Raising Rebels is a parenting podcast featuring courageous conversations with real parents. Parenting can be so lonely. Our work is to encourage children to be fully themselves in a society that doesn’t always celebrate them. This season, we tackle everything from sexuality and race, to co-parenting and money, all with the goal of liberating our children.
This week we’re talking about beauty: what makes us feel beautiful, how to make our children feel beautiful. We get into all the complications of living in a world where our black and brown children often aren’t celebrated for their beauty and are made to feel other. Our guest is friend of the pod (and Noleca’s Friend Crush!) Ola Ronke, artist, set designer and founder of The Free Black Women’s Library. Find her on Patreon HERE and support her work!
