In this episode of The Forum Podcast Julie Kratz shares stories, ideas, and research from her new children’s book, “Little Allies.” She discusses the importance and impact of having conversations about diversity, inclusion, and allyship earlier with the children in our lives.

Julie wrote her book in response to difficult conversations about racism at home with her own daughters. “Little Allies” and this talk are meant to be a resource to help parents and people leaders everywhere guide little ones along this journey toward allyship."
