#TakeTimeThursday 5-6- 21 Having Difficult Conversations with Youth Leniqua'dominique
Description
Are you seeking a fun and exciting way to introduce hard topics like "Black Lives Matter," body positivity, racism, colorism, and inclusion? Are you interested in developing self-esteem in children/youth? Leniqua'dominique Jenkins, local Ward 7 DC resident and author of “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall,” will show readers how to use her top-selling Amazon children's book as a resource to start difficult dialogs with young readers. This workshop will guide participants on healthy and smart ways to start conversations surrounding timely and important national topics, in easy and practical ways. This workshop addresses inclusive themes and is also helpful to approach difficult subjects with other adults, so we encourage all to attend. In June of 2020, Jenkins self-published a children’s book titled Mirror, “Mirror on the Wall.” This book celebrates melanin and promotes body positivity. As you turn each page, young readers will fall more deeply in love with all body types, skin tones, and learn to challenge beauty standards outside of western cultural norms. Additionally, this book is a great resource to develop self-esteem, confidence, and self-awareness particularly, for black and brown children.
