Chrissy Teigen has opened up about how she and her husband John Legend are teaching their children, 4-year-old Luna and 2-year-old Miles, about both systemic racism and their own inherent privilege.
Speaking to Marie Claire, Chrissy said she and John make a conscious effort to talk to their kids about racism, and have used books to help them.
"There are books that I read when I became a mom that would explain to them hard and traumatic situations," Chrissy explained. "But it's really hard to teach them about their privilege; there are no books for that."
"We just try to talk to them like little adults, saying it in words they'll understand, making it known that it's very serious, and letting them ask as many questions as they need," Chrissy said.
She went on to tell a story about an occasion when she and John were followed in their car by two white men in Virginia, saying it was her "first taste of what happens to Black men every day."
