Aja Rutledge

What would it be like to just pack up and leave it all behind for a new country?  What would it be life to NOT have to have the dreaded Black parent 'talk' with your son?  What would it be like to live a life free of daily microaggressions and stress completely related to your race?  Aja Rutledge found out. The day after Donald Trump was elected president, she applied for a passport and soon, she packed up her son and her life and moved....to Mexico. This is her story.

Tanya Hayles

When the boy child called me ‘Blackie’ from the back of his car seat and then told me proudly that his friend from school told him that word was another word for Black people, I started down this path to unpacking what it means to be a Black parent to black children in this world.  Part of the village that keeps me sane is the Black Moms Connection, an online mecca for Black mothers. Tanya Hayles the founder, chats with me about black motherhood, the backlash to Black Moms Connections, Black Panther and much more.

Last year an elected school board official in Ontario, Canada, called Charline Grant the N-word. Then that official refused to resign and blamed 'old age' and 'dementia' for her use of the N-word.  Charline battled the school board until a resignation happened and then she took it upon herself to run for School Trustee.  She's a trail blazer, who is giving voice to the struggles that Black students and parents face on a daily basis in the education system.  This is her story, it's my story and it's the story of the Black experience in education and how we have to educate the system to work for us. We reference a few reports in this podcast that you should read. The first is a report by Dr. Carl James called  Towards Race in Education.  If you are a teacher, if you are a Black parent, if you are someone interested in education or human rights...read this report.  You can't read it and not be appalled by what it says and the outcomes for Black students in Toronto, Canada.  Another report to read is the  Under Suspicion report, put out by the Ontario Human Rights Commission. It talks about racial profiling in general- but also spends time focusing on racial profiling in Education.   You can follow Charline Grant on twitter at:  @charlineGrant
