Comedian, writer and girl dad #WKamauBell credits his three daughters with inspiring his hbo documentary '1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed.' Bell's wife #MelissaBell is white, and gives audiences a rare glimpse into their family's views on race and identity. ⁠ ⁠ Bell says watching his eldest daughter explain segregation to her little sister is something he’ll never forget. He explains during filming there was "fear of critical race theory and fear of American feeling too woke. Fear that kids couldn't handle discussions about race and racism because it would make them feel guilty or sad." To Bell's surprise, it turned out when they discussed race and racism, he says they didn't feel sad.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for how being a father of young girls changed his perception of gender. ⁠ ⁠ ✏️: Yahoo Life⁠ 📷: Getty
