“We can only end racism by talking with all of our children about how unfair it is, by admitting that all of us have a tendency to judge people based on appearance, by pointing out the terrible cost to people of color but also to our entire society, and by teaching our children that treating all people fairly matters.”
Dr Laura, Aha Parenting
What is microaggression?
Sean, one of our young team members, has created these short animated videos to illustrate what it can be.
Microagression is indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group. Perpetrators of microaggressions are often unaware they're doing it, and victims of microaggressions are often unaware in the moment, yet suffer from long term effects. Microaggressions appear in three forms: microassault, microinsult, and microinvalidation.

We found this short podcast put together by NPR: Talking Race With Young Children (Podcast Episode) and the Sesame Street Workshop Sesame Street/CNN two-part program to be great for a primer and understanding on how to talk to young children about race.
