Pan Parenting

In this episode, the first part in a two part series on Police Brutality and White Childhood, I share my essay FUCK YOUR BREATH, which was published last month in Leaping Clear, and which considers the role parents of white children can, do, and should play in what represents some of the most intimate and violent encounters with White Supremacy. 

With Amanda Moore, another American mother in Rome, I unravel feelings and thoughts during the early days of Italy’s strict lockdown, discussing sibling pandemic bonding, rituals for sharing grief, connections to place, expat news consumption, running from oneself, and missing the world right outside ones door.

In this episode, I talk to Robin Hemley, author of Borderline Citizen, among many other books. We discuss raising flexible and responsible travelers, the privileges afforded expats, finding oneself through travel, embracing a receptivity, and discovering hidden courage.

In this episode, I travel to Cali, Colombia, to talk with Leah James to discuss political estrangement, expat privilege, interracial and international relationships, hierarchies and community connections, and the future of our own young children’s American-ness. Visit Us Today!
