Children Deserve Better
Welcome to Children Deserve Better—the community we all need to raise, teach, and care for children who think critically and value equity, kindness, and justice.
Hosted by Dr. Jasmine Moses—an Anti-bias and Anti-Racist early childhood educator, advocate, toddler mom, and founder of Equity in Bloom—this podcast dares to dismantle harmful structures surrounding children, ditch outdated policies and practices, reimagine what’s possible, and build a more liberated future for every child.
The strategies and stories you hear can be applied to anything from your early childhood classroom, homeschool pod, library, or community space, as we explore how to transform childhood into a journey of love, curiosity, and liberation.
And don’t worry, Dr. Jasmine is here to do this work right alongside you—because it’s about time we set out to rethink some of these outdated practices, don’t you think?
Love children? Want to see them thrive? This podcast is for you. Join us for real talk, practical tools, and inspiring stories that challenge the status quo and empower us to create the world our children deserve.
All children are our children, and they deserve better.
