SUMMARY:Talking About Colorism and Skin Color Politics in the Family
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning about colorism? Join EmbraceRace on September 24 for their webinar\, “Same Family\, Different Colors: Talking About Colorism and Skin Color Politics in the Family.” \nAbout\nColorism—the preference for or presumed superiority of people based on the color of their skin—is related to racism but can be more subtle and\, for many of us\, feels less familiar. Colorism\, at once an interracial and intra-racial phenomenon\, can be particularly devastating when perpetrated within racial groups\, often within families. \nJoin EmbraceRace for a deep-dive into the origins of colorism in different racial and ethnic communities and how this pernicious form of discrimination affects parenting and family dynamics. Journalist and author Lori Tharps will join them for a discussion about what colorism looks like – at home and in communities – and how to raise children to love the skin they are in. \nRegistration\nTo register and learn more\, visit the event webpage. \nTweetSharePinShare0 Shares

SUMMARY:“I [STILL] can’t breathe”: Supporting kids of color amid racialized violence
DESCRIPTION:Join EmbraceRace on June 5 for their webinar\, “‘I [STILL] can’t breathe’: Supporting kids of color amid racialized violence.” \nAbout\nBlack\, Brown\, Native\, and low-income individuals talk with children about how to interact with police. They file formal complaints against abusive officers\, take cellphone videos that go viral\, share their stories with media outlets\, file lawsuits\, and protest with allies at their side. With COVID-19 as a backdrop\, some predict a “long\, hot summer.” Others see a promising new determination by many white individuals to become a vigorous part of the solution. \nIn this complicated context\, what conversations about policing\, violence\, safety\, justice\, and race should parents and caregivers be having with their children of color? Join EmbraceRace on June 5 for that discussion. Questions and insights are encouraged. \nRegistration\nTo register\, visit the event webpage. \nMore Information\nPlease note that this event is high in demand. Those who are unable to get onto Zoom will be direct to the live broadcast on EmbraceRace’s Facebook page. A recording of the event will be available at a later date for those who are unable to attend.

SUMMARY:Picture Books Featuring Black and Indigenous People and People of Color
DESCRIPTION:If you are a parent or caregiver who understands the importance of finding picture books that feature Black and Indigenous People and People of Color (BIPOC) – offering children\, as Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop phrased it\, “mirrors and windows” to the world – it can still be challenging to know how to choose a good book from among what’s increasingly available on the “diverse books” market. \nJoin EmbraceRace and the founders of Diverse BookFinder on April 28 for their webinar “Choosing ‘Good’ Picture Books Featuring Black and Indigenous People and People of Color” to get their practical advice about how you can move beyond simply avoiding stereotypical portrayals to find great picture books your child is likely to enjoy.

SUMMARY:How To Help Children Be "Disaster-Resilient" and Why We Must
DESCRIPTION:Data show that children with COVID-19 appear to have lower mortality rates\, and generally milder symptoms\, than do adults who contract the disease. However\, the indirect effects of COVID-19 might well have devastating long-term impacts on children\, especially in socially-\, politically-\, economically-\, and\, often\, racially-marginalized communities. \nAbout\nJoin EmbraceRace on Wednesday\, April 22 for “How We Can Help Our Children to Be ‘Disaster-Resilient’ and Why We Must” for a conversation about how the unfolding crisis might be affecting children’s mental health\, and what you can do to support their well-being. Time will be provided for questions and comments. \nThe event will feature Denese Shervington\, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Tulane University School of Medicine and Institute for Women and Ethics Studies. \nRegistration\nTo register\, visit the event registration page. \n  \nTweetSharePinShare0 Shares
