Note: I have lots of new readers who found me via one of my Vietnamese recipes. Welcome! Besides delicious foods, I also write about race and parenting. It’s an important topic for our interracial family and I hope you’ll find these resources helpful. I promise to share some mouthwatering food pics soon!
This is a long overdue link-up. Last week was not a good news week for our African American me. I’ve been quiet here on the blog because of it. However, I know that it’s a privilege for me that I can even say that. Yes, I worry about my husband whenever he walks out of the door, but it’s not the same as HIM walking about the door.
So, this edition of Parenting Meets Race offers resources on what we can do to change the tide. By we, I mean all of us, not just those who are directly affected by the killings. This includes immediate steps as well as why it’s important that children’s literature reflects the diversity of the world we live in
