Decolonize Your Parenting with Yolanda Williams

Black History Year

Today's History Story: The Jim Crow Etiquette of The Word "LIE"

Parenting is never easy, especially when raising a Black child in a world hellbent on dehumanizing us. That’s why today’s episode is so crucial—we’re talking about the historical legacies that have shaped modern parenting and what it takes to decolonize it. Joining us in doing that work is the incredible Yolanda Williams.

Yolanda is a racial justice educator, conscious parenting coach, and the visionary behind Parenting Decolonized. Her work empowers parents to dismantle white supremacy and raise liberated, independent, and emotionally resilient children.

This episode will have you rethinking your own upbringing and might ignite a revolution in the way you parent.
