Description

There are many conversations regarding difficult topics that may arise in parenting. It can be challenging to know how to approach talking to your children about topics such as race, reproductive rights, and gender identity but these conversations are so important to have. Dr. Anjali Ferguson is joining us to talk about how parents can engage children in racial socialization and how they can have discussions about difficult topics with their children.
Dr. Anjali Ferguson is a culturally-responsive psychologist, author, and global resource on social equity and racial trauma. In addition to consulting with organizations of all sizes, Dr. Ferguson's expertise is lent to outlets like Today, Romper, Parents Magazine, Psych Central, and ongoing published medical journals and studies. Join the conversation and find free resources for children and families like her landmark Blindian (Black + Indian) findings in her research-informed, inclusive online community, Parenting Culture.
