"Social justice and activism really starts in your own house. What you do in the privacy of your own homes shows up in the public spaces. There's a difference between raising good people and raising pro-justice kids who are the activists, the agitators, the ones who are proactive and standing in the gap for other people." - Dr. Traci Baxley

Dr. Traci Baxley brings her profound insights into parenting and social justice, addressing the complex challenges of raising conscious children in today's world. With remarkable candor, she emphasizes that the journey is inherently messy and there's no single correct path. Drawing from her extensive experience in education and parenting, Baxley challenges the conventional notion that simply raising "good people" is enough, instead advocating for a more proactive approach to cultivating social awareness in children.

In this deeply moving conversation, Baxley addresses the personal costs and transformational rewards of engaging in anti-racist work and social justice education. She shares practical wisdom about navigating the discomfort of growth, the importance of authentic engagement versus performative activism, and how parents can create meaningful change starting within their own homes. Her approach emphasizes the power of listening, learning, and allowing marginalized voices to lead while using one's platform to support and amplify these essential conversations.
