Ep. 9 DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion): Educating Kids on Diversity with Josie Maskell
Let’s explore the rich and multifaceted world of diversity. While this is a broad and complex topic that can't be fully unpacked in a single episode, there are key areas that deserve immediate attention.
In this conversation, we’ll highlight the importance of representation, cultural awareness, and inclusive thinking, especially in how we introduce these concepts to children.
We will discuss practical ways to start these crucial conversations early, foster empathy, and help kids navigate a diverse world with openness and respect.
