9.3: Big Changes
<p dir="ltr">We’ve got some changes coming at First Name Basis!</p> <p dir="ltr">I started the First Name Basis Podcast back in 2019 when I looked at my tiny daughter and wanted to make the world a better place for her — a place that would be more inclusive, kind and anti-racist. </p> <p dir="ltr">In the past almost 5 years, we’ve created this beautiful community where we’ve had so many hard but productive conversations both on social media and through the podcast. As I prepare to welcome our third little one into our family, it feels like time to change how a few things are done here at First Name Basis, including:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Putting the podcast on hold so I can focus on my consulting clients.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Transitioning all of our paid resources to only be available for purchase by schools and community organizations for now.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Changing the way we deliver our paid resources to those who have already invested in them.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Running a sale with the biggest discounts we’ve ever offered!</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Listen in to hear all of the details!</p> <p dir="ltr">Thank you for being here with me in this work.

9.2: Don’t Do THIS During Black History Month
<p dir="ltr">In case you haven’t noticed yet, I’m passionate about Black History Month.</p> <p dir="ltr">I did not enjoy learning about Black history growing up. It felt more like grieving than celebrating for me, and because of that it’s my dream to make Black History Month a positive experience for ALL children and students.</p> <p dir="ltr">So today, as part of that, I’m talking about 3 mistakes parents and teachers should avoid when talking to kids and students about Black History:</p> <p dir="ltr">1. Don’t say “because they were Black.” It’s time to put the onus on racism.</p> <p dir="ltr">2. Don’t refer to Black people as “non-white.” This makes it seem as if being white is the “norm.” Just use the correct identifiers and describe people for what they ARE instead of what they aren’t.</p> <p dir="ltr">3. Don’t only focus on struggle. When we do this, it doesn’t just harm Black students. It harms ALL students. And this is why I created Bite-Sized Black History, to be able to celebrate all the joyful things about being Black.</p> <p dir="ltr">And y’all know me, I would never give you 3 things NOT to do without also giving you lots of things to DO, so press play on the episode to learn more about these three don’ts and to get ideas for some actionable steps for making Black History Month a meaningful celebration.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Bite-Sized Black History</strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://firstnamebasis.org/blackhistory">Bite-Sized Black History</a> is a collection of mini-podcast episodes that empower you to teach kiddos about brilliant Black Americans who have been largely overlooked by our history books. You know about Dr. King and Rosa Parks — now it’s time to explore other Black leaders and learn from their stories!</p> <p dir="ltr">I just released 12 new episodes as part of Bite-Sized Black History Season 4 — bringing the total number of episodes in the library up to 40! The catalog includes activists, inventors, scientists, entertainers, artists and more, and each episode comes with an accompanying coloring page and reflection questions to help you have meaningful conversations with the kiddos in your life.</p> <p dir="ltr">From now until the end of February, you can use the code BSBH29 for 29% off any Bite-Sized Black History package — 29% in honor of leap year giving us an extra day to celebrate Black History Month.</p> <p dir="ltr">Head over to <a href= "https://firstnamebasis.org/blackhistory">firstnamebasis.org/blackhistory</a> to learn more and to have a meaningful Black History Month by getting your copy of Bite-Sized Black History today.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><span style= "text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Invite Jasmine to work with your school!</strong></span></p> <p dir="ltr">Are you a parent or teacher who wants to help your school turn good intentions into positive action by making anti-racist education a priority?
