I’ve always preferred to take the backseat when it came to being silly with the kids.

How to Discuss Diversity and Racism with Kids

Yashy — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 02:34:29 +0000

I was recently asked if I would like to chat about the topic of talking to kids about race and racism on national TV because the team at Living in Colour had seen the video Little Monkey and I had made a while back about what colour she was/is. Initially I wasn’t sure I’d have
