Jasmine's book recommendations
Jasmine Bradshaw is an anti-racist educator, educational consultant, podcaster and founder of First Name Basis, a business that specializes in giving adults the tools they need to teach kids to be anti-bias, anti-racist and inclusive. Jasmine uses her first-hand experience as a former teacher, as a mom of two young children, and as a Black bi-racial woman to inform her work. She collaborates with schools across the country to implement anti-racist curriculum and to train teachers to foster an anti-bias classroom environment. She is also the creator of multiple anti-racist educational resources, including her Bite-Sized Black History, Ally Elementary Jr., Ally Elementary and Ally Jr. High (coming winter 2023) curriculum for students and the First Name Basis Podcast — which has a library of over 130 episodes and more than 800,000 downloads — for parents and educators. When Jasmine isn’t working, she enjoys embroidery, attending library story time with her daughters and watching “The Office.”
