Our Impact
With each new piece of content or webinar
we publish our community of parents, guardians, educators, and advocates
grows. In turn they impact the lives of children and our communities to
exponential effect.
- "When my daughter
turned 3, I started thinking about how I can raise her with honest
conversations about race. I’m white and my partner is Asian, and I
didn’t have much context or even comfort talking about race. I turned to
EmbraceRace and the webinars and info graphics were really empowering,
just to provide the research and stories I needed to gain more comfort
in talking about race." -Parent or Guardian
- "Webinars
empower me (white mom) to be more informed in raising my (biracial)
sons. I feel more informed and love your approach." -Parent or Guardian
- "I
work at an organization that supports family child care educators, and
we have used and distributed ER tip sheets as part of our work to
promote equity and equity education among the educators in our
networks." -Educator
- "I am a teacher
so I am using every and all articles to better educate myself and make
my classroom a more inclusive space for everyone." -Educator
- "Our
organization, Indigo Cultural Center, does lots of trainings with
professionals who support early childhood teachers (quality coaches,
mental health consultants, community trainers). We list EmbraceRace in
our resource list every single time. More specifically, we go to
EmbraceRace for specific scripted examples of how parents and teachers
talk with young children about race and social justice. Then we spend
time processing how they might adapt these conversations themselves." -Educator
