Teaching Our Kids to Speak Up: The Power of Self-Advocacy

How do we raise Black children to find their voices in a world that often tries to silence them? This episode explores the importance of teaching self-advocacy early—helping our kids navigate school, friendships, and everyday life with confidence. We’re breaking down the fine line between being respectful and being silent, and sharing age-appropriate ways to empower kids to speak up without fear.

We’re also tackling the reality of navigating authority figures and unfair treatment. How do we prepare our children for the biases they may face? How do we help them recognize when they’re being disrespected or overlooked—and equip them with the tools to respond? This conversation is all about raising bold, self-assured kids who know their voices matter.
