EmbraceRace is pleased to announce the launch of Color-Brave: An Early Childhood Learning Community of/for Adults Nurturing Resistance & Joy in BIPOC Children. If you are raising/teaching one or more young BIPOC children, join this webinar for more information.

A conversation about some of the issues, places, and opportunities we need to understand, and weigh in on, if we’re to advance the well-being of children, in general, and children of color in particular.

Grace Lin, Oge Mora and Yuyi Morales share their experiences as children who didn’t see people who looked like them depicted favorably or much at all in books and media. We ask them what that invisibility cost them and how they came to create the images they wish they’d had as children.

We live in deeply stressful times. COVID. Racial tension and violence. Political polarization. Dire economic straits. Happily, there are strategies and practices we can use to lessen the effects of racial stress on our bodies and minds and on our parenting.

If we are to raise a generation of BIPOC children who fully recognize their own humanity, and that of their peers within and across lines of race and ethnicity, we need the entire village involved. For Part 2 of this series, we focus on the role of educators.
