Beyond FINESSE: iCelebrateDiversity
Tracy Jackson, another mom with children of mixed-race heritage, not only talks about diversity, she acts on it. Her site iCelebrateDiversity.com offers an impressive collection of resources that promote understanding and acceptance of racial and cultural differences:
Shop: Decor, jewelry, apparel, stationery, dolls, music, even diversity jelly beans! Since the colors and flavors of these jelly beans don't coincide, they prompt discussions of what can happen when people judge based on appearances.
Educate: Resources for educators of multicultural issues. Includes links to magazines on diversity.
Community: Lists of on-line and in-person support groups covering international and transracial adoption as well as biracial, interracial, and multicultural issues and diverse abilities.
Inspire: Features "Action Takers": people, schools, and organizations that promote tolerance and celebrate diversity. Also includes a list of Diversity Quotes. My favorite is Mahatma Gandhi's "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Tracy Jackson is doing just that.
