Welcome back to Black Mama Bearing! In this powerful season opener, I kick off Season 2 with a deep dive into what it truly means to raise free queer children, and by raising free children, we free ourselves in the process. This episode explores how freedom goes beyond safety and includes affirmation, joy, and the ability to live authentically. I unpack how race, gender, and identity intersect in parenting and offer five heartfelt, practical ways parents can support their queer kids.

Whether rethinking old beliefs or looking to build a more substantial, more affirming village, this episode offers love, insight, and real talk from one parent to another.

Oh, the character I was thinking of is David Fisher, played eloquently by Michael C Hall. Also, I loved Noah’s Arc for the 90’s. Who are you Mr favorite queer characters?
