0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.6	Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I am Dr. Lisa Pestman and today's episode I'm interviewing Dr.
0:13.5	Ibn Kendi. He's an American author, he's a professor, he's an anti-racism activist.
0:20.5	He's written so many books, children's books for adults, books on raising anti-racist children,
0:26.8	workbooks, and I wanted to have him on because we've had a lot of conversations
0:32.4	since the Supreme Court ruled that affirmative action was illegal and I can't think of anybody
0:40.0	better to talk about it than Dr. Kendi and then of course to talk about what we can be doing
0:48.5	so that you know as he puts it we're not just armchair anti-racists but I also wanted to have
0:54.3	a candid conversation with him because I want to speak to people for whom they care about this
1:00.0	but it's not going to be the central focus of their parenting versus saying that the only way to
1:08.4	be anti-racist is to be a revolutionary because I want to address the reality that our whole world
1:14.7	all of our children are better off when we promote anti-racism and also that we have a lot on our
1:22.9	minds and there's definitely a disconnect between the anti-racism movement and the huge space
1:30.6	of parents who support anti-racism and who want to do right in the world and raise their
1:36.4	kid an anti-racist but for whom it is not their central focus and people who are overtly
1:45.3	disinterested in making anti-racism a part of raising their children. So that's a hard conversation
1:51.8	to have with such a luminary because he's the one to talk about this and yet I wanted him to speak
2:00.2	to every parent and so he did which is so cool. There's so much more that you can get from his work,
2:08.0	he has beautiful children's books, magnolia flower, goodnight racism, the making of butterflies
2:13.8	and then he has how to raise an anti-racist and how to be a young anti-racist. If you enjoy this
2:21.1	episode please don't hesitate to write a little review, say what you specifically liked and of course
2:27.5	give it a five-star rating. Both of those things help highlight the podcast and get the word out there
