13. A Place to Belong with Amber O'Neal Johnston
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Amber has a beautiful book called A Place to Belong- Celebrating Diversity and Kinship in the Home and Beyond. It's a wonderful guide for families looking to authentically embrace the fullness of their diverse communities. We get to dive into several topics that I know you will love!
"A Place to Belong offers a path forward for families to honor their cultural heritage and champion diversity in the context of daily family life by:
1. Fostering open dialogue around discrimination, race, gender, disability, and class
2. Teaching “hard history” in an age-appropriate way
3. Curating a diverse selection of books and media choices in which children see themselves and people who are different
4. Celebrating cultural heritage through art, music, and poetry
5. Modeling activism and engaging in community service projects as a family"
