The Healthy Conversation Series

“Daddy Why Am I Brown?” is meant to be a starter conversation on how kids can learn to talk about skin color in a way that is kind, thoughtful, and healthy. And in the process, they learn a little bit about how to understand the difference between race, ethnicity, and culture.
Black Joy: A Healthy Conversation About Race directly addresses the concept of race, explaining the origin of race, the social rationale for creating race and for the redefinition of Blackness from being an indicator of oppression to being an indicator of strength and resilience.
