Before Mamie Clark and her husband, Kenneth, became known for their groundbreaking study on race and childhood, she was Mamie Phipps, a young Black child in a small  Arkansas town acutely aware of her own race. How did her childhood experience affect the work she would  become known for?

This is In My Skin, a podcast about race and childhood. We hope to encourage conversations about race and childhood by talking to the scholars, parents, authors, teachers, and artists whose work impacts young children today, and learning about their own childhood experiences with race.

Subscribe to In My Skin on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and make sure to rate and review the show. Our first full episode will drop on February 28.
