in the work when it stops feeling comfortable
And with the Everyday Co-Conspirator Deck, you’ll practice those shifts in real time — through simple, daily prompts that help you unlearn harmful reflexes and build accountable habits. Without Harm centers the experiences of Black women and invites white women into a more honest, sustainable, anti-harm practice. A transformative guide + practice deck designed to make hard conversations real, grounded, and doable.
Why White Women — and Why Now
Because history keeps repeating itself under softer names. Because care without awareness still causes harm. Because in every movement for justice, white women’s participation has carried both possibility and peril — and we’re living through that tension again. Without Harm speaks directly to white women because you sit at the crossroads of care and complicity. You hold influence that can either perpetuate harm or interrupt it. This isn’t about guilt — it’s about possibility. The possibility of showing up differently, listening longer, and learning to use your power as protection instead of proof of goodness. Now is the time to move beyond awareness into action — to help in ways that heal.
Special Holiday Promotion!!
Ms. Camille is running a BOGA promo through December 31st!
“This season, I’m offering a slower, more sustainable alternative to Black Friday and holiday pressure — one rooted in care, reciprocity, and shared support. A community-centered way to support your own growth and gift a resource to another mom who needs it right now — without discounts, depletion, or hustle.”
So how does this a BOGA “sale” work? It’s as simple as this: if you’re in a financial position to purchase two copies of the book, you would purchase the BOGA link. A copy of Without Harm & the Co-conspirator deck will be sent to you, then the other will be given to a woman who has been nominated as someone who would like to purchase them but cannot afford to do so. The BOGA purchase is $40 (rather than $20).
