Welcome to the first episode of the Embrace Race podcast! It's a show about how to raise kids who are thoughtful, informed and brave about race, brought to you by EmbraceRace, an organization created to support you to do just that. On this episode, hosts Melissa Giraud and Andrew Grant-Thomas tell you the backstory of EmbraceRace, and then dive into a conversation with developmental psychologist Tara Mandalaywala about what we know about whether and how babies and young children perceive racial differences. Most importantly, they talk about how to translate that understanding into everyday parenting and caregiving choices. We have many resources related to this topic on our website. Find those resources, and learn more about Tara and this episode there.The Embrace Race Podcast is an extension of the work of EmbraceRace, a community of support for caregivers, parents, educators, and other adults in the lives of kids who strive to be informed, thoughtful and brave about race so that their kids can be too. At EmbraceRace, we create and curate the tools, community spaces, and networks we all need to raise a generation of kids who are resilient, empathetic, critical thinkers on race and who are committed to racial justice.

If racial categories were created for purposes of oppression, then why keep it? Shouldn't we get rid of this thing? That's what a lot of people are asking. You're going to need to know where you stand: embrace race or reject race?I'll be honest - there are strengths and weaknesses on both sides of this debate. In this episode, I break it all down and unpack the key points.Your listen next list:91. Debunking The Implicit Racial Bias Test on Apple and Spotify6.

Welcome back to Happy Half Hour! Today’s special guest is Sabrina Medora, food writer and founder of Un-Plated, a national multimedia platform that celebrates the little-known stories and unsung heroes of the restaurant industry. Her work has appeared in Wine Enthusiast,The Kitchn, and Food & Wine, andshe has produced events with the James Beard Foundation. Sabrina was born in Canada, has lived in Mumbai, Singapore, and New Jersey, and recently moved to San Diego from Washington, DC. She’s the organizer behind Chefs Unite, a dinner series starting May 11 featuring 17 of San Diego's top chefs. The monthlong event is an industry effort to fight racism and raise money for Embrace Race, an organization that provides parents, teachers, and caregivers resources and guidance on how to educate children about matters of race and bias. Sabrina shared about her journey becoming a food writer. Although she’s always enjoyed writing and earned a master’s studying it, she pursued a career in a field that’s considered “stable” but found herself unhappy. She says her true passion is the ecosystem surrounding food and the restaurant industry, how food is tied to a culture’s history and identity, and the way sharing a meal fosters togetherness. One day she researched what she needed to do to become a food writer, and made the leap and left her job. This led to pitching editors, interviewing restaurant workers, staging at restaurants, and eventually founding Un-Plated. Even though Sabrina is new to town, she mobilized over a dozen local chefs and restaurants to come together for the Chefs Unite event, whose lineup includes Claudette Zepeda (Vaga), Brian Redzikowski (Kettner Exchange), Phillip Esteban (White Rice), JoJo Ruiz (Serẽa), and Tara Luansing Monsod (Animae), as well as Danny Lee and Eric Brannon (Chiko). Her goal for the event, aside from raising money for Embrace Race, is to start conversations over food. The event runs May 11 through June 1 at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens in Liberty Station. Tickets are $89 per person (with an additional $25 for beer and wine pairing), and each dinner in the series features courses prepared by four different chefs. In Hot Plates, Kindred, a popular vegan restaurant and lounge, is expanding and opening a new bar in South Park that will be a “tropical space adventure.” New things are coming to Old Town: a brand new food hall, Old Town Urban Market, is opening in the neighborhood this summer. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, an award-winning ice cream shop from Ohio that’s known for its limited edition flavors and celebrity collaborations, announced plans to open in North Park and Carlsbad. In Two People, $50, Sabrina gave us a few picks: Cafe Coyote in Old Town for the margaritas and atmosphere, Puesto’s tacos, and the burritos at Don Bravo in Bird Rock. Although Troy’s pick this week is well over the $50 budget, he said the crab cakes and the ocean view at The Marine Room in La Jolla (which just reopened) is a must, and then he recommended heading to Gelato 101 in Encinitas for the affogato. David said to check out Fall Brewing Company in North Park for a pop-up event they’re hosting today that benefits the YMCA’s Connections Creative program, which supports young artists in marginalized communities. Marie has two picks this week: the bibimbap at Friend’s House Korean, and the hand-torn biang biang noodles from Shanxi Magic Kitchen (both on Convoy Street). Thank you for listening! As always, we want to hear from our listeners. Need a recommendation for takeout? Is there a guest you want us to book on the show? Let us know!

