0:00.0	You're listening to the First Name Basis podcast, Season 2, Episode 21, how you can support
0:06.8	anti-racist educators.
0:14.9	Welcome to First Name Basis, a community of parents committed to making the transformation,
0:22.3	from good intentions to confident action. Join us each week as we cover critical topics and answer the questions you've
0:27.6	never felt comfortable asking. We'll use the lessons we learn to teach our children about race,
0:32.7	religion, and culture. I'm your host, Jasmine Bradshaw.
0:48.9	Thank you. culture. I'm your host, Jasmine Bradshaw. Hello, First Name Basis, fam. I am so glad you are here. As most of you know, I have been on a little break for the past
