View this post on Instagram "I can't win." "It's never good enough." These are defeatist narratives I am hearing from white people who are dipping their toes into speaking about race for the first time, and finding it to be complex and nuanced and maybe not as easy as they'd hoping. I'm talking about the aspects of privilege that are bubbling up in these kinds of statements, from our belief that black voices should be a . . .

Recovery mode | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. We said goodbye to my nephews yesterday. We had such a great time with them. We are slowly recovering from our two-week run of hosting family. We showed them all the best sites in OC (pretty much a repeat of all of the places we took my sister). Then we spent a long weekend lazing around the pool in Palm Springs. It was so much fun, but now I'm dealing with a serious vacation hangover. Today I was determined to "get . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Meet Yahya!
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

View this post on Instagram I'm absolutely giddy to be talking with one of my favorite authors. @oureric and I are talking about the weird world of writing on the internet, finding the balance between writing about humor and pop culture and also writing about social justice issues, and of course . . . our mutual love of the theater. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, and as we discussed how we've tried to engage . . .

Touristy | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. My sister, her husband, and their 15-month-old daughter have been visiting with us this week. It has been so great to have them out - it's been way too long. The last time they came out was right after I had India (when I took a road trip to Vegas with a 4-week-old. 'Cause I like to keep it classy like that). This was a much more mellow trip, although we are all a bit sleep deprived. My three kids shared a room while they . . .

People love to say that racism has to be taught. I'm not so sure anymore. I think we are swimming in a racist environment and kids pick up on it because it's all around us. One thing I do know: antiracism has to be taught. We need to be intentional. And it needs to be an ongoing dialogue.
