๐ŸŽ™๏ธ The Talk: What Every Parent of Color Knows About Police Encounters

๐Ÿ“Œ Description:

Every parent of color knows The Talkโ€”the tough but essential conversation about how to survive a police encounter.

In this episode, we explore why The Talk is more than just adviceโ€”it's a cultural rite of passage in Black, Brown, and Indigenous families. From teaching kids how to interact with officers safely to addressing systemic racism and identity, this episode unpacks the emotional weight and generational urgency of a conversation too many families must have.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or ally, this is the truth we can't afford to ignore.
