Making Room by Gather Embracing Cultural Curiosity: Raising Intentional Kids & Celebrating Black History Month w/ Trillia Newbell
I have always considered myself to be culturally curious. Since I was younger there was always a draw to lean in and learn others stories. Identifying different traditions in the lives of those around me always struck me as an invitation to a whole new world, and deeper connection. As we dive more into parenthood, I have been thinking a lot recently about how I can raise Wesley to be just as curious, and intentional with getting to know the stories of those at our table.
A few years ago I heard Trillia Newbell speak at a Thinq Media Conference that we were attending, and I remember that she communicated with authority, invitation to action and that her words, though powerful, landed softly. When I was given the opportunity to host a conversation with her surrounding her new book, Celebrating Around The Table, the answer was an easy yes.
Through this book and conversation Trillia will lead us through topics like:
- How to raise culturally curious kids
- What intentional living means as a family
- Resources on reflecting on black history month for all ages
- Recipes that celebrate her rich cultural background and how they are used to enhance her families cultural celebration
Trillia and I laughed and reflected throughout this whole conversation, and we invite you to join us wherever you listen to podcasts.
