Finding My Outside Voice - Racial Literacy for Shielding Proximal Racial Hate
Having to navigate the stress of proximal interpersonal racial conflict and injustice is harmful to physical, emotional, and academic well-being of youth and families of color. As legal remedies are under attack, many school leaders and families question if systemic changes will come fast enough. Disrupting racial hostility in relationships and climates remains a significant challenge. Racial socialization is one strategy families use to protect their children from this harm. Despite its buffering benefits, these racial socialization practices are hampered by stressfulness and competency in communication. Based on RECAST (Racial Encounter Coping Appraisal and Socialization Theory) theory, racial literacy training prepares youth and families by practicing mindfulness, emotional regulation, and prejudice confrontation skills to competency. This talk will focus on how racial literacy training helps youth and families regulate and assertively confront microaggression stress and prevent long-term trauma from racial hate in proximal relationships and climates.
