Today, Bridget chats with Jasmine Bradshaw an anti-racist educator, podcaster and mother.

When Jasmine was pregnant with her first child, she dove into anti-racism research and realized that there was a large divide between the world of academia and practical application. Jasmine launched the podcast First Name Basis to provide resources and tips for families. Her resources help parents and children engage in developmentally appropriate conversations about race, religion and differences to help parents raise the next generation to be more anti-racist.
