Summary

We want our children to embrace anti-racist education both at school and at home, but what does that actually look like? In this episode I interview Alexandria Scott, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Ditto Kids Magazine, an anti-racist magazine for kiddos. Alex and I chat about everyday anti-racism and how us parents can incorporate anti-racism into our interactions with our children. We also spend some time unpacking the partnership between parents and teachers. We give concrete action steps for approaching your child’s teacher about creating a school environment that strives to be anti-racist and inclusive. We are both anti-racist educators and mamas who want you to have the tools you need to make change in your community.
