This was a deep dive interview covering questions like:

  • Two questions to ask yourself and others regarding racism
  • How children can do for themselves instead of you being a helicopter parent
  • Preparing your children to be tougher in the face of difficulties
  • How non-Blacks can use their privilege to call out racism and micro-aggressions


Question of the week: Do you call out racism when you see it? It takes bravery. Learn more on this week's #remarkablepeople w/ @jlythcotthaims.
