Antiracist Parenting Podcast
Welcome to the Antiracist Parenting Podcast™! We are SooJin Pate and Hannah Carney, two parents who are committed to raising antiracist children and being antiracist ourselves. We are deeply committed to this work and want to build a community that will help parents gain confidence in raising a generation of antiracist kids by talking with kids about race, racism, white supremacy, and what it means to be an antiracist. We’re coming to you not as experts but as parents who want to share our missteps and successes in raising antiracist children in the hopes that others will do the same. We are learning with you, answering your questions and highlighting a variety of amazing guests who will help us expand our thinking. We all play an important role in making our world more equitable in our spheres of influence. Thank you for joining us!

E8: How White Parents and Caregivers Can Become Antiracist: Edie Grauer & Robin Alpern (Part 3 of 3)
In this final episode of our three-part series, SooJin and Hannah speak with Robin Alpern and Edie Grauer from the Center for the Study of White American Culture. We explore the complexity of white supremacist culture and how racially mixed communities are not necessarily free from racism. Both Robin and Edie talk about being raised by parents who made them aware of race and racism early on and instilled in them the need to actively resist racism. They share stories about their respective upbringings, how they have come to make antiracism a way of life, and how they have raised their own children to be antiracists. They also talk about their work at “the Center” and how these efforts are contributing to an antiracist and multicultural society - which is better for EVERYONE. We strongly encourage you to check out their upcoming workshops, as well as additional resources listed below!
Please note: We sometimes use the acronym BIPOC, which means Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color.
