E14 (Season Two): Adoptive Parents/Caretakers: Helping Kids of Color Access Whole Futures

Welcome to Season Two of the Antiracist Parenting Podcast! We start off the season with an AMAZING guest, Malaika Parker, who is the Director at Adoptive Parents of Color Collaborative. Malaika is committed to building whole and complete futures for her biological and adopted children. She does this, in partnership with her spouse, by being honest always, centering the humanity of Black people, and cultivating (literally in their urban garden) Black joy. Malaika is finding ways to build community and create environments that are free from racism and white supremacy, and she shares her “how-to” in this wonderfully filling - and nutritious - episode.Please note: We sometimes use the acronym BIPOC, which means Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color. Resources:PACT: An Adoption AllianceChildren of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

Om Podcasten

Welcome to the Antiracist Parenting Podcast™! We are SooJin Pate and Hannah Carney, two parents who are committed to raising antiracist children and being antiracist ourselves. We are deeply committed to this work and want to build a community that will help parents gain confidence in raising a generation of antiracist kids by talking with kids about race, racism, white supremacy, and what it means to be an antiracist. We’re coming to you not as experts but as parents who want to share our missteps and successes in raising antiracist children in the hopes that others will do the same. We are learning with you, answering your questions and highlighting a variety of amazing guests who will help us expand our thinking. We all play an important role in making our world more equitable in our spheres of influence. Thank you for joining us!
