This week we do another check-in to keep each other accountable for challenging racism around us. We then get Talia's insight into some kindergarten readiness skills for the upcoming school year.

A White Families Guide For Talking About Racism

Episode 99: Yes, We Are Talking About Race Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

This episode is a lot of us fumbling as we realize how little we have done to be ally's and taking a good hard look at ourselves. This episode is not a signal for sympathy, nor do we have a lot of answers. This is a place where we fumble through learning and listening, and letting you know that if you are struggling to understand how to stand strong and fight racism, we are here to fumble with you. We probably said a lot of things wrong, and we will continue to learn.
