Summary
On this episode: Elizabeth sits down with Alana Best, travel blogger and author of Around the World in Black and White: Traveling as a Biracial, Blended Family. Together, they talk about how to make ambitious travel plans work, even with the littlest kids — and, how to navigate the lived reality of family members who experience the world differently because of the color of their skin.
Then, Zak, Elizabeth and Jamilah go over their recommendations for the week:
Elizabeth recommends: Keep Going Small Travel Kit
Jamilah recommends: Sweet potato honey bun cake
Zak recommends: Mega Wow on PBS Kids
