I'm the author of Raising Antiracaist Kids:A age by age guide for parents of white children. I write and teach about engaging kids with social justice.

I’m mama to a boisterous 9-year-old and stepmom to a chill 22-year-old. I’m also an activist, a former community organizer, and a religious educator for children. 

Before our younger son was born, I spent my days working for economic and racial justice. Becoming a parent turned my world upside down (it usually does, doesn’t it?), and I left my community organizing job to focus primarily on motherhood. 

It wasn’t until my kiddo was 4 years old that I understood how racially segregated our family life had become. Talking about race took on a greater urgency as I realized our youngest child was living in a white racial bubble in the midst of our majority Black community. 

As we talked more about race and racism, my desire grew to find a way to fit activism back into my life. But this time, I realized that activism needed to include my family (at least some of the time.) I also knew we needed to find ways to desegregate our lives. 

While doing this work within our own family, I learned even more about teaching children about antiracism and social justice as the Lead Teacher and curriculum developer of Evergreen Presbyterian Church's Peace Camp. 

In 2020, I created the raising antiracist white kids caregiver reflection circle. It emerged out of my desire to help parents build community and support each other as we do this important work.

The Nurturing Antiracist White Kids course captures the best content from the reflection circle, but offers in a format that's more flexible for busy parents and teachers.

I’m still learning and growing every day, and I’m so glad to be traveling this path with you.
