White Mothers of Black/Biracial Children

Service Description

This is a 30-day course on how your anti-blackness shows up as you parent your biracial (Black) children and how to cause less harm. Are your toxic whiteness and anti-black racism harming your own biracial (Black) children? Why You Need This Course You may have a non-white partner and have non-white children, but that is NOT enough to make you anti-racist. You too must go on your anti-racism journey. You must dig deep to understand how your conscious and unconscious biases are harming your children and/or setting them up to harm other Black children. Who This Course Is and Is NOT For • This course is for white mothers of biracial (Black) children only. • This course IS for white women who want to stop the anti-black violence in their parenting to be a more humane parent. • This course IS for white women who want to reduce the amount of psychological harm done to their biracial children. • This course IS for white women who want to minimize the impact of their anti-black racism to raise biracial children who have more self-love and do less harm to other Black children. • This course is NOT for white women who want to be coddled with sugar-coated language and strategies. • This course is NOT for antagonists who want to dispute the truth, argue, minimize the reality, or center the feelings of whiteness. I reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone I deem antagonistic or problematic. What You’ll Learn In this course, you’ll learn about anti-blackness, how it shows up in your parenting and causes lethal violence to your biracial (Black) children, and how you can cause less harm and reduce your internalized anti-blackness.

The psychological harm that anti-black parenting causes in Black and biracial children. • Week 4. How to cause less damage and reduce internalized oppression.
