First Name Basis

First Name Basis is an anti-bias education project that shares podcasts, lesson plans, and family resources focused on race, identity, and justice. Host Jasmine Bradshaw draws on classroom experience and research to offer concrete tools for talking with kids about hard history, stereotypes, and inclusion. Parents and educators appreciate the gentle, practical guidance and the way episodes model real conversations. Resources are best suited for elementary through middle schoolers, though many concepts extend further. The perspective is explicitly anti-racist and justice-oriented, which aligns well with many secular and faith-based social justice communities. For maximum impact, pair listening with picture books, biographies, and local history work.
