HIRING ADULTS TO CLOSE THE RACIAL GAPS - REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS - GOOD DADS! {You can read the blog or listen to the podcast version by clicking below link.}
Blacks today hear plenty about what they can’t achieve due to systemic racism, the legacy of slavery, etc., but NOT enough about what we did achieve, notwithstanding hundreds of years of bondage and political segregation. A topic most people shy away from is personal responsibility within the black community. Having these complex discussions is the only way to move forward.

People of colour remain significantly underrepresented in environmental spaces- Let's talk about the importance of inclusion!
The Black Earth Podcast, produced by Marion Atieno Osieyo and Elliott Roche with Anesu Matanda Mambingo as Social Media and Marketing Lead underscores the significance of diverse representation in environmental spaces. As Osieyo and her guests delve into topics like disability justice and inclusive urban design, they underscore crucial perspectives on environmentalism and social justice.
Historically, the environmental sector has lacked diversity, with Black individuals particularly underrepresented. Black Earth challenges this narrative by amplifying the voices of Black women leaders who bring unique perspectives and experiences to the table.
From exploring Afro-Indigenous farming practices to discussing climate psychology, Black Earth fosters a space where innovative solutions and inclusive approaches thrive.

Transcript:
“I mean, I think the first thing is, you have to increase your proximity to the community you want to impact. So if you want to invest in or you want to support black communities, you got to spend time in black communities. And I'm not just saying spend time when you're, you know, hosting or bringing organizations or nonprofits into your corporate headquarters, right? No, I'm talking about going out and actually spending time, spending your own personal time, in and around the communities that you want to serve. Like you kind of, you really have to build your empathy. And it's hard to build empathy in a three hour workshop, right, or in a two hour service project. The second thing I'd say is listening. Listening is so important, because communities already know what they need. And so often, we want to measure, we want to survey. and we feel like, you know, as a corporate community, that there is a knowledge gap, Right? When the knowledge gap is really yours. That communities are very well aware of their challenges and opportunities and their assets, and are really hungry for ways that their assets can be leveraged and accelerated.”

✨ Teaching is Political: The Role of Early Conversations in Shaping Justice-Oriented Kids ✨
I had the incredible honor of sitting down with Megan Madison for my latest podcast episode, and I’m still reflecting on the wealth of knowledge she shared. Dr. Madison, a political educator, scholar-activist, and co-author of the award-winning First Conversations book series, illuminated the importance of talking to young children about race, gender, consent, and body positivity.
Her groundbreaking Sociopolitical Ecology of Development framework and her deep-rooted passion for radical Black feminism remind us that early education is not just about ABCs—it’s about equity, justice, and humanity.
🎙️ In this episode, we dive into:
Why teaching is political and how it shapes our youngest learners.
Practical ways to have anti-bias conversations with toddlers.
The profound impact these discussions have on self-awareness, empathy, and justice.
💡 Whether you’re an educator, a parent, or someone passionate about fostering equity, this episode is packed with actionable insights to start or deepen these important conversations.

Let’s continue this conversation: What’s one question you’ve received from a child about justice or fairness, and how did you respond? Share your stories in the comments!