Melissa Giraud and Andrew Grant-Thomas, co-founders of Embrace Race, talk about the work, resources, and community necessary to raise children who are "thoughtful, informed, and brave about race."

The impact of racism on the health and wellbeing of children is significant and we must first examine our own implicit biases if we are to bring about change. We need to understand the differences between equity and equality and to advocate for our children, but in order to do so we have to educate ourselves and begin the change within. In this episode Dr. Lynn Smitherman, Vice Chair of pediatric education at Wayne State University School of Medicine walks us through definitions and constructs to better understand racism and antiracism.  Dr. Smitherman is the AAP District V champion for equity, diversity and inclusion and has long been advocating for children's social wellbeing. Let's dive right in and hear Dr. Smitherman's thoughts about the impact racism has on children and the need to change the narrative.   Dr. Smitherman offers strategies for change at the institutional, practice and individual level and provides multiple resources to drive change.

As I record this episode here in the United States, we are seeing boil over the anger, frustration, and rage over the killing of George Floyd, and more generally, police brutality disproportionately aimed at people of color and the systemic racism that has been so prevalent in our society. I typically don't dive into what's going on in the news, but this is not news. This has been going on for a long, long time. And either I speak up and run the risk of offending people, or I stay silent for fear of saying the wrong thing. Since I believe in uplifting people to speak their truth, I'm going to speak mine, as imperfectly as I might do it. I apologize in advance if my words are inelegant, if I “say the wrong thing,” and I'm open to learning and doing better. I talk about my own journey of coming to terms with my white privilege, just how unaware I've been, and what I've started to do to change that. And I offer a collection of resources that I've started learning from and that you might find helpful as well. I give action steps that you can take with your local government and police force, a list of organizations to which you can donate, businesses you can support, ways to have impact within your own company and even family, and a variety of things you can do on a day to day basis.

A lot of us are angry right now, with good reason. We’re seeing people treated unfairly because of racism -- that’s when people don’t like someone’s race or the color of their skin.In this episode we’ll talk about how anger can be a useful emotion and can be used to push for change. We’ll also revisit parts of our 2019 series on emotions, including an explanation of the hormones behind anger, why some of us are quicker to anger than others and what we can do when we feel overwhelmed by our feelings. Plus, our Moment of Um tackles the question, “What happens when lightning strikes water?” If you want to talk to your kids about race but don’t know where to start, we suggest reading this article (https://bit.ly/3eEss5k) by pediatricians Dr. Jacqueline Dougé, & Dr. Ashaunta Anderson or Talking to Kids About Race by Heather Greenwood Davis (https://on.natgeo.com/306a2Xe).There are great books to help your family start a conversation about race. Here's a list from Embrace Race (https://bit.ly/2U1SvLV). Or try Brown Bookshelf's Generations Book Club (https://bit.ly/3gSljA3).This episode is sponsored by Laurel Springs (laurelsprings.com/brainson) and KiwiCo (kiwico.com/brainson).

America is in crisis. 40 million unemployed, 100,000+ dead from Coronavirus and US cities are burning. This is a moment in history unlike we’ve seen in my lifetime. How do you talk about this with your family? How can you use this moment to actually inspire hope and change? We're talking with Andrew Grant-Thomas from Embrace Race (https://www.embracerace.org/) , an organization that helps parents raise children who can do just that - embrace all races. This is Andrew's second visit to Positively Dad. While this conversation is specific to what we're seeing in America at this moment, we had a more general conversation last year. It's called Learning to Embrace Race (https://positivelydad.com/podcast/learning-to-embrace-race-e36/) and would be a good one to hear after you listen to this episode.

If you care about a multiracial democracy and if you believe that public schools are an important piece of this work, we need your support. This has been a volunteer effort and as our podcast is growing, and our desire to tell more stories and tell them better has grown, our costs have gone up. We aren't interested in trying to sell you toothbrushes in the middle of our episodes, and we'd like to find new ways to engage with you, our listeners. And so, we hope the Patreon platform will allow us to do that.Our hope is to cover the costs of hosting, remote recording software, and promotion, while also creating a new space to engage with you. We have a lot planned from monthly zoom meeting happy hours, to a Podcast Club, but we also want to hear what you want. What would add value to these conversations for you? What would help you engage more deeply? Join our Patreon, and let us know.Patreon.com/integratedschoolsAlso, thanks to Andrew Grant-Thomas.  Please check out Embrace Race and the important work they are doing.  Thank you for your support!

