Bella, 18, and Danika, 15, are biracial as Faulkner, is Black and Berlin is white.
Faulkner admitted her fears about racial and political tensions as Bella plans to attend college in the fall.
“As a person of color, and as a person who speaks boldly about faith, it’s very adjacent when people are hated for the way that they believe, and their position in society,” Faulkner told the Daily Mail in a recent interview.
Faulkner and Berlin, a media consultant, raised their daughters in a household with different religions as Faulkner is Baptist Christian and Berlin is Jewish. The two have been married since 2003.
“Am I more worried about them standing out for their hair texture and their skin color or their faith?” she asked.
“I’m worried about all of it. And not just for my kids”
Faulkner continued, “I really think it’s important for Jewish children on campuses to know that they have partners, that the hate on the campus is a microcosm compared with the love that’s out there.”
The mom also shared her view that transgender women shouldn’t compete in sports, echoing President Donald Trump’s recent executive order.
Faulkner said her youngest daughter just completed eight years of competing at an elite level in gymnastics.
“The sport would be very different if there were biological men who could compete against my daughter,” she said.
