Research shows that racial bias begins to develop in children as young as three years old. Fortunately, parents can disrupt the development of racial bias by talking intentionally with their children about race, racism, and difference. This program, led by Ellie Axe, Director of Story Starters, will provide participants with an overview of the research on race and kids, and will teach parents practical ways to start having conversations about race and racism with their children. Participants will leave with concrete actions they can take in their own home that will help to prepare children to navigate our diverse world.
Ellie Axe joined Story Starters as a co-director in the summer of 2018 and became Director in March 2020. She has over 15 years of experience building system-wide change through organizing in faith-based and secular institutions. After a number of years as an organizer, Ellie became intrigued with how organizational behavior and operations are drivers for success in social change institutions. This led her to pursue an MBA at the Simmons School of Management. Most recently Ellie was the Director of Operations at JOIN for Justice where she guided the strategic planning process, supporting the organization to pursue its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. She also managed staff and programs throughout the organization. Ellie lives in Newton, MA, with her husband and their two daughters.
