RACE (Part 2 - Parenting Decolonized with Yolanda Williams)

This is a conversation with Yolanda Williams, founder of Parenting Decolonized, a podcast and educational platform that focuses on the ways that racist structures and white supremacy impact the black family. We get into the ways the process of  decolonization looks different for black and white families, the role of capitalism in creating a racial divide in the United States, the root of the reasons that black parents tend to parent their children with violence and harshness, what ally-ship means (and doesn’t mean), and the importance of seeking out and teaching our kids the truth about the history of race in America.

Yolanda Williams is a Certified Positive Discipline Coach and Host of the podcast Parenting Decolonized, a show that unpacks how colonization has impacted the black family and teaches parents how to raise liberated black children without breaking their spirits. When she’s not advocating for the safety and liberation of black children from white supremacy and parental oppression, she’s chasing her toddler around the house and trying to remain sane.
