Hues of You PLAYshop

Ever feel unsure about how to talk with kids about our skin tones, race, ethnicity, cultural backgrounds, or what makes each of us unique—without it feeling heavy or complicated?

Join Dr. Lucretia Carter Berry for the Hues of You PLAYshop—a playful, heart-centered experience that gives grown-ups simple tools and children the space to wonder, explore, and connect. With her vibrant activity book, the Hues of You Framework, and three gentle practices, Dr. Berry shows how curiosity can open doors to understanding, celebration, and deeper connection across all our beautiful differences.
