Educate Yourself First

If you're going to have a conversation about white privilege with your children, doing your own research beforehand can help you feel more self-assured. The only issue is finding the right place to start. As Faber says, "I feel like parents are being inundated with really good resources, but it takes a lot of time to really vet through and pull out what's helpful."

Should the plethora of information seem a bit overwhelming, Faber recommends starting with a larger organisation like Cultures of Dignity to find lots of resources compiled all in one place. She says taking the time to go through these materials is imperative because, "This is a topic that we really do want to get right, and [we want] to make sure that it is reflective of people's genuine experiences and things we maybe haven't lived." In this case, that means looking for and listening to information distributed by Black content creators.
