We chose holidays because they are fun and exciting times for children. We believe that children can relate to them and that they are great starting points for critical discussions. Critical discussions that use words like race, stereotype, <\/strong>and privilege<\/strong>. And, discussions that start in early childhood and never stop. We pair this with our love for education to create curriculums that encourage children to think critically about history, culture,<\/strong> and religion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our mission at Raising A Legacy is to empower and uplift others. This is done by giving parents and caregivers the tools to teach their children from an anti-bias\/anti-racist lens. We also offer the curriculums for the holidays that are not considered the \u201cnorm\u201d in our society for free in order to increase accessibility. We want children to be able to see themselves being represented and learn about special moments in their peers\u2019 lives. Because this builds empathy, which we hope will one day turn into action.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We work with people that celebrate each holiday to make sure they are represented respectfully and accurately and are currently working towards building a full-time team of individuals that represent all the holidays offered.<\/p>\n
