Episode Transcription

Hi friends, it’s Jelani Memory, Founder of A Kids Co. I’m popping in with something special to share with you.

Over the years, we’ve talked about some of the most important and challenging topics kids and grownups face. And now, we’re taking that mission even further with a brand-new show from A Kids Co.

It’s called Raising Us, and it’s hosted by award-winning journalist and fellow parent Elise Hu who you might know from TED Talks Daily or Forever35 podcasts. Each week, Elise dives into the questions our kids are asking right now, and the ones we sometimes struggle to answer. You’ll hear powerful stories, thoughtful conversations with experts, and practical tools you can use to start meaningful talks at home.

Think of it as a parenting podcast that’s really about growing up together. Whether you have a child or just a kid you love in your life, these episodes will help you navigate the big stuff with honesty and confidence.

Our very first episode is about fatphobia and body image. How the messages kids get early on can shape the way they see themselves for years to come. It’s an eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss.

You can find Raising Us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. Just search for “Raising Us” and hit follow so you never miss an episode.
