Embracing Cultural Curiosity: Raising Intentional Kids & Celebrating Black History Month w/ Trillia Newbell

I have always considered myself to be culturally curious. Since I was younger there was always a draw to lean in and learn others stories. Identifying different traditions in the lives of those around me always struck me as an invitation to a whole new world, and deeper connection.  As we dive more into parenthood, I have been thinking a lot recently about how I can raise Wesley to be just as curious, and intentional with getting to know the stories of those at our table. A few years ago I heard Trillia Newbell speak at a Thinq Media Conference that we were attending, and I remember that she communicated with authority, invitation to action and that her words, though powerful, landed softly. When I was given the opportunity to host a conversation with her surrounding her new book, Celebrating Around The Table, the answer was an easy yes. Through this book and conversation Trillia will lead us through topics like: How to raise culturally curious kids What intentional living means as a family Resources on reflecting on black history month for all ages Recipes that celebrate her rich cultural background and how they are used to enhance her families cultural celebration Trillia and I laughed and reflected throughout this whole conversation, and we invite you to join us wherever you listen to podcasts. Buy your own copy of Trillia's book hereFollow Trillia @trillianewbell Purchase a copy of the book that Trillia references in the episode: The art of self forgetfulnessSupport the show
