ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
We are sooo excited to share this episode with you. We had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Jennifer Noble, a clinical psychologist and founder of the Free to Be Collective. Dr. Jenn shares her personal journey growing up as a mixed-race individual, and offers clear, compassionate guidance to help parents support their mixed-race and multicultural children with confidence.
You'll hear insights on:
-
Regional differences in racial identity across the US (we're looking at you, GA and CA)
-
How children process looking different from their parents, and some amazing scripts on how to have that conversation with your 5-year-old.
-
Tools for talking about phenotype, monoracism, and microaggressions in age-appropriate ways
-
Why a strong sense of belonging is foundational for learning, identity, and confidence.
-
The power of helping children embrace their full cultural heritage and self
We all reflect on the beauty of multicultural identity and what we can learn from leaders who show up whole and authentic, like President Obama. This conversation is filled with practical language, grounding stories, and wisdom for any family raising mixed-race kids. Don't miss it and please share it with someone who needs this conversation; it is so, so powerful.
