Dr. Escayg is an assistant professor of early childhood at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Her work focuses on bringing and anti-racist framework to early education. To learn more about Dr. Escayg, listen to the P.R.I.D.E. interview with her, recorded earlier this year.

P.R.I.D.E. (Positive Racial Identity Development in Early Education) is part of the University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development within the School of Education. Their goal is to help young Black children, aged 3 to 8, understand race and embrace their ethnicity and heritage. Studies have shown that when children are socialized to embrace their race, ethnicity, and heritage, it can lead to numerous positive outcomes. This event is part of the P.R.I.D.E. Speaker Series, which invites parents, caregivers, educators, and the community at-large to learn about and engage in discussions about race, education, and young children.
