Race Conscious Parenting:
The Antiracist Children Forum
A Space for Parents to Learn About Talking Race With Their (White) Children
This is a call of action for parents to join together with me to discuss raising awareness and racism with our white children. Together, we will learn to step into healing so that we may create a safe space to talk about race with our children.
I am by no means an expert and don't have many answers, but I do feel a moral imperative to hold this space. And I do have many resources, ideas, and experiences to fall back on. Not to mention the amazing role models and information already out there that we can lean on!
In this forum, it is my intention to connect and become allies in social justice. We will discuss how we can begin or continue the conversation with our children around race.
So I am hoping that you will join me and invite other parents to this important work.
Together, we can make a difference.

We will continue to keep the conversation going until the critical transformation that will make this forum unneccessary
​
Let’s ban together and learn how to wade through our fear and vulnerability so that we may model a different possibility for our children to inherit.
Here’s the way I see it: our generation already has one foot through this door. If we raise them the right way, our children will already be two feet in. And then imagine what may happen if they are!
