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!

Vision

Creating an antiracist world for ourselves, our children, and future generations to come

Mission

To raise a generation of antiracist leaders
To build a community of antiracist parents and caretakers
To provide parents and caretakers with the knowledge and tools to support children in developing an antiracist identity
To provide a space where parents and caretakers can process their successes and missteps in trying to be antiracist parents/caretakers
To curate a courageous, vulnerable, experimental space where parents and caretakers can speak frankly about the joys and challenges of being on the antiracist parenting/caretaking journey

What is antiracist parenting?

We define antiracist parenting as:

Raising our children to express antiracist ideas and/or support antiracist policies through their words and action or inaction (from How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X Kendi)
Raising our children to eliminate racist ideas, policies, and conditions through an intersectional approach
Helping ourselves and our children remove the “stereotype tattoo” from groups and individuals so that one’s behavior never becomes equated with their race (e.g., we are all brilliant, lazy, productive, irresponsible, etc. No one behavior can be attributed to a particular racial group)

Our Values

Courage

Experimentation

Vulnerability

Telling the story of who you are with your whole heart (from “The Power of Vulnerability” by Brene Brown)

Vulnerability

Experimentation

Vulnerability

Allowing ourselves to be truly seen by self and others in order to foster connection with self and others; “the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love” (from “The Power of Vulnerability” by Brene Brown)

Experimentation

Trying new things and making mistakes is how we learn and grow. By adopting an attitude of experimentation, we can co-create solutions as we learn together from our collective mistakes and successes

(from How to be an Antiracist )

An antiracist works to eliminate racist ideas, policies, and conditions through an intersectional approach since race and racism intersect with other social identities (e.g., gender, class, sexuality, religion, disability, etc.).
