“It’s a monkey!”
“She’s not even human.”
“She’s a n-----.”
“I don’t like her kind.”
“I want her to be dead.”
As a white adoptive mom of a daughter from Ethiopia, Holly Prosser has seen racism up close many times. The fact that racism is alive and well in our society was a shock to her, and she was unprepared for that reality.
Listen in on our conversation with Holly as she shares her experience raising a black daughter, and you will be shocked by her stories. If you’re a white parent of a transracial family, it may be uncomfortable to hear what your children may experience because of their color, but you can take proactive steps today to ensure they are prepared.
