In many homes across the country, “The Talk” is less often about the “birds and the bees” and more often about how we can help our Black, Brown and Indigenous children, in particular, be relatively safe from racial aggression, especially by police officers. Register to join us for a conversation in which our guests, both child psychologists who focus their work on Black families, invite us to shift our focus from WHAT to tell our children to keep them safe to HOW, more broadly, we might consider talking and “walking” with the children we love in our racialized world. Our answers to the HOW can make all the difference in our efforts to raise healthy Black children prepared for, and resourceful in the face of, encounters they have with people, including state authorities, that might not always see their full humanity.
While our focus will be on Black family conversations, most of the information and insights shared will be relevant to other families too. Come one, come all!
As with all Talking Race & Kids webinars, registration is free. If you register, you’ll receive a link to the recording, the transcript, and relevant resources in the days following the live event. If you need or prefer captions during the live event, you can join us on Facebook Live, too. Spread the word! Forward this email or share our post about this event on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram
