Are you scared to talk about race with your kids? Are you waiting until they ask you questions about it? In an effort to not be racist are you teaching them not to "see color?" How should you handle it when they point out someone's race in public? These are just a few of the questions host Lindsay Aerts tackles with her guests, Sheryl Ellsworth and Emily Bell McCormick. Sheryl is a black mom of one, Emily is a white mom with two adopted black children, Lindsay is a white mom with white children. Sheryl and Emily talk about why people shouldn't be fearful of talking with their kids about race, correct terminology for people of color, ways white people can identify their privilege and implicit biases, as well as what parent's can do to teach anti-racism.  See our website for privacy information.
