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.  Parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color Links (affiliates included): Trina’s website - https://parentingforliberation.org Parenting for Liberation: A Guidebook for Raising Black Children -https://amzn.to/2Wx4EKV Stacey Patton - https://amzn.to/2wu55eg Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome - https://amzn.to/2J6i8oT My Grandmother’s Hands - https://amzn.to/2J58rag We live for the We - https://amzn.to/3bmqqoT Parenting Forward Conference - https://www.parentingforwardconference.com Join us at the Parenting Forward Patreon Team -https://www.patreon.com/cindywangbrandt Parenting Forward, the Book - https://amzn.to/2GB6eDB   *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

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.

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.
