53) How to Talk to Your Kids About Race: Raising Anti-Racist Children with Isabel Cruz

How do you react when your child points out a difference in public? In this workshop-style episode of Dam Parenting, DEI advocate Isabel Cruz joins us to take a warm, honest, and direct look at raising culturally aware children in a diverse world. Living in the Netherlands offers a unique melting pot of cultures, but it also requires us to be intentional about how we discuss race, skin color, and heritage.

Isabel shares practical strategies for answering those "tricky" questions with honesty and compassion rather than hushed silence. We dive into a curated list of essential books—from Antiracist Baby to the works of Amsterdam’s own Mylo Freeman—and explore local resources like Colourful Goodies and the Bijlmer Bookstore. Whether you’re navigating a specific question or want to proactively build a more inclusive home library, this episode equips you with the tools to foster understanding and celebrate representation. It’s time to lean into the conversation.

Books to explore with your kids:

Antiracist Baby
Global Babies

All Are Welcome
Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race

I Walk with Vanessa

Under My Hijab
