0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:07.3	Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Alisa Presman and today is part one of a two-part
0:13.7	episode with RIT Hawthorne on raising anti-racist children. RIT is a nationally recognized anti-racist
0:22.7	and anti-biased educator, speaker, and advocate, and her new book, Raising Anti-racist Children,
0:28.8	a practical parenting guide, is coming out June 7th. It's already ready for pre-order,
0:35.7	linked to it in the show notes. I wanted to have her on for a conversation about raising anti-racist
0:42.4	kids and practical strategies and tools. And what happened was we ended up having such a long
0:48.5	conversation and went completely into more personal discussions that I wanted to share with you.
0:55.6	And so we had an opportunity to have those kinds of conversations that we need to be having as
1:02.1	adults if we're going to raise children with a capacity to have these kinds of conversations.

1:29.3	ones that don't necessarily have an answer, ones that don't necessarily bring two people to the
1:35.2	exact same place, but the capacity to have the conversation and to figure out how to have it with
1:40.9	your kids and with other adults in your life. These things are going to be such an important skill
1:47.4	and so we kept it in. Part two of this episode will come out on Monday and also on Monday,
1:53.3	I'm offering a four-part mindfulness and parenting course. You can sign up on dralisa.biletin.com.
2:03.8	I'm looking forward to seeing all of you. And of course, if you enjoy this episode or want to reach out
2:10.4	with any questions, you can DM me on Instagram at Raising Good Humans Podcast. Don't forget to
2:17.2	subscribe, rate, and write a little review. We're going to begin with what may seem like an obvious
2:26.4	question. Britt, for the purposes of this conversation, will you please define racism? Yes, and I
