Parenting for Liberation

A Guide for Raising Black Children

Speaking directly to parents raising Black children in a world of racialized violence, this guidebook combines powerful storytelling with practical exercises, encouraging listeners to imagine methods of parenting rooted in liberation rather than fear.

In 2016, activist and mother Trina Greene Brown created the virtual multimedia platform Parenting for Liberation to connect, inspire, and uplift Black parents. In this book, she pairs personal anecdotes with open-ended reflective prompts; together, they help listeners dismantle harmful narratives about the Black family and imagine anti-oppressive parenting methods.

Parenting for Liberation fills a critical gap in currently available, timely parenting resources. Rooted in an Afrofuturistic vision of connectivity and inspiration, the community created within this book works to image a world that amplifies Black girl magic and Black boy joy, and everything in between.

Powerful guide

I wish every Black and Brown parent in the US and abroad could have access to this book and to parents for liberation groups. Thank you!
