Join the OWLS Working Parents Committee for this three-part series by Karen Neri and Andrea Redeau, intended to address racial self-awareness and explore what it means to raise racially conscious children as a parent who continues to grow within their own understanding of their racial identity, privilege, and oppression.

This series will discuss understanding privilege and oppression, racialized trauma, and talking to your children about race and racism. It will also take into account Oregon-specific experiences of generational racialized trauma.
