This weeks episode faces several very difficult and necessary discussions. We invited an amazing childrens book author, Rahma Rodaah, who saw the need for diversity in childrens books and took action. This is just who Rahma is and she's so talented at seeing needs that TedX also had her speak on difficult subjects relating to growing up as a Person of Color in Canada. Rahma talks today about raising children in todays society to be strong and confident in who they are, about the role of Influencers during this time and about racial bias.
