43:39Now PlayingIn this episode, we sit down with Jahnine Davis to explore adultification—what it is, how it impacts children, specifically Black children, and why it’s a crucial issue we need to address. From being perceived as older than they are to facing harsher expectations and reduced protections, adultification bias shapes the way Black children experience education, social care, and the justice system.
Jahnine brings her expertise and lived experience to unpack how adultification manifests, the long-term effects it has on young people, the influence of racism and what we can do to challenge these harmful narratives. Through real-life examples, research insights, and practical strategies, we discuss what we can do to advocate for Black children to be seen, protected, and supported as who they truly are—children.
If you’re passionate about social justice, child protection, or simply want to understand this issue more deeply, this episode is essential listening.
