Dr. Aisha White and Jamilla Rice, Part 1

Show Notes

This season, we will be highlighting scholars and practitioners who are in active practice of implementing P.R.I.D.E. strategies because we want you to hear directly from those who are doing solution-oriented work and doing it well.

In part 1 of 2, new host Medina Jackson speaks with two champions for Black children's education, identity and justice,  Dr. Aisha White, Director of The PRIDE Program, and her daughter, Jamilla Rice, a voracious reader, writer, social justice focused educator and recipient of the 2009 Milken Family Foundation Teacher of the Year Award for the state of Pennsylvania. 

What is In My Skin?

Children see race. We want to learn more about what that means. Hear parents, scholars, illustrators, artists, and more explore how race impacted them as a child and how it affects their lives today. In My Skin is a production of P.R.I.D.E. -- Positive Racial Identity in Early Education -- a University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development program.