Did you know that babies as young as six-months old notice differences in skin color? EmbraceRace (http://www.embracerace.org) about dad’s role in raising kids who are welcoming of others.

I don’t remember how I stumbled upon Embrace Race, but I am so happy I did. If you are not familiar with it, it is a multiracial community of parents, teachers, experts, and other caring adults who support each other to meet the challenges that race poses to our children, families, and communities. We welcome your participation. I reached out to the Co-Founders Melissa and Andrew because I believe that while the work they are doing is invaluable for people who already have kids, people who don’t can still benefit greatly from their platform. On one of the worksheets they have on their site, they say that talking about race, finding the right words and coming at it from a point of real understanding is like flexing a muscle. It doesn’t happen overnight. We can just expect to watch a video and be prepared to teach our children about equity and discrimination. We need to be working on that now and always. As we are seeing that US racial divisions and inequities grow, Embrace Race is helping people start wherever they are and reverse this trend in our homes, schools, and communities. Melissa and Andrew and kind enough to tell me that they admire the work that I am doing but I am nowhere near where I want to be and there are so many people out there doing much more impactful work in their communities like Melissa and Andrew so I hope you have the chance to listen to this episode. It is longer than my previous ones so break it up if you need to, but I hope you do listen to it! Please also spread the word about Embrace Race and check out their site below for more incredible resources they are constantly adding on there! Main takeaways: Clarity on terms including: race, explicit vs. impact racism, and micro-agressions. Listen to your child. Don’t shush them or make any topic taboo. Kids notice how adults react to things. Start flexing that muscle, talk about race in your community, and surround yourself with diverse people in your community.

Raising white kids is to raise children in a vexed location, at the intersection of whiteness and childhood. White children experience the smog of toxic white supremacy and yet are often silenced and rendered incapable of navigating racial tensions and build meaningful relationships with peers of color. Today, I invite Jennifer Harvey, the author of Raising White Kids to help shed some light on why parents of white kids should care about raising race conscious children, and how to begin doing this work. We begin by talking about the struggles for white kids and teens, not being able to celebrate whiteness, and having to deal with negative associations of being white (racist). We talk through some examples of racial encounters white kids may have, how to help support them through their racial development into healthy racial identity. This was an insightful and moving episode from a white parent who is trying to figure this out and offering her profound wisdom with heart. I hope you enjoy our conversation.   Links: (affiliates included, clicking and purchasing supports Parenting Forward at no extra cost to you)   Get a free family devotional and coloring pages + a 20% discount code for Illustrated Children’s Ministry: https://www.illustratedchildrensministry.com/parenting/   Raising White Kids -  https://amzn.to/2xCxnk5 Dear White People - https://tv.avclub.com/dear-white-people-s-best-yet-police-brutality-episode-d-1798191270 We Need Diverse Books - https://diversebooks.org Raising Race Conscious Children - http://www.raceconscious.org Embrace Race - https://www.embracerace.org Episode 9 with founder of Embrace Race - https://cindywords.com/podcast/episode-9-andrew-grant-thomas-at-embrace-race/ Brownicity - http://brownicity.com “Seeing White” series on podcast - http://www.sceneonradio.org/seeing-white/ “Lt’s Talk About Whiteness” On Being Podcast - https://onbeing.org/programs/eula-biss-lets-talk-about-whiteness-jan2017/ Waking up White - https://amzn.to/2MZcVyA So you want to talk about race - https://amzn.to/2zqqcgo   Join us at the Parenting Forward Patreon Team - https://www.patreon.com/cindywangbrandt

Andrew Grant-Thomas is the co-founder, along with his partner, Melissa Giraud, of the organization, Embrace Race. Their vision is to help provide parents resources to talk about race with their kids, and their website is chock full of wonderful resources, please be sure to check it out. In this episode, I ask Andrew: why parents are hesitant to speak race with their children, how to respond when our children make embarrassing remarks about people’s skin color in public, whether we should confess our own biases to our kids, how to navigate problematic (racist) children’s lit, how we can share about police brutality with our sensitive children, and how communities of faith can embrace race.   So much valuable information in one episode. You will love Andrew’s soft-spoken voice and demeanor, as well as his perspective as an African American man living in racial inequity.   Links:   5 Ways Your Child can Enjoy Some Benefits of Diversity Even if you Live in a Racially Isolated Community Pen Pal World International Pen Friends Andrew’s NPR segment about A Birthday Cake for George Washington The Mosque moves across the street   Join the Parenting Forward Patreon Support Kevin & Baby Michelle   Like my podcast and think you might want to create your own?
