SUMMARY:[Part 3] The Intersection of Transracial Adoption & Racial (in)Justice
DESCRIPTION:Please join Angela Tucker for a three-part webinar series designed for adoption agencies (staff and families)\, child-welfare organizations and conferences. \nTransracial caregiving is a multifaceted journey for the entire family\, but it is often the child who bears the brunt of navigating the complexity of the experience. It is critical that caregivers and parents understand the history of why children of color are over-represented in child-welfare in order to avoid perpetuating racism and to instead embrace an anti-racist outlook to support the health and wellbeing of transracial adoptees and/or transracial foster youth. This workshop will provide a window into the nuanced first-hand narratives of adoptees through videos\, anonymized case studies and Angela’s personal stories. This interactive workshop will leave you thinking about the role transracial adoption plays in our quest for racial justice in America. \nPART 3\nTransracial Adoptee Panel: Facilitated Discussion between Angela and a transracial adoptee panel. Question & answer session offered. \nAngela Tucker is a Black woman adopted from foster care to white parents. Her debut book: YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL: Stories of Race Identity\, and Transracial Adoption has received wide acclaim. Angela is the Founder and Executive Director of the Adoptee Mentoring Society and is the subject of Closure\, a documentary that chronicles her search for her biological parents. As a film producer\, author and cultural commentator\, Angela has appeared on CNN\, Al Jazeera\, The Red Table Talk\, in The New Yorker and has contributed to renowned fictional work\, including Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill and NBC’s hit show\, This Is Us. \nAngela is married to Bryan Tucker\, an Emmy-award winning filmmaker. They live in Seattle\, Washington.
