After the death of George Floyd, the world woke up to a reality Black people have been living for centuries. For generations, Black parents have had to have difficult and uncomfortable discussions with their young children in order to protect them from racial violence and the bigotry of the real world. ‘The Talk’ starts sometimes as young as four years old. 

 

While this is a near-universal experience for Black families, only 65% of White adults say they had
a talk with their parents about racism.

​

In short, race is a life-or-death issue for Black families, but White families can ignore it altogether.

We set out to change that by inspiring and documenting conversations about racism between White parents and their children so that we can equip and empower them to raise an anti-racist generation.

 

Our short film, “Dear White Parents,” follows four white families as they navigate tough conversations about race and racism with their children. It is narrated by anti-racist educator Dr. Ronda Taylor Bullock and Shot by Oscar nominated director Kevin Wilson Jr.

​

We also created a website of resources to help start the conversation at dearwhiteparents.guide
