Listen...

"Your child needs to know that you are someone who will listen to and validate their race experiences."

Love them enough to have the sometimes-tough conversations.

Love them enough that they know home is a haven, a place to feel safe and loved.

Love them enough to listen to them when they feel they are being treated differently.

Love them enough to advocate for them when they are too young to stand on their own.

Love them enough to teach them how to handle situations where they may feel threatened or unsafe.

Love them enough to talk about race.
