Britt Hawthorne is an anti-racist educator, teacher, speaker, visionary, and activist committed to raising a generation of anti-racist children by centering families of the global majority and fostering equitable learning environments for students and children of all ages and backgrounds. Britt’s work moves the idea of equity in education from a goal to reality.

In this dynamic conversation, Britt shares the backstory to her online community and Collective Liberation. She also tells us about her experience being pushed out of teaching, when her two Black sons experienced educational racism. We talk about “power over, power with, and power within,” as well as the prison technologies upheld in many schools. We also hear about Britt's new book, "Raising Anti-Racist Children: A Practical Parenting Guide" which will be out in 2022.
