  • Dear White People – Antiracist Adoptive Parenting September 20, 2023

    This webinar is for white adoptive parents ready to interrogate their own racism, talk about race with their children, and do something about racism now. No matter what your child’s race, learn how to talk with them about all “-isms,” including anti-Black and Brown racism and our country’s history of white supremacy. Remember, silence speaks volumes. All of us, and white people in particular, have to push beyond self-examination into action. We will talk about tools and models for how to embrace an antiracist approach to parenting across racial lines. Target audience: White adoptive parents, professionals.
