One really interesting thing after speaking with you and Scott is Sander looks very different from Silas and how is Sander going to be treated in the world versus how is Silas going to be treated. The film was premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival on August 10, 2014. Julian Dennison On 26-10-2002 Julian Dennison was born in Naenae, New Zealand. If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it. Then, he got enrolled at Hutt International Boys’ School in Upper Hutt. It’s important to show people how beautiful, amazing, and happy our families are, just the way they are. As you mentioned, there are so many types of families, and I am glad Scott and I were able to share from our perspective and discuss very real things that impact ours and the lives of many others around the world today.

Julia: What we are learning now, certainly in these times of revolution, activism, and Black Lives Matter is the importance of talking about these things. He goes to the Brookfield Camp in Wainuiomata in Wellington every year on Christmas with his extended family and they all enjoy their time together. We also needed to talk about, specifically, what it has been like for you Shaun, as a black dad, raising a black child, and a mixed-race child in America right now. In the episode with you, and Scott, it was a lot of Scott and I discussing how, as white people, we benefitted from our structure of racism in this country and not being afraid to talk about that. His family is very much into the entertainment industry and his grandfather himself was a writer. Julian Dennison made his first feature film appearance as Solomon in the drama movie, Shopping, in 2013. Dennison was just 13 years old when Hunt for the Wilderpeople released, and has since made big leaps in his movie career. Julia: We launched the podcast last month during PRIDE and there is a lot in the LGBTQ community about chosen families. Julian Dennison studied at Naenae Primary School. Working in editorial on the parenting beat, I’m often surrounded by nuclear families and when looking on Instagram you will often see these perfect little polished and filtered families: a mom, a dad, all the kids, wearing matching outfits. It has been great having another platform to speak authentically about family. You have entered an incorrect email address! I use to think, “When I have kids I knew I did not want to be the person…, As parents of multiple children, Scott and I know the struggle there is to give each child individual…, There are at least 3 types of transformations we can personally go on to create a happy and…, Not gonna lie, the first time I forced myself to sit down with the boys to color, I…, View this post on Instagram THANK YOU! Our show, “We Are Family” is an audio celebration of families of all shapes and sizes. The one thing that unites these families is love. How is society going to look at him when he comes out as a boy? The podcast episode with Ally and Beckett was one of my faves and I loved how Ally owned up to having to be accountable to educate herself of the process in which Beckett was embarking on. He is a husband and father to two amazing boys living out his life's purpose and passion for transformation motivation. I think it’s similar with race; CNN and Sesame Street did that anti-racism town hall which I thought was great talking to our kids about racism. Sometimes it would get me down and I would feel a little bit like my family was the odd family out. He has a twin brother named Christian. Representation matters and whether it’s Julia showing how she and her daughter Esme live in NYC or Scott and I raising our boys in Arizona. He later attended Hutt International Boys' School in Upper Hutt. He made his first theatrical film appearance as Kevin in the Australian 3D children’s drama film, Paper Planes, in 2015. What is your hope about the impact our show has in this realm of conversation? He has a twin brother named Christian. Julia: I think a lot of these topics like parenting trans kids or you being a black dad in America – and what that experience has been like and what Scott’s experience has been like as a white ally – are hard topics to talk about. It’s often easier to tiptoe around them and not speak about it. Julia: It feels good and important that our podcast is so much about lifting people’s voices and telling people’s stories, the oppressed, the marginalized. Ally was really great about talking about what went through her head. If we don’t have those conversations, then we aren’t going to get anywhere. I think it’s just the more we are able to not dance around these topics – like I love with Ally Sheedy she didn’t just say “the moment Beckett came out I was fine, it’s all good.” – the better it will be. What we are seeing on Instagram, this polished idea of the perfect family, is not necessarily what’s out there in America. Julian Dennison is a native of Lower Hutt, New Zealand, was born on 26th October 2002 to New Zealand decent parents. He is the second youngest amongst the 4 Dennison siblings. There are not enough people talking about raising trans kids, for example, and this is an opportunity that the more we talk about it, “normalize” it and talk about love being the connective thread between all these different families, the better. The public service announcement, which became an internet sensation in New Zealand and Australia,[5] was directed by Taika Waititi, who later asked Dennison to star in his film Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) without the need to audition. We did an excellent episode with Ally Sheedy, from Breakfast Club, and her transgender son Beckett Lansbury, and that was just a wonderful interview with the two of them just talking about Beckett’s experience being a transgender boy, what that was like with his mother and what he wanted from his parents. The film was premiered at Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2013. Also, listen and rate our show on your favorite platform for podcasts, just search “We Are Family”.

Shaun T is a fitness motivator, speaker, businessman, television personality, and choreographer. Julia: She talks about the fact that – as a parent – it was like “oh, whoa, what does this mean for my child?” What does it mean that my child will have to go through all of this?
