Do You Talk to Your Kids About Racism?

Black Love Podcast Network
About this episode

How do you talk to your kids about racism? There's no one answer, and every conversation is different. In this episode,  the Mamas share whether they have discussed the White supremacist mass shooting in Buffalo with their children. Plus, what are the expectations of schools to educate our kids around not only this event, but around racism as a whole? This is a conversation that everyone needs to hear as the Mamas get real about the challenges they have faced while trying to protect and educate their kids.

Have you talked to your kids about racism? Let the Mamas know!
