You're listening to the First Name Basis podcast, Season 3, Episode 21, How to Teach Media Literacy to Our Children, with Emmy Award-winning journalist Tori Nelson.

Teaching our children to be inclusive and anti-racist starts with us within the sacred walls of our home.

First-name basis is designed to empower you with the confidence you need to be a leader in your

family and a change maker in your community. Together, we will wrestle with hard questions

and use the answers to create the world we

want, a world that reflects our values of inclusion, compassion, and courage. I'm your host,

Jasmine Bradshaw, and I am so excited to be on this journey with you. Hello, first name basis fam.

and you can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts, and every single morning, they have a little

podcast just for kids. Kid News is fantastic because what they do is they look at all the news

that's going on in the world.

And then they boil it down to about six different stories that they feel like are important

for children to hear about. So they do a really good job of explaining the range between things

that are good and exciting and things are a little bit harder in the world.

And it's just a daily way for our children to become up to date on current events.

And a couple of years ago, I spent some time in the classroom learning from another fantastic teacher.
