Feminist Press hosted a conversation with authors, Trina Greene Brown and Dani McClain, to talk about Black parenting in community during COVID-19! Trina Greene Brown is the author of the upcoming book,
This episode is a podcast within a podcast, Parenting for Liberation founder, Trina Greene Brown, was interviewed by Cindy Wang Brandt of Parenting Forward and Leslie Arreola Hillenbrand of Latinx Parenting to discuss "parenting de-centering whiteness." Trina shared about Parenting for Liberation and the work to bring parents together to look at the ways the systems have oppressed us historically and current ongoing oppression, and how can we heal them. We also discuss parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color.
This week we discuss Parenting for Liberation and the work Trina Greene Brown is doing within her organization for the Black community. As we continue the series, Parenting Decentering Whiteness, we explore what it means to be a Black parent and raising a Black child in today's world. Leslie Arreola Hillenbrand, the founder of Latinx Parenting, re-joins me as my co-host. We welcome Trina Greene Brown to the show. Trina is a mother, activist, and founder of Parenting for Liberation. Parenting for Liberation believes in the power of Black parents to conceive, birth, and nurture liberation for the future. Show Highlights: How Parenting for Liberation works to challenge notions of what it means to be a Black child As parents, as children, and as a family, we must ensure we are resilient, bold, proud, and joyful as Black folks. Parenting for Liberation tries to bring parents together to look at the ways the systems have oppressed us historically, current ongoing oppression, and how can we heal them Trina discusses the delicate balance between the positive and the negative parts of this her work It takes many different people in different movements to see how that contributes to the broader movement. A challenge to those who don't identify as parents of color because we could potentially interrupt the cycles of violence that impact communities of color at the hands and leadership of non-communities of color. We have a conversation about spanking and why gentle parenting, not spanking your children, is something we strive to do. We explore why white parents should be talking about the intersection of oppression, slavery, colonization, and its impacts on communities of color and the way we parent.

This podcast is a talk that Parenting for Liberation founder, Trina Greene Brown, gave at the National Conference for Children of Incarcerated Parents, hosted by Arizona State University. This Ted-Talk style presentation masterfully weaves personal storytelling of a child of a formerly incarcerated parent, who now gives back to incarcerated parents by facilitating liberated parent workshops with moms in prison. Trina Greene Brown, a Black feminist activist personally impacted by the prison industrial complex, is a powerhouse speaker who will make connections between the intersections of mass incarceration, racism, and parenting. She will share her innovative liberated parenting workshop series with incarcerated women on “Raising Liberated Children” for mothers who are incarcerated at a California's women's prison. Trina will thread stories about her relationship with her incarcerated father with the experiences of parents currently incarcerated, who rather than being afforded rehabilitation, restorative justice, or support to heal from the intergenerational trauma for themselves and their families, were incarcerated and separated from their families.
Trina Greene Brown has been recognized as a Black Feminist Rising in 2017 by Black Women’s Blueprint. You may know her from her podcast Parenting for Liberation. Trina brings fifteen years of experience as a youth organizer in ending violence with her personal role as a parent of two Black children. She calls herself a proud Black-feminist Mama-activist. She has contributed to On Parenting for the Washington Post, and in 2019, her writing will be featured in two anthologies centered on intersections of motherhood and activism.

Parenting for Liberation co-facilitated a Raising Liberated Children workshop series with mothers who are incarcerated at a California women's prison. This episode is dedicated to all the powerful workshop participants and their children. Listen to founder, Trina Greene Brown, and Cecilia Cabarello of Chicana Motherwork share how the workshop came together, why they picked mothering, healing, and intergenerational trauma as the workshop themes, how the workshops unfolded, the successes and challenges, the power of storytelling and communal healing, and what's next for more workshops with parents who are incarcerated as well as the wider community.
As we close out Black History Month, our founder, Trina Greene Brown, visited a local elementary school to do a read-along. After reading nearly 15 books with her son, who gave his reviews, she finally decided on “Lillian's Right to Vote.” Lillian's Right to Vote deals with the difficult topic of institutionalized racism in America. Using flashback memories, the book is a “split screen” that positions the current uphill battles to the voting booth side by side with the historical uphill struggle for racial justice in America.After engaging the students in a small discussion on the importance of voting, Trina facilitated a quick voting exercise to operationalize the concept of voting. This was a powerful way to engage the young people in Black History while looking forward to build a powerful Black Future, wherein young people wield their power at the polls for good.
According to Essence Magazine's "Black Girls Draw" series, "One of the greatest revolutionary acts as a Black person in America is Black motherhood." In our interview with illustrator, Jena Holliday, we discuss her artwork that represents the power of Black motherhood. In our discussion, Jena shares why she wanted to focus on Black motherhood, the importance of representation in art, and how being a mother inspired her own creativity. Jena also unveils an artist reflection of Parenting for Liberation's founder, Trina Greene Brown, being featured for her #100DaysofMotherhoodSOF To learn more about Jena's artwork, visit her design studio at www.spoonfuloffaith.com
In this special mini-episode, Cecilia Caballero from Chicana M(other)work teamed up with Trina Greene Brown, Black feminist mama-activist and founder of Parenting for Liberation, for a panel titled "Mothering the Revolution" at the Allied Media Conference 2017. The podcast begins with a dedication to the memory of Black mothers killed by police, Charleena Lyles and Megan Marie Hockaday, and we honor their spirits that guide our visions for justice. Ceci and Trina share their reflections about moderating their AMC session, including the shared role of digital storytelling in our respective projects and some challenges such as the difficulty of solidarity-building between parents and caregivers of color and white allies. Then, participants from the AMC session discuss their thoughts about what Mothering the Revolution means to them. We share tips, strategies, affirmations, resources, our fears, laughs, and more.
