Gaining Mom-entum on Race & Racism, Part 2: Allyship & White Privilege

1 hour 7 minutes

This week, Abi & Meghan continue their conversation about race, racism and parenting. They discuss how they’ve been talking with their kids about race, the need for diversity in the media their kids consume (books, TV shows, movies, music, food), and how they want to continue upping their parenting game around race and racism moving forward. They also talk a lot about privilege and allyship, including what those words mean to them. Seriously, they talk a lot about it because Abi has a lot of questions for Meghan about her allyship journey. Though this is Part 2 of their conversation about race and racism, it’s an ongoing conversation that they will revisit again and again throughout Gaining Mom-entum. Thanks for joining them and please get in touch. Let’s keep talking and let’s keep growing!
