"I know there are Children , the engagement with black history for the First Time in her life," he says.

He says that while his three Children , all under five years of age, are too young to have a direct discussion about George Floyd, he knows many other black Children were affected.

He expects talks to crop-up with his daughters, especially around body image, there is a lack of representation In Society .

His oldest daughter was "thrilled", he says, if you One Day was taught by a gym teacher in high school, was also of mixed heritage. She told her father, without being asked, "teacher, today was hair like mine, and skin that looked like mine."

she was not the only Black Child in her class, And One day, five years old, she refused to Get Out of The Car , if you said in school: "Mama, I want to be the only different".

"I was totally floored," says Georgena. "I don't know what to say, at this moment In Time , and I knew then, that I have not done a good enough job.

"I had previously said," it is because, you're special, you're the only one, the brown, and you're simply different than all the others', But that was not good enough for you Now . "

"I've never seen someone grab a concept so much to The Point where everyone you met after that, she had to tell them where she was. She was really proud of it. "

Georgena says she accepts their innocence, have come to "a crashing end at some point," But you want Children to stay as long as possible.

"I want you to say proud of the fact that you are black, and also not to feel that their difference is negative considered," she said.

"If I tell you, racism, and bring you into their world-the fact that Some People do not like them because of their difference that could impact on your self-esteem. "
