146. It's Black History Month! Let's Talk About It.
Friends! February is Black History Month! You know what that means.. lots of important conversations between us and some of our favorite Black advocates in the Down syndrome space. Because let’s face it, many of us have been able to skip out on these tough conversations our whole lives. Growing up, the month of February just meant coloring a picture of Martin Luther King Jr and then moving on with the day. Not anymore friends. We’re doing our best to highlight Black voices this month (and all the time really). And today we are chatting all about celebrating diversity, why talking about race is important for talking about disability, what it means to be an ally, and how to talk to your children of all ages about Black History Month. We’re committed to doing our best to listen and learn alongside all of you.
