One thing I’ve learned on my journey as a parent

One thing I’ve learned on my journey as a parent, is that we don’t need to just accept the way things are. When I first pulled W out of school for home education, a lot of people were angry. I was told I was mollycoddling W, I was told that it’s a part of life for a child to be unhappy, I was told that I was teaching W that it’s okay to quit or change things you don’t like. And? That’s exactly what I want to teach my children, it’s what we should all teach our children. Not only that if they’re not happy they can change their environment, they can stand up for themselves and others but also that it will make a difference. This happy child is miles away from the traumatised, unhappy kid of 2.5 years ago. What is happening now, CAN and WILL make a difference, we are living through history and hopefully we will all come out better off for it. #bethechange #makeithappen #parenthood #childhood

It’s June 2020, I’ve spent the last few days talking to friends about what’s going on. We don’t if we should laugh or cry. My best friend pointed out to me that we have been talking about this stuff since we met in school, nothing has changed. I’m at a point now where I need to consider 1. What sort of world do I want my children to live in? 2. What can I do to make a difference? I think we can all make a difference no matter how small, if you have a platform use it, if you’re a teacher educate, if your a professional be actively aware. Nothing, NOTHING justifies murder, nothing justifies the oppression of any group of people, something needs to change. It must.

I’ll never forget the day that a stranger viewed

I’ll never forget the day that a stranger viewed my toddler having a tantrum over his scooter as me attempting to kidnap him. When I called my dad and told him what had happened he replied “nothing’s changed then.” My father is a black man, my brother is a black man, my uncles and cousins are black men. How can we protect them when despite our campaigns and protests, our speeches and rants, our marches and vigils all we can say is “nothing’s changed”? We need allies and we need action. The boys have the privilege of being white presenting/passing - but they’re not immune or excused. I talk to them every day about race and discrimination, that people will turn their backs on them when they find out they are of African descent, that our ancestors were enslaved. I tell them that the black men in our family who they love and admire are treated with suspicion and derision, that it could result in their death. I tell them these things with the hope that one day they can say “something has changed”. #icantbreathe #action #allies #blacklivesmatter #multiethnic #dualheritage #biracial #mixed #mixedkids #mixedfamily #racism #family #blackmen #blackman #bethechange #makeithappen #actionnow #strangerdanger #notthenanny #love #whiteprivilege #privilege #consciouskids #brothers #poad #poc #knowyourself #justice #stopkillingus
