A podcast about the intersections of social political, justice, and parenting
The Meet Jasmine and Mo podcast is an incredible resource for parents and non-parents alike, offering a fresh and intersectional perspective on parenting and dismantling systems of harm. Mo and Jasmine speak honestly and openly about their own parenting journey, addressing the barriers and roadblocks faced in raising socially aware anti-racist children. Their engaging and heartfelt conversations provide listeners with valuable insights, free therapy sessions, and ways to confront internalized white supremacy and smash the patriarchy. This podcast goes beyond mainstream parenting media, giving voice to those often marginalized in the conversation.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to deconstruct the status quo of parenting on various levels. Through thought-provoking discussions, the hosts challenge traditional notions of parenting while highlighting characteristics of white supremacy that often go unnoticed. Listeners will have the opportunity to unlearn harmful beliefs and gain new perspectives on inclusivity and equity. The content is not only applicable to parents but also teachers or anyone who wants to challenge themselves to understand new points of view.
On the downside, it would be helpful if each episode title provided a little preview of what the episode was about. This would make it easier for listeners to find episodes that align with their interests or areas they want to explore further. While this may seem like a small critique, it could greatly enhance the overall listening experience by allowing individuals to navigate through specific topics that pique their curiosity.
In conclusion, The Meet Jasmine and Mo podcast is an exceptional resource for anyone seeking progressive perspectives on parenting and social justice issues. Mo and Jasmine's genuine approach, combined with their humor and thoughtfulness, create a space where listeners can learn, grow, and challenge their own beliefs. Whether you are a parent or not, this podcast offers valuable insights into dismantling harmful systems in our interactions with each other. Prepare to have your mind blown as you embark on an eye-opening journey filled with education, self-reflection, and actionable steps towards a more equitable world.
