Experience
Co-founder & Co-director
Sep 2015 — Present
EmbraceRace is a national nonprofit that supports parents, teachers, and other adults to raise children who are thoughtful, informed and brave about race. We want to help nurture a generation of children with the tools and sensibilities to ease the anxieties and rectify the inequities that threaten the future of the United States as a multiracial democracy.EmbraceRace targets two linked problems: the fact that race remains perhaps the sharpest edge along which we divide ourselves, and the lack of support for the large and growing number of caregivers who want to raise children who can mend our racial divisions, rather than reinforce them. Through EmbraceRace we will identify, organize – and, as needed, create – the tools, resources, discussion spaces, and networks we need to nurture resilient kids of color, support racially literate kids of all stripes, and become forceful racial justice advocates for all children.
