Think of the people in your life. What makes them who they are? And, how can you honor their unique preferences, experiences, and needs while still holding space for yourself? In this episode of Care Work, Karen Thomas, the content facilitation manager at Ethos, a former K-12 teacher, and an adult educator of parents with transracially adopted children, talks about how her own life experiences and direct work with kids and parents taught her how do just that. 

Press play for a deep dive into:

  • The importance of balancing what you can and can’t control
  • How to navigate  the multi-layered trauma of transracial adoption among parents and kids
  • What it takes to create safe spaces for every learning style
  • What changes the education system needs to make to support true equity in learning
