Raising Our Kids to Raise Questions
Presented by LEAD San Diego in partnership with JONES
Our kids are growing up in a rapidly changing time. How we approach tough subjects like racism with them at early ages will shape the way they view the world and the leaders they grow up to be. LEAD and partner JONES are bringing together local leaders Dr. Aisha Taylor and Chida Rebecca for a conversation about how we talk about race and being anti-racist with young people, as well as how to evolve the discussions as they grow.
