Shameless Leadership

884: Jasmine Bradshaw: Talking To Your Kids About Race on Juneteenth


Listen Later

This is a Greatest Hits episode especially chosen in celebration of Juneteenth which is today, June 19th. This interview is from the first time I interviewed Jasmine in 2020. Little did I know that she would become a trusted friend and colleague. Jasmine is the first race educator from whom I learned about Juneteenth, well before it became a national holiday. I am sharing this episode with you in hopes that you talk to your kids about race today in celebration of Juneteenth.  

Jasmine Bradshaw is a researcher, educator, and podcaster who truly believes that creating a more loving, inclusive, and just society starts within the sacred walls of our homes. Her podcast, First Name Basis, exists to give parents the tools they need to teach their children about race, religion, and culture. Her community makes parents feel empowered and gives them the confidence they need to create lasting change in their sphere of influence.


Listen in to hear Jasmine share:

  • Why and how race exists as a social construct
  • How to have early conversations about race and skin tone with your kids
  • How to lay the groundwork for conversations about race in order to have deeper, more difficult conversations with kids as they get older
  • How to talk to your child’s school about their efforts toward diversity and inclusion
  • How to talk to your child’s school about the versions of American history they teach
  • How to be a better anti-racist in order to teach your children to be anti-racists
  • How you can move from good intentions to confident action in your anti-racism work
