In the Wake

Anti-Racism Education with Dr. Lucretia Berry


Listen Later

Dr. Lucretia Berry is the creator of Brownicity, an (In)Courage contributor, a wife, and mom of 3. As a former college professor learning to courageously create the world she knows is possible, she has self-published a book and rocked a TED talk.

In this episode, Dr. Berry shares the stories behind creating Brownicity and how it all started with teaching her own children of mixed race about skin tone, race, and racism. 

We discuss the following:

  • Brownicity's slogan "Many Hues, One Humanity"
  • The differences between claiming to be 'non-racist' versus being actively anti-racist
  • Implicit bias and how it plays a role in racism
  • Common phrases like color blindness being weaponized and used to bypass conversations of race
  • The importance of talking to your young children about these topics
  • What racial healing means to Dr. Berry
