1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Have you ever looked at something and thought, “Am I the only one seeing this?” If you’re a Black parent, you may have had that reaction to some of the viral advertising and products we’ve seen recently—from Converse and Target to American Eagle. What happens when our children encounter images and messages rooted in a history they may not yet understand. Host Shanera Williamson talks about why Black parents need to teach our children history, how we can help them recognize anti-Blackness without internalizing it, and why an apology from a company is only the beginning of accountability. Most importantly, this is a reminder for Black mothers: you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. We may not be able to control everything our children see—but we can help them understand it, talk about it, and know that harmful messages about Black people are never a reflection of their worth.
