E5: Talking to Children about Peacebuilding in Divisive Times

In this episode, SooJin and Hannah speak with Crixell Shell, the Assistant Executive Director of the MN Peacebuilding Leadership Institute. Our conversation is both timely and robust. Crixell shares ways she has been talking with her teenage son about the election - instilling critical values around humanity and respect while also supporting him to form his own opinions. She helps us take a big step back as we analyze what is truly dividing us as a country right now and how we can invite folks into conversations about racial reconciliation. We also talk about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and ways we can honor and uplift Indigenous people during this time. And finally, we begin to explore the role social media plays in antiracist parenting/caretaking and realize we need to pick that up in another episode!MN Peacebuilding Leadership Institute: https://www.mnpeace.org/Please note: In this episode, we use the acronym BIPOC, which means Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color.
