Offering a window into the lessons of grief, surrender, and Liberation as a parent in the intersecting pandemics of COVID-19 and Anti-Black Racism.
Let’s begin where I left off in Looking Into My Window…
Denial is a tool of White Supremacy.
It breeds complacency.
It feeds off of silence.
Silence IS violence.
- Mama J
I then ended with two personal inquiry questions:
- How is silence showing up for you in your parenting?
- What are the things not being said?
As a chief officer (aka manager of countless projects and never being satisfied) for two companies, I too have been sitting with these questions. Pondering what’s “too much” or “just enough” to reveal for transparency while not sharing all the tea. Because for me, it’s not about calling anyone out instead it’s about the lesson that comes from the breakdown and what it reveals about our deepest wounds. What remains to be healed.
