Mama. You Carry Our Future

“Mama.” You carry our future. What we teach our children will shape their reality.⁠⠀

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. We have started from a position of educating at home, because that is particularly relevant to families with little ones and we believe that’s where we can have the biggest impact.⁠⠀

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.

There is more to come, because there is a lot of work to be done and we hope to continue the conversation and continue the motion of change. We aren’t going to do this perfectly, all we ask is that you just show up. Here’s how…
