Lois was born in New Jersey. She’s been told (at Calvary) that her English is really good…because she’s Chinese American. Jason was born in Africa. No one has ever told him his English is really good…because he’s White. After various other stops (New York, Illinois, Hong Kong, Zimbabwe, Beijing), they met and married in Los Angeles and now live in Auburn. They’re seeking to raise their three biracial children (12, 9, and 7) to be aware of not only their own cultural influences, but also the systemic injustices that impact the world around them.

What will you hear about?

Why does it matter that our children be aware of the role race and ethnicity play in society today? What are some ways to start potentially meaningful conversations with our kids? We will share some of our own attempts at being intentional at discussing race, ethnicity, culture, systems, and privilege with our own children in hopes that you’ll find yourself encouraged to do the same with your children.
