Seattle Schools Community Forum

I recently interviewed the head of a great group, FOCs , (Families of Color), which is kind of a PEPS for those families.  Amy Pak is the Founder and Executive Director of FOCs. This is their mission statement: Families of Color Seattle (FOCS)  is dedicated to exploring racism, and engaging in anti-racist work in ways that are accessible to all people and ages. Families of Color Seattle is a safe space for families of color. Anti-racist work is often approached academically – FOCS incorporates art, play, music, food, and community building in their programming, parent groups and community dialogue series to engage parents, educators, and the broader community in anti-racist work. They offer parenting groups, arts classes and a bilingual pre-school.   I interviewed Ms. Pak earlier this summer about her work and FOCs.
