The Tea On C.R.T : Critical Race Theory Pt. 1

In this essential episode, Ardenia opens a profound dialogue on race and parenting, highlighting the pivotal role mothers play in shaping their children's understanding of racial dynamics. Through the narrative of two mothers preparing their sons for the outside world—one white, one black—Ardenia illustrates the starkly different conversations happening in homes across America. This episode challenges misconceptions about discussing race with children, emphasizing that such conversations are not about loss of innocence but about fostering empathy and understanding. Ardenia argues against the notion that having friends of different races exempts one from racial biases and underlines the importance of education in confronting uncomfortable truths. Through this mom-to-mom heart-to-heart, Ardenia invites listeners to reflect on their responsibilities, advocating for honest discussions about race, privilege, and empathy from an early age, and calls for an empathetic approach to teaching and understanding American history in its full context.
