12 - How to discuss race in the early years, with Dr. Stevenson

One cannot know what it’s like to walk in another’s shoes. We can have sympathy and empathy, but each path is unique. I want to raise children who are comfortable and confident advocating for themselves and others, who fight for equality across race, gender, socioeconomics, mental and physical ability, etc. In order to dive into how to address race in early childhood I brought in racial socialization expert, Dr Stevenson. He and I dove into what our role is in talking about racial differences and realities, and how we can bring that conversation to the tiny humans. Dr Stevenson is brilliant, and has done research in the field for 30 years. This episode is so vital for moving forward together to support everyone on this journey.
