Bonus: Interview About Transforming Anger Into Advocacy with Marjan Neshat
Listen now
Description
This weekend, Little Kids, Big Hearts recorded a new episode about one feeling that ALL of us have — anger! The guest Qook-a-leekie in our episode was played by a friend, Marjan Neshat, an amazing actress who has recently been channeling her own anger by amplifying the voices of people in her home country of  Iran. After recording the episode, Marjan stayed on for a one-on-one conversation about her recent experiences and advocacy related to what’s happening in Iran. We wanted to release it today because it’s about current events and seemed like a perfect discussion to share on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We believe deeply in having difficult conversations and not shying away from topics that may not be comfortable for everyone to discuss.  Parents don’t always have a choice about what kinds of conversations they have with their children. Children see, hear, and read everything around them,  and they have questions.  Parents, you might want to listen alone first before sharing this with your children.  We hope that you have a meaningful Martin Luther King Jr.  Day and we are excited to share the full episode with you soon!
