Raising children is hard. Raising children while black is even harder. The Parenting Decolonized podcast shines the light on how colonization has impacted the black family structure and what to do about it. Host Yolanda Williams takes you on the journey as she learns how to raise liberated black children without breaking their spirits. Yolanda and her guests discuss how to decolonize your parenting by resisting old narratives, how to use conscious parenting as activism against white supremacy, reclaiming ancestral ways of parenting, and how to become a more mindful, conscious parent.
61. Big Changes Are Coming in 2023 [A solo episode with Yolanda]
In this solo episode of Parenting Decolonized, I’m sharing my plans for 2023 and the exciting (and much-needed) changes I’m making to both my life and the Parenting Decolonized community. Spoiler alert! I’m moving Parenting Decolonized to YouTube! Listen in to hear why I’m doing this, along with my thoughts on a 2023 conference, the books I’m starting to write and publish, and the podcast I’m thinking of starting with the ladies of the Black Femme Freedom Collective. These are exciting shifts so if you want to join me for the ride, get on board and buckle up! Thank you for being such a beautiful, caring, and supportive community. Take care and I’ll talk to you in 2023.
