Black parents know the confidence and strong sense of autonomy that we work toward as we raise our children can be difficult to impart when our race puts our children at risk. On this episode, I hold space for the parents and community members who grapple with the conflicting feelings of trying to raising free people while feeling afraid for the safety of our children. With the obvious disregard for the missing DC girls, and the myriad other proof points that Black Lives don't matter to white people, how do we allow ourselves to give our children space to explore and express themselves? Perspective and compassion are offered here; listen in.
