Our Vision and Mission
About
Welcome to the Antiracist Parenting Podcast™! We are SooJin Pate and Hannah Carney, two parents who are committed to raising antiracist children and being antiracist ourselves. We are deeply committed to this work and want to build a community that will help parents and caretakers gain confidence in raising a generation of antiracist kids by talking with kids about race, racism, white supremacy, and what it means to be an antiracist.
We’re coming to you not as experts but as parents who want to share our missteps and successes in raising antiracist children in the hopes that others will do the same. We are learning with you, answering your questions and highlighting a variety of amazing guests who will help us expand our thinking.
We all play an important role in making our world more equitable in our spheres of influence. Thank you for joining us!

(from How to be an Antiracist )
An antiracist works to eliminate racist ideas, policies, and conditions through an intersectional approach since race intersects with other social identities (e.g., gender, class, sexuality, religion, disability, etc.) and racism intersects with other systems of oppressions (e.g., sexism, heterosexism, classism, etc.).
