    • Educazione dei figli

How do we talk about race with kids? For white parents raised in the "color-blind" generation, it can feel confusing and even overwhelming to talk with your kids about race because they are conversations you likely never had yourself. Yet, talking about race is something we need to do, especially with our kids. In this interview, Rebekah Gienapp talks about how to have conversations about race with white kids. She offers some great tips on why these conversations, and our role in anti-racism work, differ between people of color and white people. She also gives great advice on how white people can be co-conspirators or allies in anti-racism work without letting ignorance get in the way. This is essential reading/listening for anyone who wants to help create a more racially inclusive world for their children.
