cheesecake & crying

episode 35: the one with the hard truths


Listen Later

Hey mamas.

This episode is an important conversation, and we’re honoured to have advocate and activist Amanda Faun (@arborandwood) as our guest.

This is a must-listen for white parents especially, who may be curious about navigating those first conversations about anti-racism and ally ship. 

Amanda talks to us about how teaching our children through experiential learning and exposing our kids to diversity is more important than worrying about saying the right or wrong things.

We also discuss how the perception of law enforcement is shaped by racial make-up, how decolonized education is a way to reclaim a BIPOC-centred experience in a lacking standard curriculum, and how homophobia and racism go hand in hand and need to be rooted out together. 

Let’s get to it.

And of course make sure you're following both of us on the 'gram:
