But as long as racial injustice exists, we cannot deliver on this mission. To build healthy futures, we believe we need to not just nurture young bodies, but also young minds. This includes building an honest conversation about the world around us. For some, these conversations have been instilled from first words. For others, this is all new. No matter where your family is at, we want to offer some guidance in bringing the conversation on race forward. Because we believe that what we teach in the home has real effects on the world. We hope these resources can help your family have open and honest discussions on how to be actively anti-racist and effectively build healthier futures for all.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>A Note on Acknowledging Race\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green, orange, purple—we teach our children to see colors on their plates and the importance of every color in nurturing their bodies. But when it comes to skin color, we often forget that these colors need to be taught too. There is a strong body of research showing that it’s not just “Treat all skin colors equally.” It’s, “We are the same, but we are different. Different skin colors lead to different experiences, and we need to work to change the forces that make our experiences different.” \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acknowledging skin color isn’t a bad thing.
