BACKTALK: The TALK -- A Parent Conversation About Race in America
Manage episode 311218544 series 3092499
The recent killings of Amaud Aubrey, Breonna Taylor, and Georg Floyd have left most of us with feelings of anger, sadness, and fear for our Black children and family members as they journey into adulthood. How do we tell our children the ugly truth about racism, discrimination, and inequality in the world around us? We composed a panel of proactive Black parents to explore approaches and to provide resources for protecting our children. We had a virtual discussion about how parents are tackling these difficult conversations and the community-at-large chimed-in too!
We asked hard questions, we affirmed each others' fears, and we came up with solutions to shield and to protect our children. We even provided The TALK Tool Kit for parents to download. You can get it here! For students experiencing racism in school from other students arm them with positive clapbacks and as a parent help them to learn how to navigate a racist world.
