And I think that's the fear for a lot of us. And people often think I don't have that fear because I'm

black and I'm like, well, yeah, I don't have that fear about black stuff, but I have that fear

about other cultures, just like you may have about my culture. I can read a book or see a piece of

art and think, I think it looks okay. I think it sounds okay. And a friend of mine can be like, no,

girl, that's not okay. And I'm like, okay, teach me. I want to know why I want to be,

I want to share things that are true and good and honest with my kids.

This is your morning basket, where we help you bring truth, goodness, and beauty to your homeschool day.

Welcome to episode 115 of the Your Morning Basket podcast. I'm Pam Barnhill, your host, and I am so happy that you are joining me here today.

Well, today on the podcast, we have a special guest, Amber O'Neill Johnston, also known as Heritage Mom.

She's here to talk about how we can use art, music, and poetry, especially in our morning times, in our homeschool,

to celebrate cultural heritage, whether that be our own cultural heritage, one that we're

very familiar with or even learning more about, or the cultural heritage of others around us.

And so it was a really fascinating conversation.

What I love about Amber is she brings so many great examples to the table.

And I think you are going to love this conversation.

Now, before we get started with the interview, I want to share with you our summer

reading program at Pam Barnhill.com.

We are traveling through the pages this summer

and exploring the world with books. And you can get the summer reading program absolutely for free.

We have some great games for you there, some printables, some things to encourage your kids to

read outside of their normal genres.

They have like a little reading passport that really encourages them to stretch their wings just a little bit and try out some new books this summer.
