Advocating for your child in School

This place was created for black people living or working in majority white spaces, and those who struggle with black identity because they don’t fit the stereotypical ideas of what it means to be black. You’ll hear the stories of people like you. You’ll learn strategies for developing a strong black identity in yourself and in your children. We’ll discover how to thrive in black picket fence environments without losing yourself.  And hopefully you’ll feel less alone on your journey. This place was created for you. You belong here. Welcome to Black Picket Fence.Your hosts:  Alecia Baptiste and Deondra BensonEpisodes edited by:  Dan Caporello
