The Antiracist Generation: How to talk to children about - and model - antiracism WITH NEFERTITI AUSTIN

Join us as we welcome back Nefertiti Austin, author of “Motherhood So White: A Memoir of Race, Gender, and Parenting in America”. Building on the widely-discussed issues raised in Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's, book “How To Be An Antiracist,” Nefertiti will lead a discussion on what it means to be antiracist and how we can apply antiracist strategies to our parenting practices.

During this workshop, we will discuss:

• What is antiracism?
• How do we lean into this new way of thinking and being in the world?
• Talking to kids about racism
• Teaching kids to be allies

ABOUT:

Author and memoirist, Nefertiti Austin writes about the erasure of diverse voices in motherhood in the critically acclaimed Motherhood So White: A Memoir of Race, Gender and Parenting in America. Her work around this topic has appeared in the "New York Times", "Washington Post", “Huffington Post”, "MUTHA", “Gen Medium”, and many other publications. She was the subject of an article on race and adoption in “The Atlantic” and appeared on numerous shows/podcasts and radio programs, including "The Today Show", "1A with Joshua Johnson", and NPR. Nefertiti is the proud adoptive mother of two children and lives in Los Angeles, Ca.

ABOUT MOTHERHOOD SO WHITE:

Motherhood So White: In America, Mother = White. That's what Nefertiti, a single African American woman, discovered when she decided she wanted to adopt a Black baby boy out of the foster care system. Eager to finally join the motherhood ranks, Nefertiti was shocked when people started asking her why she wanted to adopt a "crack baby" or said that she would never be able to raise a Black son on her own. She realized that American society saw motherhood through a white lens, and that there would be no easy understanding or acceptance of the kind of family she hoped to build.
