E3: Talking to High School Kids About the Uprising Following George Floyd’s Murder - Part 3 of 3

We have been living in “COVID” times now for five months, seeing the death toll continue to rise in the United States - currently standing at more than 190,000 deaths. And our country’s other pandemic, racism, is alive and well. Breonna Taylor was murdered by police while sleeping in her home in February and George Floyd was killed, very publicly, by police in May. In this episode, SooJin and Hannah bring in two racial justice leaders, Lena Francis and Kate Towle, to share stories and process this moment. We discuss a variety of ways to talk to high school kids about racism, the impact of generational trauma, and the importance of getting first-hand knowledge around these issues (vs. just reading a book or article). Thank you for listening and making a commitment to antiracist parenting!Please note: In this episode, we use the acronym BIPOC, which means Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color.Bad at Love podcast: https://badatlovepodcast.com/Sweet Potato Comfort Pie website: https://www.sweetpotatocomfortpie.org/Birds of Peace website: https://www.birdsofpeace.org/

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!
