What can our ancestral history teach us about parenting, liberation, and revolution? A lot. Let’s get into it. In this episode of Parenting Decolonized, I welcome Dr. Crystal Menzies, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of EmancipatED, an organization that centers stories of joy and resistance within the African Diaspora through the creation of educational resources and curricula. Listen in to learn about how liberation work and conscious parenting are rooted in our ancestral practices and how we can reclaim these colonized practices to revolutionize our future.

In this episode, we talk about…

The history of Maroon communities and why they’re significant to us today.
How white people have colonized and rebranded tribal parenting methods.
How to intentionally build a supportive community to help nurture your conscious parenting and liberation work.
The EmancipatED Experience: A brand new community education resource that supports the enrichment of Black families and our larger kinship communities.
….and more!
Looking for a community that will support you on your parenting decolonization journey?

Listen in to this discussion to learn more and consider joining the Conscious Parenting for Social Justice Collective, our Black-led, multiracial collective of parents, working together to simultaneously transform ourselves, our families, and our communities by decolonizing our minds and healing racial traumas! Hope to see you there!
