June 22, 2021 04:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MB

March 31, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MB

Racism shows up everywhere and we are beginning to acknowledge how that impacts different groups, but most importantly we're starting to see the benefits of working collectively to address racism.

This requires each of us to work across racial and cultural groups to end oppression, racism, colorism, and xenophobia targeted at ...

February 11, 2021 13:00 - 47 minutes - 32.9 MB

EXCUSE OUR  AUDIO ERROR. WE JUST UPDATED THE EPISODE. It may take time for it to update on all platforms. Minstrelsy was an American theatrical genre present from the end of the Civil War to the early parts of the 1900s that placed white performers in the comedic enactment of racial stereotypes about Black people. Today, people are so turned off by Blackface that they’re not willing to delve into the reason why it is considered offensive in the first place... and we haven’t learned from our...

December 31, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MB

We are not shy about giving thanks. For our family, giving thanks is an opportunity to think deeply about our contributions to making our family-run, our commitment to each other, and how reciprocity is a form of love and selflessness. For the last episode of 2020, we went LIVE on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube (on the MomOfAllCapes Channels).   We want to acknowledge that this year though intense and unprecedented in so many ways that lots of people are still hurting during these times.

So now that we have a new President-Elect, everyone is wondering how or even if we should move forward.

How do we talk to kids about Breonna Taylor or police brutality? #SayHerName... Since the death of Breonna Taylor, we’ve held many family discussions about race and other important topics.

September 18, 2020 04:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MB

Have you joined your school’s PTA, PTO, or PA, yet? Why not? They need you! The parent association at your school isn’t just a super-cliquey group of hyper controlling moms and dads putting on bake sales.
