We stand with black families and we stand for raising a generation of better humans that are empathetic and anti-racist. We have been working to pull together content to share with our community of families, to support and educate.

This week, we will be featuring various resources in our IG stories and during live interviews, on how to educate children to be anti-racist and how Black families can practice radical self-care. Additionally, we will be making donations to The Conscious Kid and The Loveland Foundation.
