Progress can’t happen if we aren’t putting in the work and taking action to make a change. In this episode, I was joined by Rachel Wade. Rachel is the brilliant woman behind Guided By the Golden Rule. I first discovered Rachel when I read her Scary Mommy article earlier this year.
In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking to her about how we can teach our white children about race. We talk about why this is necessary and how you can infuse black stories into your child’s life early on.
We also get into what sparked this for her after an incident that occurred with her own child. Rachel shares her advice on the importance of apologies especially in instances when ignorance is at play and why this needs to be an effort on everyone’s part to make bigger societal change.
