Body get free is about …
Let’s get free together.
I create safer space for kids and their grown ups to talk about race.
Most parents and educators are reluctant to talk about race with their kids. I can understand why. Often, we lack the skill and confidence to do it well. There is a persistent belief that if parents don’t talk about racism, their children will grow up free of prejudice. This isn’t true. In the absence of guidance and input, young people develop misconceptions about race that reinforce racial hierarchies.
The window between ages 3 and 5 are critical to instill healthy understandings of race. Yet most white parents say they don’t feel comfortable talking about race with their kids until the third grade or later — a point when racial perceptions are already cemented.
That’s why I create thoughtful, fun, engaging, high-quality child-centered programming that furthers racial justice. I have crafted curriculum for after-school programs, classrooms, summer camps, and sports programs.
As a consultant, I also work with adults in workshops and bring racial justice practices to a variety of settings.
