Media companies like Cartoon Network consult Dr. Kira Banks to help ensure they portray diverse families accurately and respectfully. When Michael Brown was killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri, Dr. Banks and her family had just moved to nearby St. Louis. The psychology professor was teaching her two young sons to be proud of their African American heritage. After the crisis, she doubled down on her commitment to change the narrative kids hear about race. She says the work starts with the stories we tell babies and continues with the stories we tell children.Episode Resources:Dr. Banks' podcast, Raising EquityTedX talk on systemic changeFaculty websiteDr. Bank’s website: https://kirabanks.com/LinkedIn: Dr Kira BanksInstagram: @DrKiraBanksFaceBook: @DrKiraBanksTwitter: @DrKiraBanksTikTok: @DrKiraBanksDownload the discussion guide
