No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

30. No Small Talk Conversation with Ashley Beach-Reid | Conversation about Race and Racism


Listen Later

Today our friend Ashley Beach- Reid join us in a conversation about how to talk with kids about race in a way that's age appropriate. In light of recent events of police brutality and the realities that structural and systemic racism still exists, parents are feeling the need to start having these conversations in order to teach and prepare them for what they may witness growing up as a black child in America.  Though the conversations about race, racism, and discrimination will look differently for each family, the conversation is a much needed one that requires intentionality and consciousness.  

We also talk about: 

  • The power of affirmations and the importance of parents to instill confidence and pride in their black children 
  • How to combat the fear and concern of exposing children to issues like racism and racism at an early age 
  • The impact of television, social media and imagery on a child's perception of self-love, self- worth, and self-esteem 
  • Our first childhood experience with race and racism
