Last week, Kao Kalia Young hosted an amazing workshop with East Side Learning Center! Kao is an award-winning author, speaker, writer, and educator. To a crowd of ESLC community members, she read passages from her children's books and spoke about the unique roots of children from refugee families. We were moved by Kao's personal stories and her advice for how educators and tutors can teach refugee children with respect for their experience. Thank you for your inspiring and powerful words, Kao!

The entire workshop, titled "Understanding and Teaching Our Children from Refugee Families," will be available on-demand on YouTube soon.
