Raising Our Children To Be Allies & Advocates For Social Justice With Margenett Moore-Roberts

Leading With Empathy & Allyship

In this episode, Empovia (formerly Change Catalyst) Founder & CEO Melinda Briana Epler engages in an important conversation with Margenett Moore-Roberts, Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer of IPG DXTRA, about how to raise our children as allies and advocates who can disrupt and redress race-based harm.

You’ll come away from this episode with an understanding of why and how to have tough conversations with children about racism, so that they can live in a just, fair, and peaceful world. We also discuss the critical need of reforming the white supremacy built into our American educational system, one that has often taught a one-sided and biased perspective of history.
