AFRICAN HEROES - REPRESENTATION MATTERS FOR OUR CHILDREN On THE WELL AFTER HOURS this week, Pastor Jerome Gay Jr. and I will have a conversation on his book, AFRICAN HEROES, Discovering Our Christian Heritage. Pastor Gay has color corrected the Christian Heroes which has before been white washed and not highlighted in their proper African heritage. It is a well known fact that representation matters particularly for Black and Brown children to grow into strong confident well balanced contributors to society. In particular, stories play an important role in children's representation: they provide information and models, they guide the reader through the discovery of the world, both real and imaginary, and they convey values such as friendship, empathy, courage, sense of belonging, emotions and diversity which are essential for child development and growth. At the same time, what stories and books taught to children before is now replaced by media content and children's representation should take into account both aspects: literature and media.

AFRICAN HEROES - REPRESENTATION MATTERS FOR OUR CHILDREN


On THE WELL AFTER HOURS this week, Pastor Jerome Gay Jr. and I will have a conversation on his book, AFRICAN HEROES, Discovering Our Christian Heritage.

Pastor Gay has color corrected the Christian Heroes which has before been white washed and not highlighted in their proper African heritage. It is a well known fact that representation matters particularly for Black and Brown children to grow into strong confident well balanced contributors to society. In particular, stories play an important role in children's representation: they provide information and models, they guide the reader through the discovery of the world, both real and imaginary, and they convey values such as friendship, empathy, courage, sense of belonging, emotions and diversity which are essential for child development and growth. At the same time, what stories and books taught to children before is now replaced by media content and children's representation should take into account both aspects: literature and media.

Join both Pastor Gay and I for an informative and encouraging conversation that Christian parents as well as anyone working to shape the lives of Black & Brown children in these times should be a part of.
