Description

Hey Portland parents, mark your calendars! We are incredibly excited to welcome author and educator Britt Hawthorne to discuss her new book Raising Antiracist Children: A Practical Parenting Guide on Saturday, August 6 at 2 and 5 pm. Britt Hawthorne (she/they) is a Black biracial mother, teacher, and antiracist/anti-bias facilitator. Britt partners with caregivers, educators, and families to raise the next generation as empathetic critical thinkers who embrace racial justice and activism. Full of questionnaires, stories, activities, tips, and tools, Raising Antiracist Children is a must-have, practical guide essential for parents and caregivers to strategically incorporate the tools of inclusivity into everyday life. Hawthorne breaks down antiracist parenting into four comprehensive sections: Healthy bodies — Establishing a safe and body-positive home environment to combat stereotypes and create boundaries.Radical minds — Encouraging children to be agents of change, accompanied by scripts for teaching advocacy, giving and taking productive feedback, and becoming a coconspirator for change.Conscious shopping — Raising awareness of how local shopping can empower or hinder a community’s ability to thrive, and teaching readers of all ages how to create shopping habits that support their values.Thriving communities — Acknowledging the personal power we have to shape our schools, towns, and worlds, accompanied by exercises for instigating change.Bring your questions! We will have books in the shop for purchase during the reading. If you already own the book please feel free to bring it and have it signed. We are incredibly grateful Britt is sharing her book and time with us! There are two time slots available for this event, one at 2pm and the other at 5pm. This event is ticketed on a sliding scale with all proceeds going to Britt. Hope to see you there!
