In this episode, I sit down with therapist Josie Ampaw-Greene — a licensed clinical social worker and mom to twins — for a conversation on how we talk to our kids about race, identity, and oppression.
We talk about:
Why "should I even bring it up?" is itself a form of privilege
Ally vs. accomplice — and sitting IN the discomfort, not on the sidelines
Perfectionism as a form of white supremacy (yeah...we went there)
Adultification — why kids of color have these talks so much earlier
Starting with history (going back 300 years, not today's headlines)
And where to start today
If you take one thing from this episode, let it be Josie's reminder: you can't take your kids somewhere you haven't gone yourself.
