8.2.15, Race Matters: Reflections of a White Parent of Black Children, Eli Scearce

I always thought I had been antiracist in practice, living as an adult in Germantown for over 20 years. The last ten years I have come a long way in my understanding of race and how it affects my children and how I have been complicit by not understanding my white privilege and biases.  I will share my learnings so far on this incredible continuing journey.

Eli Scearce is a furniture maker and teacher at Germantown Friends School.  Having attended countless hours of professional development work on anti-racism and White privilege she works at both GFS and USG to help create more multicultural and inclusive communities. She is also raising her two children with her wife, partner of more than 20 years.
