Child care & upbringing

Parenting for liberation, written by activist and mother Trina Greene Brown who founded the multimedia platform of the same name, fills a critical gap in currently available resources for liberated parenting. Pairing personal stories from her successful podcast series with open-ended prompts designed to inspire reflection and creativity, the book provides guidance for those seeking to dismantle harmful narratives about the Black family, initiate difficult conversations on social issues with their children, and find community with other parents who share their struggle.

Reviews for Parenting for Liberation: A Guide for Raising Black Children

Trina Greene Brown has created a guide for Black parents who want to raise fierce, fearless, joyful children. She knows what a challenge this is given the state of the world but argues that liberated parenting is possible if we commit to knowing and trusting ourselves, our children, and our communities. Anyone curious about how to walk with a child through tumultuous times needs to read this book now. -Dani McClain, author of We Live for the We: The Political Power of Black Motherhood Trina Greene Brown's Parenting for Liberation allows all of us to raise Black children to be their most liberated selves, and ultimately helps us be more free too. -Mia Birdsong, author of How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community As a 'woke' Black mom, I've been on a never-ending quest to find a book that would enable me to shift my parenting lens from one based on trauma to one of freedom and joy. Trina Greene-Brown has written that book! -A. Rochaun Meadows-Fernandez, writer for On Parenting, Washington Post
