Raising Little Resisters

Hi everyone. Though it is long overdue, there will be a new episode of the podcast uploaded today (3/13/22)! I use a few minutes at the beginning to talk about what's been going on - aka, why it's taken so long to get some new content published.I am really excited to bring you a conversation I had with a real-life nanny - Kenz - up in Pennsylvania. We talk about some of her experiences (good and bad), the shame that she's seen families with nannies grapple with, Mary Poppins, and so much more.As always, if you like the podcast feel free to leave us a review! 

Hi everyone! After a long summer of personal life transitions and big things happening, I am so excited to finally bring you this next episode. In this episode I talk about the incredible project Camp Equity with its wonderful founders Donnie and Lauren. We talk about what the project is, how it impacts youth and families, and what their inspiration was last summer getting it off the ground. For more on Camp Equity, be sure to find them on social media. Learn more here: https://campequity.com/

Here in episode two I chat with Courtney Smalt, a public health expert who works educating teens about sex and sexuality. We talk about everything from when to start talking to your kids about their bodies, to media literacy, and so much more. Here are a few resources she recommends for parents: https://sexpositivefamilies.com/resources/results/?bytype=books  https://www.nadinethornhill.com/ https://www.amaze.org consentparenting.com *Please note, we do discuss some things that might not be for the littlest ears, just in case you listen with your kiddos around! 

Here, in the very first episode, I talk to Emily - a Cincinnati professional and parent who is doing everything she can to raise her young children as little resisters. We talk about the process of unlearning, children's books, race conscious parenting, and so much more. (A note  for all you busy folks - there is a stopping point about halfway through the episode at about 27 minutes in!) Resources she mentions: Untamed by Glennon Doyle I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown
