“No Sweetie, I Live in the Suburbs”: A Conversation with VA Moms of Color

Today we have a special episode of the podcast as Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein hand their platform over to a roundtable of moms from Virginia. When discussing last month’s gubernatorial election, the media has been quick to run headlines about "suburban moms" and their concerns about Critical Race Theory. But time after time, moms of color have been left out of the conversation.

So we asked three suburban moms of color from Virginia to give us their thoughts. Nicole, Kenya, and Zerell chatted with moderator Katie Paris about honest education in schools, microaggressions, and how white women need to step up to be not only allies but accomplices. We are so grateful to these three incredible women for lending their time and their voices to the podcast this week.

Could you use some support figuring out how to step up as an accomplice and fight against anti-CRT messaging in your community? We invite you to sign up for one of our Troublemaker Trainings! They’re fun events where you can meet other women who are facing this stuff too and learn strategies to stand up for the kids in your community.
