Can parents act on their progressive beliefs while overlooking what their own children need?

Grace Fooden-Correy reflects on Nikole Hannah-Jones’ essay about her daughter’s education and connects it to her own childhood navigating a predominantly white private school and a Black public school.

In this episode of A Mixed Executive Perspective, Grace explores mixed identity, race, class, school choice, and the emotional cost of appearing to be fine while feeling unheard. She challenges parents and allies to examine whether their actions match their ideals and whether children have a voice in decisions that shape their belonging.
