I wanted my daughters to take a look at it. Not but for any reason but for us to discuss it later.
I know this is something that seems a bit off the beaten path but I want to be able to be clear with my children about what the world sees and thinks about their mother and about them as young women.
we will be watching it throughout the week and I am posting the links here for the weeks little ditty for Timeka as well as others to be a able to see it.
Do I agree with what is being said about us? No I dont not all of it. It's not like this information is not readily available online for all to gather but I think this is a healthy dialogue I can begin with my children Imani and Timeka.
I guess my post in this is this.....find something that your kids NEED to know about NEED to find out about that affects them and then talk to them about it once you present it to them. I want them to understand politics and money and education.
Yes we even have moments where we discuss what fork is eaten at what time of the meal. How bout that.
We have so many rules and off the wall things we do that I am teaching them. More on that later.
But in the mean time check out the posts on nbc on what they are saying about us as black women. Then talk about it and form your own thoughts and opinions about it.
Til next time.
