We’re back with Episode 5: Raising Free Black Children in a World That Wants to Cage Them.

Parenting in 2025 isn’t easy, and for Black families it’s even more layered. This week, Trina is diving into a real conversation about how we raise confident, free-thinking Black kids in a society that too often tries to break them down.

Here’s what we’re unpacking in this episode:

The roots of “tough love” vs. the ancestral truth of gentle parenting

How cultural pride, music, books, and even 80s/90s pop culture shape identity (yes, we’re talking Michael Jackson, Toni Morrison, Angela Davis, A Different World and more!)

Why racial identity and “the talk” are so important for our kids’ safety and self-worth

What “it takes a village” really looked like back then — and how we can rebuild it today

The hard numbers around Black children and poverty, mental health, foster care, and suicide

Practical steps parents, aunties, uncles, and mentors can take to raise children who feel free, even in a world that wants to cage them

This isn’t just a parenting talk — it’s about liberation, legacy, and love. 💜

✨ If you’re part of the village raising the next generation, this one’s for you.
