Synopsis

Speaking directly to parents raising Black children in a world of racialized violence, this guidebook combines powerful storytelling with practical exercises, encouraging listeners to imagine methods of parenting rooted in liberation rather than fear.

In 2016, activist and mother Trina Greene Brown created the virtual multimedia platform Parenting for Liberation to connect, inspire, and uplift Black parents. In this book, she pairs personal anecdotes with open-ended reflective prompts; together, they help listeners dismantle harmful narratives about the Black family and imagine anti-oppressive parenting methods.

Parenting for Liberation fills a critical gap in currently available, timely parenting resources. Rooted in an Afrofuturistic vision of connectivity and inspiration, the community created within these pages works to image a world that amplifies Black girl magic and Black boy joy, and everything in between.

Goodreads review by Corey on April 10, 2021

Glad I read this one, though it didn't go as in depth into the concepts as I would have liked. "Parenting for Liberation" is such a strong title, and I believe that coupled with the attempt to cover so much ground in one book took away from the experience for me. It felt like a series of teasers, ra......more
