This month is Black History month and we puts time aside to reflect, learn, and build a brighter future for all. Alongside reflecting on the accomplishments of Black people, the history of racism is often discussed. This topic can be difficult to discuss. We encourage you and your family to have age appropriate conversations with your child in a hope to tool the next generation with God's love for everyone. Below (click the picture) are some tips to embrace a health perspective of race and embracing people of all cultures.
