This wasn't supposed to be an episode. It was supposed to be a meet and greet. But when you hear something so profound, you have to run with it right? That's what happened in this episode. Nick and I had a chat with Kristie Norwood (she/her), Education Manager living and working as an Early Childhood Professional in Chicago, IL. In this episode, we share a small portion of our conversation around Reggio, ECE, and White Supremacy and how a copy and paste approach to ECE just doesn't work. Join us for 30 minutes of reflections, thoughts, and good company. Explicit language used inside.
