Heyyyyy Stoopkids! Its Season 3 Episode 7! Woohoo!

This is a super special episode because I didn't write this episode by myself! I had some help from some awesome Stoopkids who came to the "Write a Story w/Melly" event last week. And we had a blast! So thank you to all the Stoopkids that came and gave me their creative thoughts and ideas for this story!

Happy birthday to these special Stoopkids! Aarika, Matthew, Sylvan,  Nora, Lou, Georgia, Henry, Vincent, Aliyah and Islas. Also super shout to my sister Shaneka!

We got a Bonus Episode! Woohoo!!

Hey Stoopkids! This episode is a super special one. I co-wrote a story with my friends over at Stories Podcast (http://www.storiespodcast.com). In this episode, you will hear how two friends, from two different backgrounds, meet for the first time and how they navigate this new friendship. Sometimes making a new friend can be challenging, especially if you are from two different backgrounds. You will hear this story from 2 different perspectives, and a new song! Understanding how you and your friends feel in certain situations is so important and makes for strong, healthy and loving friendships! Listen to how these two learn from each other.

Episode 7! Here we go Stoopkids! Thanks for tuning into another episode. I know with what's going on in the world right now there are a lot of feelings and emotions. And I hope that you've been able to express your feelings to your family and friends. Talking it out always helps us feel better Stoopkids and StoopParents alike. So I want to introduce you to my friend McKinley, Mickey for short. In this episode, she realizes, kind of for the first time, that she's different and experiences something called microaggressions. Microaggressions is a big word that means when someone says or does something mean or negative to another person based on their race, gender or religion. It's not fair or fun to deal with. Listen to how Mickey deals with this situation and let me know if you've ever experienced anything like this. Be sure to follow on IG and Twitter @StoopkidStories. Also, if you are an artist and love to draw send us a picture of a drawing based on one of the stories. I would love to see it! #FanArt
