    54. Building Community In Conference [A solo episode with Yolanda]
    Sep 15 2022
    In this solo episode of Parenting Decolonized, I’m reaching out to you from Georgia, where I’m meeting with the Black Femme Freedom Collective and celebrating our one year anniversary! I also address a serious struggle I’ve been having lately and how I’m overcoming it. Plus, I give you a sneak peek into some of the speakers you will hear from and the workshops you can participate in during the Rona, Racism, and Radical Parenting Conference!

    Parenting Decolonized is brought to you by the Rona, Racism, and Radical Parenting Conference on September 23rd-25th, 2022! With 25+ speakers from various backgrounds and experiences, this conference is designed to equip you with the knowledge and practical advice you need to help you manage your triggers, yell less, connect more, and raise liberated, emotionally-well children.

    With this conference, I’m hoping we can come together and not only talk about what’s wrong, but discuss solutions and focus on how we can be the change we want to see.
